11 ways to meet foreigners/Japanese 5
BLOG

Hello everyone!
It's a pop-up topic.
Let's take a look at the universal, friends, love and dating treasure trove!
Beware of the difference in temperature between two people.
Foreigners are often over-the-top in their expressions of affection and also generally tend to be more excited than Japanese people.
Suppose that after the second time you meet, you say, ‘I love you! Let's go out!’ on the second meeting, even if you think it is a joke, there is a possibility that the other person really means it seriously. Or, if you say something that is socially expected, it is often taken as serious.
However, another country may say, ‘I love you! Let's go out!’ may just be a joke, so it is fundamentally important to try to understand each other's personality and culture.
Be aware of differences in the sense of love
The sense of love differs greatly from country to country.
For example, in some countries, if you are going out with someone, you almost always think of it as a marriage. If you go out with someone, you may become a ‘potential family member’ and be asked to give gifts to family members abroad, for example.
You might say, ‘Why do they give me gifts, but not my family?’ But in some countries, this is a natural feeling.
There are also differences between countries and cultures, such as when it is natural to spend Christmas with family, or when it is natural to split the cost of a date.
It is important to understand the differences in the sense of love and to be aware of how to approach each other.
Be careful not to be vague about the future
Even if you meet a foreigner in Japan, it is possible that he or she may think that he or she will naturally return to his or her home country in the future.
It is recommended that you discuss at the start of your relationship whether you intend to live in Japan permanently and what you think about education if you have children.
If your partner does not have an image of the future in mind, that's fine, but the problem is that you should not just imagine that this is what he or she intends to do.
It is important to have a proper exchange of words about your future together.
Be aware of language barriers when fighting.
In everyday life, even if you are not fluent in each other's language, you can enjoy each other's company and try to come to terms with each other as a matter of practice.
However, in emotional situations such as fights, you may not be able to convey your feelings to the other person correctly, which can lead to further problems.
For example, the word ‘aho’, which Osakaans say to each other, is a light joke, but to a foreigner who doesn't know you, it can be taken as a serious insult.
It is important to discuss even the smallest details and communicate with each other on a regular basis.
Positivity is important when meeting foreigners!
Looking at the episodes of encounters with foreigners reported in this survey, we felt that it is important to be proactive.
It seems that many people meet foreigners/Japanese as a result of taking action, such as using apps to find a partner, showing up at international events, travelling abroad, or going to study abroad.
On the other hand, the most likely place to expect a natural encounter would be work-related. Working for a global company is one way to do this.
Please start with what you can do and try to find a good meeting.
