I went on my seventh date with a professional who is four years older than me and replied immediately after I asked him out. He is a high-spec graduate of an old imperial university and co-owns an office.

He said that he had been avoiding my date invitations for the past two months, so he thought that I hated him. He said that when I asked him out, it was the happiest day of the year. Cute.

I've been confessed to by him many times before, but I've been putting off my answer. I'm sure he'll confess to me again today, but I don't know how to respond... I'm meeting him without having a clear idea.

After eating a variety of dishes and nigiri at his favorite sushi restaurant in Roppongi, we went to a bar in a nearby hotel.

When the second drink was running low, he confessed to me. As expected, he would usually avoid me, but today he's going to take me seriously.

When I told him that I couldn't have a proper relationship with someone who was just looking for fun, he said that of course he wanted to be serious.

When I told him that I don't like people who can't make decisions, he said that he's almost 40 and wants to settle down as soon as possible.

Shigyo-san is more sincere than I thought, and somehow I feel happy. It's not a thrilling feeling, but it's good to marry someone you can trust.

I told Shigyo-san that I can come over to his house now.

Shigyo-san's house is an apartment near a big park. It's my first time there.

He made whiskey in a Baccarat rock glass, so we sat on the sofa by the window in the spacious living room and continued drinking. He put his arm around my shoulder, so I leaned my head on his shoulder. After a while, Shigyo-san confessed his love to me again. I don't remember what I said to say yes because I must have drunk too much.

We stayed over, but I had brought the sleepover kit with me, so I was a very feminine person.
