I am fascinated by the Japanese dating culture, how it seems to be different than the way Americans date. And, so I was reading online at a blog about a man who says he dated a lovely Japanese woman some years back. Their first date consisted of all the typical stereotype things you think a Japanese person would be interested in. He made the mistake to take her to a martial arts film and even sushi dinner afterward. Apparently he assumed this was what all Japanese women are into. When asked if she liked the date, she said yes. Though later, she confided she would have preferred something more creative in a movie. He concluded that when he asked open ended questions, he got much more open and candid responses from his date. But, when offered a yes/no type question, she always opted for the yes answer, even when that is not what was in her heart as apparently it's considered polite to say yes and agree, rather than to choose no to disagree. And, maybe this applies to Japanese males too, I'm not sure. Thought this tip about asking open ended questions might help others who are currently dating someone from Japan, how it might improve communication. |
