I’m struggling because I don’t know how to end things with my papa (a male supporter).

Maezawa from the CEO’s office will answer this one as well. Thank you for your question. > Would it be best to tell him, without giving a reason, that I can’t see him anymore? Generally speaking, that seems to be the best approach in Japan. After that, you can block him so you don’t have to read any further messages from him. I say “generally speaking” because there are also many men who want to know the reason, and I’m sure our staff hear about this kind of situation all the time. Personally, I’m also in favor of explaining the reason. By clearly telling him why, there’s a chance he’ll be more careful next time. Also, men tend to live in a world of logic, so without an explanation, they may continue feeling unsettled. That said, giving a reason could make him think poorly of you, which is why not explaining is generally considered the safest option. If you don’t mind being seen somewhat negatively, I think it would be fine to send him a reason. In this case, perhaps something like: “I really disliked the phone calls once or twice a week. You would ask things like whether I was seeing other men and whether I loved you, but we’re not at the stage where I can say I love you yet. Also, the thought of not wanting to use protection the next time we met scared me, and I really didn’t like it. I was happy that the allowance was generous, but more than money, I’d rather spend time with someone I genuinely enjoy being around. And when I started thinking that someday I might have to do it without protection, I realized I couldn’t go on.” Something along those lines, perhaps?

I’m in Seattle. Block his calls. To prevent anyone else from getting hurt, it’s best to explain why over LINE. Otherwise, double the allowance and continue the arrangement.

I’m Kazu, a male member, and I’m glad to see such a straightforward question. I’ve never had a woman initiate a breakup with me, so I can’t say from personal experience, but based on what I’ve read in anonymous question boxes, I think you have the following options: 1. Block him on LINE and reject his calls Since this supporter is being overly demanding—after only two dates, he expects to call you once or twice a week—this might be the best option. That said, blocking him could also lead to him persistently bothering you, which may become annoying. 2. Tell him you can’t see him anymore without giving a reason He’ll probably keep asking why. If that happens, you may end up having to explain the reason anyway. 3. Tell him why you don’t want to see him anymore I recommend option 3 over option 2, since option 2 will probably lead to this outcome eventually anyway. My reasoning is that if he expects to call you once or twice a week after only two dates, this papa (a male supporter) is probably very pushy, while you seem like someone who has trouble standing up to pressure. If he’s just going to keep pressing you for a reason and make you listen to a long string of excuses, I think it would be less stressful for you to explain the reason clearly and end things right away. You’ve only been on two dates—in other words, you’ve only received an allowance twice—so weekly calls are a burden. You should clearly tell him that you’re uncomfortable being asked to say you love him when you’ve only met twice, that it’s emotionally distressing when he masturbates during calls, and that unprotected sex is out of the question. It’s important to be clear, but be careful not to sound confrontational.

I’m Taro, a male member. If you’ve already made up your mind, blocking them on LINE and blocking their calls would probably be the least hassle. If you’re open to continuing under certain circumstances, it may be worth honestly telling them what you want them to improve and seeing how they respond. But judging from what you’ve written, I don’t get the feeling they’re likely to change.
