Introduction: The Courage to Take the First Step in the Dating Scene
In modern Japan's dating scene, smartphone swiping and short message exchanges have become the norm. However, many of these "superficial encounters" do not last long and fade away. Both men and women have a desire to meet someone they can truly trust, but in the midst of busy lives and an overwhelming number of choices, they often end up prioritizing efficiency and quantity.
For example, Kenichi in his 40s, who works in finance, spent a lot of time on dating apps amidst his busy daily life, but found that conversations stalled every time they met, leading to a lack of connection over a short period. On the other hand, Misaki, 29, who works in publishing, chose partners based solely on looks and the fun of conversation, neglecting to confirm shared values, only to realize after dates that "this person is not compatible for the future."
What is important here is to perceive the dating scene as a starting line for serious relationships and to intentionally understand both oneself and the partner, building trust. Yoitoki goes beyond superficial swiping culture and provides deep matching based on values, lifestyle, and emotional needs.

For Those Seeking New Encounters
1. Start by Knowing Yourself
Why Self-Understanding is Important
Self-understanding is the key to success in dating. If you adapt to your partner without knowing your own values, lifestyle, and desired relationship, the relationship will misalign in a short period. Especially in Japanese culture, where cautious and polite behavior is preferred, understanding your inner self and communicating it clearly is the first step towards gaining trust from the other person.
Practical Steps
- Clarify Your Values
For example: "Do you want to focus on hobbies during your days off?" "How do you view the balance between work and family?"
By clarifying this, you can naturally distinguish partners who fit you. - Reflect on Past Relationships
Organizing successful and failed experiences will reveal the type of relationships you truly value. - Understand Your Emotional Needs
By clarifying psychological desires such as "I want a sense of security" or "I want to deepen intimacy through conversation," you can accurately assess compatibility with your partner.
Case Studies
- Kenichi: In past relationships, prioritized "kindness," but it ended due to mismatched lifestyles. Yoitoki helped him analyze himself and set shared values and common weekend activities as priority conditions.
- Misaki: Had a tendency to choose based only on the enjoyment of conversation but recognized through AI questions that "matching stable life and family views" was important for her.
Key Point: Self-understanding lays the foundation for prioritizing "quality" over "efficiency" in partner selection.
2. Respect the Values of Others
Shared Values are the Key to Longevity
In Japan, values related to family views, work ethics, manners, and lifestyle rhythms directly impact relationship stability. Judging solely based on hobbies or appearance can lead to significant friction later on.
Practical Steps
- Enhance the Quality of Questions: "What is your ideal way to spend the weekend?" "How do you engage with family?"
- Empathize with the Partner's Answers: By affirming with "That's wonderful," trust can be built.
- Check Lifestyle Compatibility: Confirm work busyness and hobby priorities to avoid lifestyle mismatches.
Case Studies
- Kenichi confirmed not only hobbies and weekend activities but also family views and work values on the first date. As a result, the partner opened up, allowing natural conversation to confirm shared values.
- Misaki lightly asked about lifestyle and future views on the first meeting, helping to avoid unnecessary time.
- AI analyzes the partner's values in advance
- Visualizes the degree of alignment with your prioritized values
→ You can meet based on essential compatibility rather than superficial attraction.
3. Value Communication
Communication is the Foundation of Trust
In first meetings or online interactions, the quality of conversation determines the future of the relationship. Superficial greetings and short messages do not create trust.
Practical Steps
- Intentional Messaging: Send content based on the partner's values and interests
- Timing and Frequency: Interact without being excessive, observing the partner's reactions
- Be a Good Listener: Ask questions that draw out the partner's story rather than focusing on your own
Case Studies
- After the first date, Kenichi sent, "I had a great time today. What place would you like to go next?" The partner felt secure, leading to natural continuation of the conversation.
- Misaki asked not only about hobbies and work but also "What moved you recently?" enabling deeper conversations touching on values and emotions.
- AI provides conversation and question examples
- Supports natural and reassuring conversations even on first meetings
4. Provide a Comfortable Environment Even on First Meetings
A Sense of Security Determines Relationship Quality
First meetings come with tension and anxiety. Especially in Japan, where caution is valued, a safe and reassuring environment is essential for opening hearts.
Practical Steps
- Confirm Preliminary Information: Understand age, occupation, hobbies, values, etc.
- Meet in Public Places: Such as cafes or restaurants
- Share Preliminary Rules: Discuss the pace of conversation and timing for exchanging contact information
Case Studies
- Kenichi and the woman had their first date at a cafe. Since they had shared profile information in advance, natural conversation and a sense of security emerged.
- Misaki also had lunch with a verified man. The safe environment encouraged natural smiles and honest conversations.
- Thorough verification of identity and safety
- Provides recommended dating locations and etiquette guides
5. Provide Ongoing Support
To Build Long-Term Relationships
Dating is just the beginning. To nurture a relationship requires ongoing support and learning.
Practical Steps
- Reflect After Dates: Apply insights to future dates and conversations
- Communicate with the Partner: Regularly check for changes in values and hopes
- Set Goals: Share what kind of relationship you want to build at what stage
Case Studies
- Kenichi received advice from AI to "confirm values in the next conversation" and achieved deep understanding during the second date.
- Misaki executed "weekend dates that fit her lifestyle" based on AI's suggestion, successfully building a natural relationship.
