- A Japanese reporter, Asami, tried online dating and matched with a monk named B-san.
- B-san, like other monks in Japan, is permitted to date and use dating apps, but his lifestyle requires significant commitment.
- After dating and ultimately parting ways amicably, Asami concluded that online dating isn't suitable for her as it focuses on long-term compatibility too early in the process.

A: Did you hear about Asami’s dating app adventure?

B: No! What happened?

A: Apparently, she tried online dating! She usually dates coworkers, but it wasn't working out lately.

B: Really? Who did she meet?

A: This guy, B-san. It was a little weird, because he didn's list his job on his profile!

B: Wow! What was he doing?

A: Turns out, he’s a monk! It’s a thing in Japan, monks can date!

B: Seriously? That’s so interesting!

A: Yeah! He wasn't trying to convert anyone, just a normal guy. He’s just very polite, always saying things like "Thank you for your meaningful time today!"

B: Haha! So, did they hit it off?

A: They went out a few times! Yakiniku and Thai food were their favorites. He was a picky eater!

B: Cute! But did they become a couple?

A: Nope! They parted ways amicably. It just wasn't meant to be. She liked him, but it would have been too hard to fit his lifestyle.

B: Makes sense. Monks have busy lives, right?

A: Exactly! She realized online dating isn’t for her. She prefers meeting people organically, at work where she can see their true character.

B: So, back to the office romances for Asami, huh?
