I’m a male member. This is about something that happened a little while ago—I was the one who asked the question below.

This content is machine-translated.
https://universe-club.jp/help/questions/view/4997 Something happened that was different from what everyone, myself included, expected. She contacted me three days later. Since I had emailed her in advance asking which dates and times she was available in December, she told me when she was free, and we ended up scheduling a meeting for this weekend. In fact, that was the only time she replied. Regarding the meeting place, all I’ve received is a read receipt on the message I sent in response. I was very happy to hear from her after I had already given up, but since then, another woman introduced to me by the club has turned out to be the best I’ve ever met in terms of how comfortable I feel with her and how responsive she is—we’ve already met four times. Because of that, I can feel my initial excitement fading. I understand what everyone said about not comparing women and that each person has her own good qualities, but hearing from her only once in an entire month really makes me feel that I’m barely on her radar at all, and I’ve started wondering whether I should tell her I’m canceling. On the other hand, aside from her email response time, she really is a lovely woman, so I’m debating whether I should be honest with her if we manage to meet this weekend. I joined the club this year and have had all sorts of experiences. I’ve even gradually managed to accept last-minute cancellations as part of dating—I’m grateful to Paper Airplane for that way of thinking. In that sense, part of me also wants to experience a date where we’ve exchanged only one message to set the date and time, with nothing but a read receipt afterward, and see whether we really do end up meeting. This may sound petty, but I also keep thinking about the cancellation fee for the restaurant I booked in the genre she likes, as well as the hotel cancellation fee. And, to be completely honest about the even more questionable part, I’m scheduled to have a Christmas date with another woman the day after I’m supposed to meet her. My question is: if you were in my position, how would you handle this? Thank you in advance.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here, and I’ll answer this one too. Thanks for your question. I think it’s best to meet them first and decide afterward. Once you meet, you may find yourself thinking, “Actually, I like them after all.” If that happens, I don’t see why you couldn’t date both.

I’m Basil, a male member. I generally don’t tolerate poor communication, and I’m reluctant to pay cancellation fees. I contact them the day before cancellation is still possible, and if they don’t reply, I give up. If I get the feeling they might cancel at the last minute, I sometimes line up a backup. But if I already have plans with someone else the next day, I don’t go that far. There are plenty of other good girls, and more will come along later, so even if someone is somewhat attractive, I don’t intend to continue seeing her if she causes me stress.

I’m Flagmaker, a column writer. Just because someone contacts me frequently or responds quickly, I don’t assume it means, “She likes me.” Likewise, if her responses are slow, I don’t assume, “She dislikes me.” I simply date women I like, at their own pace. That’s all. ( ー`дー´)キリッ

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. If there’s a woman you enjoy seeing that much, then someone who only needs to send one reply— > Just to set the date and time —might actually be convenient, and even quite valuable. It sounds nice to have something to look forward to every month or two. I think someone who doesn’t contact you in between would be especially appreciated. (You don’t have to reply during the date, and even if she messages you, you don’t have to respond right away…) If I may share the fundamental belief behind my thinking: Thanks to all of you women, men can continue to feel that life is worth living. I’m simply grateful that two different kinds of life—men and women—exist in this world. So, women’s every emotion, and even last-minute cancellations, are all adorable to me (except for deceitful or underhanded behavior, of course).
