PJ#8: Miho, or An Hour's Notice
Most of the women on the app take a week to agree to a coffee. Miho took a message: I'm free in an hour if you're anywhere near Shinjuku.
PJ#7: Shiina and Saki, or Two Empty Chairs
Two of the best coffees I've had on the app ended the same way: a booked table, a chair nobody sat in, and a message that stayed unread.
PJ#6: Hina, or The First Yes
After Aya, Noa and Momone, I had some guidelines and rules, a much better first message, and no evidence that any of it worked. Hina was the evidence.
PJ#5: Momone, or The Sequel
I'd like to tell you I learned from Noa. I did. I learned slowly, which is a different thing.
PJ#3: Noa, or Three Dinners & Chocolate
Noa was twenty, worked in a bar, and was – I want to be precise about this – the kind of pretty that makes other people in the restaurant slightly worse at their jobs.
PJ#2: Aya – What I Did Wrong the First Time
Aya was the first woman I met on the app, and I approached the whole thing with the confidence of a man who has never done it and the knowledge of one who never will.
