A male member I met once told me, “I really like you, ○○!” He held my hand the whole time in the taxi and said, “I want to see you again. I’ll ask you out again.” But he didn’t even ask for my LINE, and we went our separate ways. It’s been about a week.

I’m Maezawa from the President’s Office, and I’ll answer this as well. There’s no point in making polite small talk, so perhaps he meant to contact you later but forgot to exchange LINE contacts with you. Or maybe he intended to call and invite you, but can no longer find your number in his call history? If you didn’t exchange LINE contacts, I think it’s fine to try calling him directly. Some people rarely respond to text messages, so calling is probably your best option.

I’m Kazu, a male member. A. He forgot to exchange contact information. B. He thought you seemed nice in the taxi, but something happened afterward. C. He talks that way to everyone, regardless of who they are. (Just being polite.) It’s probably one of these. Pick whichever reason you like best and assume that’s what happened. By the way, I’ve nearly forgotten to ask for someone’s LINE four or five times. Sometimes I only realized we hadn’t exchanged contacts when we were parting after being intimate, or when the woman asked, “Can I get your LINE?” I’ve never actually parted ways without asking for the LINE of someone I wanted to see again, but if that man is a little more absent-minded than I am, option A is possible.
