My experience dating a Japanese single mother

Lonely after three years single, he dated an older divorced Japanese mother online and booked a two-week Japan trip. Meeting her, he felt little attraction or compatibility, yet enjoyed family-like outings, playing with her nine-year-old daughter, and imagining fatherhood. After tearful airport departure and brief passport withholding, he returned to England; weeks later, he ended a relationship involving marriage-and-child discussions.

Loneliness initiated the romance, but weak attraction and compatibility outweighed the glimpse of family life.
