Question about my last exchange with a woman. I was introduced through this site to a woman I’ve been seeing under a monthly arrangement (it’s only been two months), and although I understand that money is important in a dating club, she is extremely—almost painfully obviously—fond of money, and continuing the arrangement has started to feel a little difficult for me.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. Thanks for your question. There’s probably no single right answer, but I feel that, as a matter of etiquette, you should pay at least one extra month’s allowance. In other words, if you want to end the arrangement this month, you would pay for both this month and next month. That said, if she’s “the kind of woman who very obviously loves money,” I get the feeling that paying only that much could still lead to trouble. As with anything, I think it’s best to first sound out how much would satisfy her.

It’s only been two months… So I’d say you made two mistakes: setting the monthly allowance incorrectly in the first place, and choosing a monthly arrangement at all. Since it’s only been two months, I think it would be fine to simply end things starting next month, but you’ll have to discuss it and decide together. Being honest is probably best. If she’s a woman who really loves money, making her think, “This guy doesn’t have any money,” might actually make it easier to part ways. Marika P.S. If the issue isn’t the amount of money, but rather that she’s simply a woman who really loves money, then you should have an honest conversation about that too.
