What surprises you when you started
dating a Japanese?
Anon, UK
Two month into a relationship, I agreed to go
"picking fruit" with my girlfriend
who said she knew a good place. When we arrived
at the farm she headed straight for the front
door where she proceeded to introduce me to
her parents, who seemed to be dressed up a little
too much to have been out in the field. Only
after being told they had been expecting me
and they sat expectantly round an exceptionally
well-laden dinner table did I realize I had
been the victim of a marriage plan. My subsequent
display of international diplomacy should have
bagged me a job at the embassy.

When I first went to a soba restaurant with
my boyfriend he started to make awful noise
eating soba. Everybody there was making so much
noise that I thought I should adapt to the Japanese
custom and made as mush noise as I could. I
made a pretty good noise. It was a lot of fun

Unfamiliar with Japanese girls gdating techniquesh,
I put my gdrunkenh date in to a taxi and gave
the driver her address, only to receive a phone
call an hour later from perfectly sober girl
saying I was gno use to anyone!h

Every time my girlfriend laughed, she put her
hand over her mouth. I thought she had a cavity
or something. It turned out that she had a piece
of seaweed between her teeth. I married her
after that.

On my first date with my now fiance, he asked
me to marry him. I had no plans to get married,
and didnft expect that our relationship would
last so I said that we could think about it
later. I wanted a few more month before I said
gyesh. Generally in Canada we date for a few
months or years before we think of marriage!

I have had many surprisesc Well, instead of
telling my stories, Ifd like to give a few comments
to Japanese men who want to have a good relationship
with a foreign woman. Never say gI love youh
on a first date. It was scary! Two weeks is
too long to wait before calling after a woman
gives you her number. And donft wait until late
in the evening to see what she is doing. Make
plans. She will be happier. There are some really
cool things about Japanese men thoughc They
usually try to look nice on a date and always
bring you presents, and you can probably wear
his clothes and may even want to!
