I’ve fallen for the man I’ve been seeing. It’s been about six months.

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here. Thank you for your question. Whether you’ve truly fallen for this person or not isn’t really the important thing. As long as you continue meeting while receiving an allowance, you can probably keep moving forward with the relationship as it is now. However, the moment you say out loud that you’ve fallen for them, the relationship could fall apart. So what should you do? I think you should continue seeing them just as you have been. Keep your feelings for them to yourself. In fact, that may be the best approach. Then, think as hard as you can about how to make them say that they like you. Think about how you can turn an experienced, worldly-wise man’s attention toward you and make him captivated by you. If you can do that, a new path may open up for you.

I’m Tetsu, a male member. I’m envious of your papa (a male supporter). I’d love to meet a woman like you, too. I don’t think you need to give up. Women can become more beautiful when they’re excited about someone. It would be such a waste to let go of an opportunity to feel that way. Even if you were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, you’d still find yourself looking forward to seeing him again on the days you couldn’t meet. So your current situation isn’t really any different, is it? You may say that a boyfriend and a papa are different, but you never know when a boyfriend might break up with you, so in that sense, there’s not much difference. I’m sure you understand the boundaries and discretion needed when participating in a dating club. As long as you don’t lose sight of those, I think you can simply enjoy things for now by thinking of your papa as your boyfriend.

I’m a male member here, “Paper Airplane.” Whether she’s a sex worker, a massage-parlor therapist, a hostess, or a lounge hostess, even if she sees the man as nothing but a customer, some of them do actually end up getting married and living together. When it comes to relationships between men and women, nothing is impossible.

I’m Column Writer Flag Maker. Yes, I have. Actually, I’m going through exactly that right now. Just not seeing a read receipt on LINE for a few days had me so shaken and anxious that I couldn’t focus on work. It would’ve been enough to conclude, “Did I get dumped?”—but then I started wondering, “What if she’s dead?” (lol) Then I realized, “Ah, so this is what it feels like to contact the club about a woman who suddenly stopped replying.” (lol) I came to the conclusion that I’d been dumped, and last night I had my best friend listen to me on the phone for hours. It’s embarrassing, especially since I’m almost 40… I was suffering so much that I was just about to go sing breakup songs at karaoke alone, in tears. But then, at long last, I got a reply—and I’m happy now. I think I’ll be able to work today. (lol) How many times am I going to go through this…? I came to a dating club because I never wanted to experience this kind of pain again. ^^; Still, if I can keep it all to myself without ever causing the other person any trouble, I feel like I’ve grown a little compared with before. So I’ll continue to suffer in solitude. As for the answer: “As long as there’s an allowance involved, you don’t have to give up.” If you’d like to talk to someone about your worries or vent, feel free to contact me below. 【Papa-katsu Advice Room: How to Apply】 ・Please send the details of your concerns to the email address below.

I’m Marika, a female member. Yes, that happens. You can’t help who you like. Even meeting other people won’t make up for it. If someone even more wonderful comes along, you may be able to let go—or it simply won’t matter anymore.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with developing feelings, as long as they don’t go beyond the allowance-based relationship. Within those boundaries, I like all the women I’m seeing. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t want to meet a woman I met through a dating club more than three times.
