Hi, this is YUI🌸
I received a message from Ms. M (32 years old) at 11 PM on Sunday night.
"YUI, I've done something terrible."
"What's wrong?"
"I accidentally opened Instagram."
I met Ms. Tanaka (pseudonym, 35 years old) at Yoitoki.
He is sincere, calm, and always listens carefully to what M has to say on every date.
On the way home from our fifth date of the day
Mr. Tanaka stopped and said:
"I like you, M. I'd like you to be my girlfriend."
Ms. M answered, "Yes."
I went home and took a bath.
I opened my smartphone with a happy feeling.
I received a LINE message from Tanaka-san.
"Thank you for today. I was really happy."

I casually opened Instagram.
I was trying to check if I was following Tanaka's account.
I opened the profile.
Among my followers was a woman.
I somehow ended up clicking on that person's account.
There was a photo of me and Tanaka laughing together.
A post from 3 months ago.
Ms. M
smartphone
I put it down.
"I wish I hadn't seen it."
But I saw it.
Who could this be?
I told them the truth.
"I think the only option is to ask."
"But would they be put off if I asked something like that on our first date?"
"If someone is going to back out, it might actually be better to find out sooner rather than later."
the next day
Ms. M asked Mr. Tanaka.
"Who is the person you're pictured with on Instagram?"
Mr. Tanaka paused for a moment before answering.
"She's my ex-girlfriend. We broke up three months ago."
"When did you start Yoitoki?"
"It was about two weeks after we broke up."
I received a message from Ms. M.
"Isn't it a bit too soon to start looking for a spouse in two weeks?"
"I understand why you might feel it's too early."
But Ms. M, can I ask you one thing?
When Mr. Tanaka registered with Yoitoki
What did you write in your profile?
"Um..."
"It said, 'I'm looking for a serious relationship within a year, and ideally, I'd like to get married.'"
"The reason why Ms. Tanaka ended her previous relationship and started looking for a marriage partner early was..."
Maybe
Perhaps it's because I wanted to have a proper relationship with a decent person next time.
It's all up to M to decide."
after a while
I received a message from Ms. M.
"I'll try talking to them a bit more."
Two months later.
I received a message from Ms. M.
"We've entered into a serious relationship."
I thought that night when I opened Instagram was the worst.
I'm glad I was able to hear it properly.
In marriage hunting
Things that concern me
The question is whether you can establish a relationship where you can truly listen to each other from the very beginning.
Yoitoki
The system is designed so that when you register, you write down when you are thinking of getting married and what you value most.
From the first exchange
You can get a sense of what this person is thinking.
that's why
Ms. M had a reason to believe Mr. Tanaka's profile from the very beginning.
That's
I think this is one of the things that makes it a little different from typical apps.
