Cool The dating game! Futile western techniques.

Ok, fellow GP fans. It's time to throw you hat or shoe into ring. What do gaijin try to do in Japan, to attract or impress Japanese women that doesn't get you anywhere. The same technique may be effective in your home country but often flames out here in Japan.

My nomination is the infamous gaijin that is convinced that if he can get her email or mobile number, he has got a new friend or GF So he has a closet full of contacts but when he emails or calls, he gets no reply,blocked,too busy and excuses. Or the "I have a BF,we can just be friends." Game over!

I Act like me. They find it interesting. So I won't be anyone else. Some girls don't like how I act, most do, some think its ..futsu.

And there you have it...an honest answer. And you were able to do it in just 4 words! It usually takes you 20 or 30 paragraphs. Thank you for being so candid.

I like to act like someone who is very respected in the Japanese community then replicate their demeanor to the best of my ability.
