What it’s like dating in Japan

[ryanmurray]

“At least he wasted my time for 2 weeks and not 2 years” major major major facts right there

[GeoX_Boss]

She just explained why Japan's birth rate is declining 💀

[steveroses]

"At least he waisted my life for 2 weeks instead of two years!" - Priceless.

[stephenchen]

She described it very well. There’s a cultural barrier, they don’t tell you, but you can feel it.

The power behind "At least he wasted my time for 2 weeks and not 2 years"

[HyunAOP]

Shes got a good point. If two people like each other then theyll make it work

[mundoswrld]

Someone said in Japan “You can talk like them, eat with them, learn all their of their cultures traditions, but they will not accept you truly as one of them.”

Them Indian dudes would literally create a whole music video just for you 😂

[macmalan]

They probably see us foreigners as an experience and not relationship possibilities

[bikramhazarika]

She's an influencer. Born and raised in Assam❤

😂 "at least he wasted my time for two weeks and not two years"- so true

[ariban]

This is very true. 😅 I wasn't searching for a Japanese date but I agreed to some. They really don't go beyond the first or second. Precisely that time limit. It's like a free trial period. They're sweet and act super kind and insist on paying for everything and spending the whole day together. Then disappear, poof, gone.

Most Japanese men can't imagine themselves bringing a foreigner home to meet mom.
It's really that simple.

Takashii has the best tuned baddie finder in all of Japan.
Knowing my man he shot his shot with her, I'm sure he was like I'm very open right now 😂

[BKbucknut]

The Japanese seem like a very welcoming yet insular people.

[adamlone]

She really hit the nail on the head when she said "as foreigners, [they] don't really take us that seriously." I have worked for a couple of Japanese companies, and they're one of the most xenophobic cultures I've ever encountered. Not even in a malicious way; it's just so ingrained in them that they don't even realize when they're being condescending.

[Im_The_Slep]

Every Japanese guy has a plot they have to go through 😂

[AndrewB]

All these people think the language barrier is nothing important and can just be overcome by "really liking each other a lot" but it's not that simple. After working at an International Association over there and seeing case after case of foreigners with little to no Japanese and their Japanese spouse coming in for assistance in arbitration in a nasty divorce, anyone who goes into a relationship with someone they literally cannot talk to when they get into a fight, all I can say is, the relationships that last are built on a foundation of strong communication, and language ability is very very important in that.
Remember, kids. A puppy is not just for Christmas, and a marriage is not just for the few years it takes for you to get through the honeymoon period.

[kylegoyak]

She just doesnt realise yet that she is the MC of a romance anime. And she has to wait 12 episodes (or at least a year) just to get that first kiss

[nineveha]

I went on a date with an Indian man, he was asking me so many marriage oriented questions on that first date, including how many children I wanted. They are focused! I can see how that would be very different to a Japanese man.
