What’s the latest time you can meet for an evening date?

Maezawa from the executive office here. Thank you for your question. As for dates after the second meeting, that’s entirely up to the two of you. As long as you discuss things properly, it should be possible to meet at, say, 11 p.m. and have a date without staying overnight. However, if you don’t make things clear in advance, misunderstandings can happen. Some people may assume that staying at a love hotel means paying the overnight rate, while others may prefer staying overnight because they don’t want to rush. One person may think it’s an overnight date while the other assumes they won’t be staying. > For example, can we have a date without staying overnight even if we meet at 7 p.m.? At 7 p.m., it would normally be understood that you’re not staying overnight. If someone intended to stay over at that hour without saying anything, they’d probably be seen as being unreasonable. So if nothing is mentioned, I think it’s safe to assume that you won’t be staying overnight.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. I’ve had arranged dates start at 8 or 9 p.m., too. As long as it ends around 10 p.m., I think a date can start at pretty much any time.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Since you’re asked to keep four hours free for a first date, that means it would run until 11 p.m., right? If the last train isn’t an issue, I think meeting at 7 p.m. would be fine. That said, these days, if you meet at 7, you have to consider the restaurant’s last order and closing time, so I’m not sure. Personally, I feel like meeting at 6 p.m. leaves fewer things to worry about.
