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

  1. I love this post! So interesting!! I had no idea that they don't have a "lady's first" rule in society. In America, yah, if a guy opens the car door for you, odds are he thinks of you as more than just a friend. Well, unless you are on a first date, then he is just doing it to be a gentleman. :)

  2. I'm glad you like my post :)
    Door opening is still kinda complicating manner for me, especially car door.
    I often ask myself "Should I wait until he open the car door for me, or not???"
    hahaha
