I’m the one who asked whether it would be okay to introduce my family to the restaurants where a gentleman has taken me for lunch!

I’m Taro, a male member. I think it’s perfectly fine to tell him directly. I’d be happy if it were me, and I’d feel like it brought us closer. I’d probably ask, partly because I’d be a little curious how you feel about it. I might also point out anything I thought you should be careful about. But if you’re personally fine with it, I don’t see a problem at all. If you want to build a good relationship, it’s nice to be able to talk about anything. But if it’s something so delicate that you’re unsure, keeping it to yourself is also an option. You don’t have to understand every single thing about each other. That said, I don’t think this particular issue is serious enough to worry so much about.

I’m Tetsu, a male member. I don’t see anything wrong with taking her to a good restaurant, but knowing how she came to find out about that place, I can’t help wondering how her father would feel if he knew the truth... It’s complicated.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer too. I brought a parent along without specifying that it was my father, and I think that’s perfectly fine. I don’t think it should feel awkward just because it’s your father. Maybe if it were your husband or child, you might feel a little awkward—but that seems to be about the extent of it.
