I have a curfew, so I can’t go on trips.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here. > I have a curfew, so I can’t go on trips. Is that really the only option? I take this to mean you’re asking what you can do in this situation. If you have a curfew, we’re talking about a trip of at least one overnight stay, right? A: If it’s a day trip: 1. Get back before your curfew. 2. Go past your curfew and try coming up with an excuse. Those seem like possible options. B: If it involves staying overnight: 1. Explain that you have a curfew and can’t go on an overnight trip. 2. Tell your parents—or whoever it is—that you have to go for work, or that you’re traveling with female friends, and get their permission. That’s probably what it comes down to. As others have said, though, “convincing” them… You can’t really convince them to let you travel with a man. Unless it’s someone you’re engaged to, that is. So I think the usual approach is to arrange a proper alibi—ask friends to help, for example—and say you’re traveling with women in order to get permission.

I’m Nana Ayase♡ How old are you? If you’re working, you could say it’s for training or maybe a business trip. If you’re in college, wouldn’t saying it’s for a seminar or that you’re going out with friends work? Still, it’s probably best to have some photos as proof that you were with friends.

Are young women these days being brutally honest, or are they just stupid? Do you really think any parent would say, “Sure, go ahead,” when an older man from a dating club invites their daughter on a trip? Especially in families where she still has a curfew at 18 or 19. This is something young women in every generation have gone through. The only difference is whether the person they’re going away with is a boyfriend around their own age or an older gentleman from a dating club. They all come up with some excuse or another—saying they’re traveling with friends, going on a seminar retreat, or attending a club camp—and go anyway. Even if parents suspect it’s a boyfriend, if their daughter says outright that she’s staying overnight with him, they have no choice but to object. Try putting yourself in the parents’ shoes. You’re lacking either imagination or intelligence. Marika

I’m Kazu, a male member. I think you should just tell him you can’t go on trips because you have a curfew.
