If the recovery period from my cosmetic surgery lasts longer than expected and I can’t hide it by the time of a date, do you think I should be honest and say I had facial bone surgery, or keep it to myself?

Maezawa from the President’s Office here. Thank you for your question. In that situation, I think it’s best to play it off by saying you accidentally bumped it or something along those lines. Some people may realize that you’ve had work done, but if you say you bumped it, most considerate men probably won’t press the issue. I think you only need to be honest if he directly asks, “That’s plastic surgery, isn’t it?” In that case, just answer honestly. By the way, I don’t recommend changing things for your first date, as it can leave a very bad impression on the staff. You could even lose points. And even if it doesn’t affect the staff’s impression, some men may not reschedule and might offer to meet another woman instead. You may think they’ll contact you later, but sometimes they never make another offer.

I’m Kazu, a male member. If it’s your first date, I think you should contact the club and ask to reschedule. In that case, it’s probably best to be honest with the club about the reason. If it’s your second date or later, you likely have a sense of what the man is like, so I think you should make your decision based on that.
