Maezawa from the president’s office will answer this as well.
Thank you for your question.
It doesn’t get talked about much, but there are actually two different mindsets among Type A women.
① Women who simply want the money, but absolutely have no intention of doing anything beyond meals.
② Women who want to be paid for meals only, but feel that if the man is genuinely a good person, an adult relationship could eventually be possible.
With type ①, it will always be dinner only, no matter how long you continue seeing her. She comes to these dinner dates as a purely transactional arrangement, so if you bring up taking things any further, even slightly, she may stop replying from then on.
Type ② is basically the same at first, but as you listen to her concerns and provide various kinds of support, she may gradually develop feelings for you. At that point, although she still needs the money, she may start to feel that she wouldn’t mind having that kind of relationship with you.
That said, you’ll generally need around six months of dinner dates, and naturally, she won’t develop those feelings unless you’re the kind of genuinely good man she can come to like.
So in this case, you’re essentially trying to win her over over the course of six months. If you can’t do that within six months, it will probably be difficult after that as well.
If you can continue going on dinner dates with a Type A woman for six months without bringing up an adult relationship at all, then dating a Type A woman could work for you.
However, if you’re casually thinking that an adult relationship might happen after two or three dates, that falls under Type B. If you expect that from a Type A woman, not only will things fail to work out, but you may also make her feel uncomfortable.
The basic approach with a Type A woman is to go on dates without ever mentioning an adult relationship, and wait for her to sense what you want and say, “I’m okay with it today.”
You should think of it as a relationship where you try to win her over without ever bringing up an adult relationship yourself.
I’m in Seattle.
As for Type A, I’ve met five people over the past two years, and things progressed with only one of them.
Even after a year, I never invite them to anything beyond dinner. One person invited me first after about eight months, perhaps because of financial circumstances. We’re still often just meeting for dinner since we’re not particularly compatible physically.
The other two relationships have also continued as dinner-only arrangements. They’re all wonderful people.

If you’re hung up on types or an adult relationship (intimate), you might want to avoid Type A.
How far things go is up to you. (Though, judging from your wording, it sounds like you’re thinking, “If there’s even a possibility…” That comes across badly. Whether there’s a possibility or not, you should just honestly say you like him and go for it—nothing ventured, nothing gained. Otherwise, he’ll never see your appeal.)
With a normal romantic connection, there are no type classifications or assumptions about an adult relationship (intimate).
The type system is simply there to make it easier for women to decline and to give men a rough guideline so they can decide whether to give up.
