About the woman I’ve been seeing every week for the past three months.

I’m Basil, a male member. To keep things from getting out of hand, I set a maximum allowance and don’t buy fashion items or accessories. I’m considering ending the relationship.

I’m Nana Ayase, a female member. Let’s quit before we get drained.

I’m Hikōki, a male member. It’s obvious she isn’t attracted to you… You should probably consider bowing out sooner rather than later.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. If it were me, I’d start by giving her a present. Then, if I thought, “This is ridiculous,” I’d break things off.

I’ll answer as Maezawa from the CEO’s office as well. “Recently, all of a sudden…” I feel there may be something behind those words. For example, perhaps she did something to meet your requests, but her allowance stayed the same, so she now feels that you should meet her requests too. Or maybe, after spending time with you, she got the impression that you might buy something for her if she asked. On the other hand, perhaps seeing you has started to feel burdensome, and she feels it’s not worth it unless you buy her something. When a woman says this, I often think it means she has some dissatisfaction with the current situation. If it happened “all of a sudden,” then something probably triggered it. Maybe she met someone more generous (well-paying) and realized that your allowance is low. > Should I consider ending things sooner rather than later? It may be a sign that she’s about to end things with you, so if you’d rather end it first, I think that’s fine. If the gift itself is no big deal and you can easily afford it, and you genuinely like her, then you could say: “I’ll buy it for your birthday.” “I’ll buy it for Christmas.” That might keep things limited to two gifts a year. First, think about whether she’s someone you genuinely want to continue seeing. I think the answer will become clearer from there.
