Let's talk about "Date" :)

Since there are many differences between American and Japanese style of date, I would talk about the differences little by little :)

Alright, this time, I'd like to talk about the manner of "Door Opening"
Sounds good to you??
Sounds interesting to me!! :D

K, here, in Japan, where I live, most of the time and most of the people open a door by themselves.

Yeah, I know, it's kinda uhhhhhmmmmm,,, kinda sucks sometimes :P
If you were go on a date with a Japanese guy in Japan, he might not open your car door. So you should open the door by yourself. Other wise, he just say to you "Why don't you get out of the car?" or something like that.
Only a few "gentlemen" will open doors for you ;)

You wanna say, "Holly cow!!!! what are you talking about!!???" to me??? hehehe
Hold your horse.

We Japanese don't have a manner of "Lady First".
I am serious.

This is a story of mine.
When I visited my family last year, I needed to go to an office.
I went to there.
When I was in front of a door, a guy came close to the same door.
Then what happened????
He totally didn't care about me, like I wasn't exist!!!!
He never opened the door for me.
Wasn't is sucks!!?????
I don't know, maybe he is a guy who is really selfish.
Anyways, if you visit Japan, you may see or in a same situation.

Well, when I was in Japan, my ex-boyfriend never open the car door for me.
Weird for you??? hahahaha Yay, welcome to a culture shock!!!!

So, when I went on a date in the U.S. I have to act carefully.
Cuz I didn't know about the dating manner.
Actually, most of the time I open the car door by myself :P
I think I moved quickly, so they couldn't open the car door.
Only one guy could open the car door for me. He is a Korean guy.
But except car door, every guys ,who I was date with, opened doors for me.
They are nicer than Japanese guys. hahahaha

Okay, I should tell you that Japanese guys are not sucks.
Some of them are very sweet, and treat you very well.
I just wanna say we don't have "Lady First" in our culture. So Japanese guys cannot treat you as same as American guys. But they will treat you different way. :)

In America, a man open a car door for a girl? even they are just a friend????
Or opening a car door can be a measure of how a guy think about a girl???
(hmmmm I mean if a guy open a car door for a girl, he think she is not just a friend for him????)


Alright, that's all for today.
Have a wonderful day :D

Talking about dating :)

I've been busy lately, so I couldn't up date the blog.
But I'm here!!!! Finally :D

Okay, this time, I will talking about dating.

Well, it is not easy topic.... Hmmmm,,,,,
First, I think I should discuss about the differences between American and Japanese dating style.

OkiDoki.
America and Japan have a lot of differences on their culture.
So, dating style is also different.
In America, "Date" means a man and a woman go to somewhere (or do something together) to get to know each other. Looking for boyfriend / girlfriend. (maybe husband/wife)
Is it right?
On the other hand, "date" means in Japan is that, a couple go to somewhere(or do something) to spend time with their boyfriend/girlfriend.

I think the meaning of "date" or the style of "date" has been changing recently in Japan.
But usually if you want to date with a girl/boy, you should be her/his boyfriend/girlfriend before you go out with her/him.

You might ask me a question "How Japanese people get to know each other before they go out with somebody?"
Well, people hang out with a girl/boy as friends. Sometimes just two of them, sometimes with friends.
or nowadays, people get to know each other on line :P

I like American dating style.
Cuz we can get to know different people.
But it is kinda complicating. Because It is hard to identify if he asking me to go on a date with him or just friendly offer....... you know
Now, I wanna ask you that "How people identify date and hang out?"
hahaha, but seriously it is really hard to identify.

Anyways, this is a one of difference between American and Japanese dating style :)

Well, this is all for today (cuz I need to get some sleep :P ), but I will talk other differences later.
