I’ve been seeing this man on a monthly arrangement for about a year. He told me that, because of the COVID situation and pressure from his family, meeting in August would be difficult.
We met in July, but August seemed unlikely. He said his family had stopped him from going out because of the pandemic, so we had no choice but to cancel all of our planned dates.
He said he would try to make arrangements so that we could somehow meet in August. However, he eventually told me, “I’m sorry, but I can’t meet in August either.” He didn’t mention anything about money at the time.
Does this mean he’s trying to let things fade out naturally?
Until now, the men I had monthly arrangements with would transfer my allowance even in months when we couldn’t meet. If things are over with this man, I’ll lose that allowance starting next month, and my finances will become extremely difficult.
But there’s no way I can tell him that...
We still exchange emails every day—he doesn’t use LINE, so we use Gmail—and he’s usually the one who contacts me. He says things like, “I want to see you soon,” and “Isn’t there any way we can meet?” But the whole issue would be solved if he simply decided to meet me in Tokyo. Of course, given the current situation, I can’t exactly say that. I feel helpless and miserable that all I can do is spend enjoyable time with him over email...
What do you think this man is thinking? (>_<)
Is it really just because he can’t meet due to COVID?
It would be sad if he had found another woman or simply gotten tired of me, but if that’s the case, I’d like to move on and look for someone else.

It doesn’t sound like your papa wants to end things.
Judging by how long you’ve been seeing each other and the frequency and content of your messages, it seems like you have a very good relationship.
However, you want to look for someone else because life would become difficult without an allowance, right?
Let’s think about why things become financially difficult without an allowance.
Then, first, try to work toward being able to support yourself independently.
It’s good to move on emotionally, but it’s also important to reflect on yourself.

The wording… I’m not very bright, so it took me a little while to understand.
He’s saying he can’t meet in August, right?
There’s no point struggling with it—it’s impossible.
Isn’t he trying to let things fade out naturally?
Even if you keep complaining about it here, you’re just wasting time.
Look for someone else.
And besides, the man didn’t say anything about meeting in Tokyo if he could, did he?
Don’t write it as though he did. Which is it?
Time keeps passing.
Now, hurry up and update your profile.

> Is it really that he can’t meet because of COVID?
I don’t know whether that’s true or not.
But whether it is or isn’t, the fact remains that you can’t meet.
And the longer you go without seeing each other, the more your feelings may gradually drift apart.
With that in mind, I think you should leave things as they are with this man and look for someone new. I don’t know whether you’re uncomfortable seeing multiple men at the same time, but relying on just one man can leave you feeling uncertain about the future, as it has this time.
So I think it would be better to always be seeing multiple men, so you won’t have to worry about your livelihood just because things end with one person.
> This could all be resolved if he would simply decide to meet in Tokyo.
Hmm? I can’t really understand what you mean without a little more background.
Does the man live in Tokyo, while you live outside the area, and have you usually been meeting in your area?
Is he unable to travel there but able to meet in Tokyo?
If so, it seems like the issue could be resolved if you told him, “I’ll come to Tokyo, so let’s meet.” Or are you saying that he has refused that as well?
This is all speculation, so I don’t know whether I’m understanding the situation correctly.
If going to Tokyo would solve the problem, then you should go. If that’s not possible, find someone new.

As in your question, both sides’ intentions can become complicated, so I avoid monthly arrangements.
No one can truly know what a complete stranger is feeling. This is just a guess, but August includes the Obon holidays, and it’s also summer vacation, so she may simply find it difficult to go out. In other words, I don’t think she’s trying to let things fade away naturally.
You mentioned that the man keeps messaging, “I want to see you soon. Is there any way we can meet?” Perhaps he’s hoping you’ll come to him.
