Want to know the inns and outs of dating women around the world?

[Jmask]

I can relate to this. I asked a Japanese girl out once and she asked if she could invite her friend. So I had to scramble to find someone to go with me. LOL. It all turned out okay in the end since we got married and have two kids.

Me, a Japanese watching this right after eating a bowl of rice with an egg and natto: oh man this is so Nani!!?

[Kiwi]

Okay, I feel like most guys wouldn't insist on a hike if they saw the girl they're going on a date with, wearing a dress. But hey, what do I know

[pidouble]

2:46 I wouldn’t like that spontaneous change of plans either.

What I got from this is Japanese women are naturally adorable.

[テイラーサム]

Kinda weird that this video didn't spell it out directly, but in Japanese culture public displays of affection is frowned upon, especially kissing, which is almost never done. Also, the _kokuhaku_ (confession of romantic feelings) is an important concept in Japanese dating culture. In my experience, physical intimacy usually comes after the _kokuhaku_ so that both parties know explicitly that they are dating. Avoiding uncertainty and awkward misunderstandings is highly valued in Japanese culture.

That slow-mo on the kiss was hilarious! Her change of expression was priceless.

I'm Japanese woman. I had been waiting for this!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻

[shreya]

I'd be super mad if someone changes plans abruptly, it is rude asf.

[shamerzaihan]

You know you’re dating a japanese woman when there is subtitles

[DatingBeyondBorders]

Hey everyone! Finally the Covid situation in Canada has improved and as we go to Stage 3 we figured it was a good window of time to go back to our favourite series. Hope you enjoyed!

[seanmartyn]

How does someone go from pancakes to a hike in the spirit or being “spontaneous”? Any person in their right mind would be pissed lol

[gallaxian]

Japanese women find it difficult to turn down men who ask them out of a date - perhaps especially foreign men - so you'll have to observe them carefully to determine if they are genuinely interested in you. For the same reason, even if she agrees to go out on a date, it's not necessarily a sign that she has a romantic interest in you. That said Japanese women don't have the same notion of casual dating that is prevalent in the West, so they will probably be taking any dates after your first pretty seriously. So, understanding this, foreign guys should also take them seriously. As a Western male, I was repeatedly surprised at how rapidly Japanese women's conception of the seriousness of our relationship progressed.

As a Japanese woman, I’m having so much fun reading the comments😂😂

[Gytu]

Love the internal monologue during their spontaneous date. it really shows the cultural difference in communication between Asia and non-Asian people. Whereas, Asians tend to withdraw their feelings, non-Asians will wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Oh my god, I just recently found this channel and it's my favourite rabbithole. I start with one video, and now it's 3 AM and I could still go on and on. Thank you for this amazing content!

[LeChristianDiaz]

Married a Japanese woman. The raw egg and rice is so true. Luckily she doesn't like Natto!

[cogno]

Last time I spoke with 3 foreigners living in Japan they just gave me 1 funny tip. If a girl proposes or more or less insists on going to karaoke with you... If you into her, doesn't matter if you like singing or not, you say: YES!

Supposedly, karaoke bars at not just for singing.

[annadiezz]

Not related but I LOVED the japanese girl's outfits!! That pink dress is DIVINE 😍😍😍
