Explanation:
Although I've never taken a look at how long it's been since we met (through a "de-ai" site?)...

There is a big difference in pronounciation between "kazoeta" and "nozoeta," while this is not the case with "nozoita."
Nozoita may also mean having a peek at a diary, etc.

De-ai site is a popular dating type service on keitai and the Internet, I believe. It is causing a social controversy.

I "stole" the ideas from mami, mkj, and the first respondent, because they did not offer an alternative. Is this okay?
