I’m the one who posted earlier about being asked for a ¥60,000 bag. Thank you for your prompt feedback.

Since it seems I can’t reply to the comments, I’m starting a new topic.
Regarding Mr. Maezawa’s answer, I kept things vague because I thought it might be better not to go into too much detail, but in reality, I clearly told her at our first meeting, “Twice a month or so, and around ¥100,000 is fine.”
So I wasn’t making some grand, vague promise—I stated the terms explicitly.
By the way, she said something like, “My birthday is coming up,” so I thought, well, maybe she’s that kind of girl. Perhaps it’s her birthday all year round.
Overall, I thought she was a pretty savvy girl, but when we exchanged contact information, she mentioned KakaoTalk, so I’m guessing she’s quite experienced!
Also, her profile had been deleted the day after she met me.
Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here, weighing in as well.
So you had clearly stated ¥100,000.
Looking at it another way, if you had bought it for her, there’s a chance that would have been the end of things anyway, so perhaps it was good that you let it slide.
That said, if she was a woman you really liked, I don’t think a bag costing around ¥60,000 would have been enough to affect your calculations—not if you’re someone who offers a ¥100,000 allowance, anyway, since I mean anything costing less than the allowance.
You could also have said, “I’ll buy it for you next time,” and used that to manage the relationship.
Ultimately, what would have been best depends on how much you couldn’t get her out of your mind.

It sounds like you made the right call.
When someone tells me they want a present, my feelings immediately cool off, so I generally choose to end things there.
I once had someone ask to meet at a department store’s handbag section for our second date, and I ended things with him too.
Just chalk it up to bad luck and move on to the next offer! There are some genuinely nice women among the female members.
I hope you find a great match.

Profile deleted!
That was quick.
So she’s one of those “itadaki girls” who goes, “Tsk!” when she doesn’t get what she wants?
Good for you, questioner.
You should definitely report her to the club~

I also answered the previous question, but KakaoTalk is just too professional for this kind of thing. You definitely made the right call by saying goodbye. It’s a good thing they didn’t try to hit you up for money.

Ayase Nana here ♡
Pro… Buying designer brands, I thought you were some kind of monster lol.
I didn’t know KakaoTalk was still around.
I’m glad you did the right thing. Please let the staff know.

I’m in Seattle.
So you were a pro at this. Using KakaoTalk instead of LINE shows you know how to keep things separate.
It didn’t work out at 50,000 yen per pay-per-meeting, so you both moved on.
