First date, done. Write honest feelings🌙

With someone I met in Yoitoki,

I met him for the first time.

I was too nervous,

I took a deep breath on the way to the store lol

When I met him,

With the atmosphere I felt in my profile,

He was calm and easy to talk to.

There was nothing special.

Eat a delicious lunch,

We talked for about two hours,

We said, "Let's go eat again," and broke up.

But somehow, the way home felt really good.

Like it went well.

Like you like it.

It's not like that.

I just feel like I've taken a step forward.

I'm glad I brushed myself up

It was a moment that seemed honest 🌸

It's just getting started, but

I'm starting to look forward to something from now on 🌿

... Read more初めてのデートは誰でも緊張するものですが、ヨイトキのような婚活アプリで知り合った相手と会う時は特にその気持ちが強くなります。私も実際に待ち合わせ場所に向かう途中、深呼吸をして気持ちを落ち着けることにしました。 デート中は特別なドラマティックな展開はなく、ランチを楽しみながら2時間ほどゆっくり話しました。話しやすい雰囲気の中で、相手の人柄がプロフィールから感じたまま穏やかで誠実な方だと確認できたことが何よりも嬉しかったです。 帰り道は、不思議と満たされた気持ちでいっぱいでした。好きになったとか、うまくいったという実感はまだありませんでしたが、“ちゃんと一歩進めた”という達成感に包まれていました。これは、自分自身の婚活における自己成長を感じられた瞬間でもあります。 婚活は時に焦りや不安に押しつぶされそうになりますが、こうした小さな前進を積み重ねることが大切です。自分を磨く努力が実を結び、素直に「よかった」と思える瞬間を何度も味わえる。初デートはその第一歩でした。 これからも自分らしさを大切にしながら、ゆっくりと相手と関係を築いていきたいと思います。同じように婚活中の方々にとっても、無理をせず自然体で過ごすことが、良い出会いにつながるヒントになるかもしれません。
