My Plans to Find A Girlfriend in Scotland are Failing...

After several weeks in Scotland, Tinder Gold produced one Japanese date; conversation went well, but a second date remains uncertain. Recognition from the Asian Onision videos caused a Tinder confrontation and suspected unmatches; Daniel fears his reputation permanently blocks English-speaking dating. His smaller Scottish apartment makes food affordable (£40 weekly, about £4 daily), but he may leave next week and await Japan reopening.

Relocation fails to solve dating; internet stigma and Japan’s closure renew his dependence on overseas relationships.
