👩 Japanese woman in her early 30s, living in Asia, works in the mass media industry.
1⃣ Please tell us about what prompted you to start this journey and why you chose our company.
👩 At 31, I felt it was the right time to consider marriage, but living abroad made it difficult to find a relationship that could lead to marriage. After researching various matchmaking agencies and having consultations, Mr. Suzuki, who conducted a calm and easy-to-talk-with interview, made me feel at ease. I decided to join because I thought I could proceed with marriage activities safely here. Also, since I live abroad, I felt reassured knowing the agency had extensive experience supporting those who are matchmaking while living overseas.
2⃣ What are your thoughts and impressions after participating in the activities?
👩 Marriage matchmaking didn't always go smoothly, and there were tough times, but thanks to Mr. Phillips and Mr. Suzuki accompanying me, I was able to continue without giving up.
3⃣ What was your first impression when you met your partner?
👩 I was impressed by their elegance and how easy they were to talk to.
4⃣ Please tell us why you decided to marry your partner and share any anecdotes from your courtship.
👩 Since I lived abroad and my partner lived in Japan, we mainly conducted provisional courtship through online dates. During the second online date, when my partner proposed serious courtship, I initially hesitated saying it was too early and that we should meet in person first. Despite the considerable time and expense, they promptly took paid leave to visit me. Their immediate action and gentlemanly behavior convinced me of their seriousness, so I decided to proceed with serious courtship. Later, they proposed to me on my birthday. Seeing how they always took action for my sake and their gentlemanly manners, I felt that no one else would cherish me as much, so I accepted their proposal.
5⃣ What advice would you give to those who are about to start this journey?
👩 Initially, I felt so desperate that I thought I would die if I couldn't get married within a year of starting matchmaking. However, being rejected by someone I was provisionally courting made me realize that since I can only marry one person, it's futile to rush. From my own experience, I think it's important not to let anxiety cloud your judgment or convey impatience to your partner, making subsequent progress difficult. So, I suggest staying calm and approaching matchmaking with a clear head. However, in my case, although I recommend not rushing, I consciously increased the number of matchmaking proposals and took proactive steps, which I think was also effective. Experiencing various matchmaking meetings and provisional courtships helped me develop criteria for judging people I might not like. I'm grateful for that experience.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Wishing you all the happiness in the world!
