On our first date, after meeting at the station, he said the only nearby options were Gusto or KFC, so we went to Gusto for lunch.

The restaurant was full of families and students around our age, which made me self-conscious, and it was hard to have a relaxed conversation. If possible, I’d prefer a private-room restaurant or somewhere similar.
He seemed like a nice person from our conversation, but what do you think of a man who suggests a family restaurant or fast-food place for a first meeting? I’m wondering whether I should see him again.
It’s not about the price—you’re completely ignoring how women feel about meeting men in places like that, surrounded by people their own age and families.
I don’t think I could have a good relationship under those circumstances, so I wouldn’t go along with it.

I’m a male member who usually loses out.
Sometimes I deliberately choose places like that.
Whether she can genuinely enjoy herself even at a cheap restaurant is actually an important indicator of whether she’s worth giving a generous allowance to.
Unfortunately, women who are visibly dissatisfied are a definite pass for me.
Maybe I’m actually the person your partner was seeing, haha.
That said, in general, a papa who takes you to a family restaurant on the first date is usually assumed to offer a low allowance.

He probably doesn’t understand how dating clubs work, so I don’t think there’s any benefit to getting involved with him.
Come to think of it, I heard there’s a scene in an upcoming video where a woman cancels at the last minute in a similar situation. Then a staff member says, “Actually, that man earns tens of billions of yen.”
But that doesn’t happen in real life. Some men may go to ordinary restaurants, but I doubt they would do so for a first meeting.
In the end, you should think it over and decide for yourself—whether you’re okay with a less impressive place as long as the allowance is what you want, for example. (Though I suspect men who choose family restaurants also tend to offer a lower allowance.)

I’m Fuu, a column writer.
That can happen with a papa (a male supporter) you meet through an app or website.
But at a dating club, that wouldn’t happen.
In the end, I guess it depends on the allowance and how you feel about it.

I’m Dai, a male member.
I imagine some men find it difficult to look for a good restaurant with private rooms for two.
Even among club members, I don’t think there are that many men who regularly dine out at excellent restaurants.
There was also a question before about being taken to Marriott restaurants even though the food wasn’t particularly good.
When I first came to Nagoya, I didn’t know the area at all, so I struggled quite a bit with deciding where to eat on dates.
I gradually discovered more places, and now I have a few restaurants in my repertoire for dates, though…
I do think Universe Club could recommend a few private-room restaurants in each area that male members frequently use.

I’m in Seattle.
You just need to guide and educate them. Ask for a private room—or, if you don’t have the money, go straight to a hotel this time.
Of course, only if there’s something satisfying in it for you.
