I have a guy—or rather, a papa (a male supporter)—whom I haven’t been able to meet for six months because of COVID.
This content is machine-translated.
I’m in Tokyo, and he lives outside the city, so we’re in a long-distance relationship.
We message each other on LINE every day, but honestly, I’m starting to wonder if it’s over.
How long should I wait?
I’m Paper Airplane, a male member.
If we’d been messaging on LINE for six months and I liked her, I’d probably send her an allowance or gifts. But if there’s none of that either, I don’t see the point of being in a club.
If it’s a long-term relationship with no allowance, then refraining from meeting during COVID might be understandable, though…

I’m in Seattle.
That person is simply treating you as someone to pass the time with on LINE.
You should naturally expect to get some LINE Pay money from them once in a while.
I don’t understand what there is to be afraid of about COVID.
P.S. Just some random thoughts.
Even with 905 cases in Osaka and 545 in Tokyo, the reason I don’t take COVID very seriously isn’t that I’m afraid—or not afraid—of the disease itself.
I honestly think people around their late 40s and older who have finished raising their children might as well die. I include myself in that. My daughter is 19 and already working. People with young children and younger people still have a purpose.
If the healthcare system collapses and a certain number of people die, I think that’s just unavoidable. I wear a mask, gargle, and do what I can, but if I still catch it and die, I won’t complain. No one would be troubled if I died. My daughter might even be thrilled to inherit my estate. If I were on the verge of dying, I’d give more than 10 million yen each to my current monthly supporters.
The variants may cause severe illness in somewhat younger people too, but if they die after staying out partying all night, that’s their own fault. I think shutting down so many businesses and causing a major recession to prevent that would create far greater problems.

I suppose you could wait until COVID-19 is under control, but I assume that’s not what you mean.
In that case, if you can’t meet for six months, it hardly feels right to keep calling him your papa (a male supporter).
That said, we don’t know what will happen going forward, so for now, I’d suggest staying in touch with your current papa while also looking for a new one.
There’s no state of emergency in place, and plenty of people are still dating while taking proper precautions.
If you’re currently on a break, it might be worth restarting.

Keeping up a daily LINE exchange for six months without ever meeting is pretty rare. Even in a normal relationship, that’s not easy to do.
If she needs an allowance, you could look for someone else, but since simply messaging her doesn’t take up much of your time, why not keep her as an option?

If your papa (a male supporter) is only someone to chat with and doesn’t give you an allowance, you’re better off looking for another papa who will. Once you find someone else, I imagine this arrangement will naturally fizzle out.

If you’re getting money through daily LINE messages, you might as well keep it going while looking for another papa (a generous, well-paying one).
If there’s no money involved, then it’s simply a matter of feelings. Once you start thinking, “Is this over?” that’s probably the right time to move on.
Times change, so it’s fine to keep moving forward yourself. People who can’t do that tend to age quickly. This applies even in your twenties—the race has already begun.
