You encounter your partner at the place and time we set up
Sometimes an agent of the female subject would join for the introductory part. For the first date, you usually just have some coffee/tea to talk with your partner for about 1-3 hours. Within one day, both subjects express their intentions to continue dating with the counterpart on the day to their agents. Between both agents exchange subjectsf intentions.
If both parties intend seeing regularly, their relationship starts.
For Japanese gOMIAIh custom, if you do not stop communication with the partner for 3 months after the first date, you are regarded to commit on marring with the person.
