The Ideal Japanese Date: Achievable for Foreign Ladies?
I never expected any of the traditional rules to apply to me.
In Japan, traditionally it takes 3 dates before the guy confesses to the girl and before the two become an official couple. As a foreigner, I never expected this rule to apply to me.
Let me tell you the story of an unbelievably breathtaking date that happened to me.
My one in a lifetime amazing Japanese date experience:
I had met a lovely guy at a meetup, and he was very interested in talking to me as I am French and he used to live in Cameroon and Morocco where he learned some French.
The second time we met, we went to a café in Shinjuku. We had tea and it was our first time seeing each other’s faces. (Always a bit mysterious with these masks around…) We chatted for a while, then went on for a walk and had vegan burgers. It was a nice day, not so much to talk about.
We kept on texting. He cared a lot about me but I couldn’t imagine how much until he asked me out again.
The THIRD time we met. He offered that we’d go to Asakusa area and visit the planetarium before going to SkyTree. I found that plan to be very cool and unusual.
