I’m a female member who recently joined.

I’ll answer this as Maezawa from the president’s office. Thank you for your question. If you can be direct, you could say something like: “I’m okay with it next time. I’d prefer to eat afterward, since I tend to get a bit bloated.” However, make sure to confirm the terms before anything happens that day. In that case, it might sound like: “I’m okay with it next time. I’d prefer to eat afterward, since I tend to get a bit bloated. I’m hoping for an allowance of 50,000 yen (← your desired amount). Would that be okay?” That said, I think more people find it difficult to say this directly, so a more common way to protect yourself might be to avoid eating too much. Still, many men may ask you from the very first meeting, even if it’s a B arrangement. So it might be a good idea to practice different scenarios, such as saying: “I’d like to decide after meeting at least twice—three times if possible.” Some men can apparently be quite persistent about asking ＞＜

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. Even if things eventually develop into an adult relationship (intimate), there’s no need to rush from the very first meeting. Let’s take things at a comfortable pace—with room in your heart, body, and wallet.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. From your question, are you referring to the first date, or the first time you have an adult relationship? Which one do you mean? If you have a few dinner dates first and eventually become intimate, I could interpret “the first time” as meaning that you’d be completely full by then. But since you’re looking for various answers, I’ll answer based on that interpretation… There’s really no need to answer, though. From the second time onward, you’ll know how much she eats, you can order à la carte, and if you communicate well, you can also have dinner afterward instead. If you schedule the appointment for 4 p.m., or sometime between 2 and 3 p.m., the meal will probably come afterward.

Don’t eat until you’re completely full. If you tell them from the start that you prefer smaller meals, they probably won’t book something like a full-course French dinner, so that should be fine. But if you’re already worried about this from the very first meeting, you can go with C. Marika
