Take your time and tell her that you want to respect her feelings and culture and things will be fine. She is an individual first so while culture is a part of a person's whole it is not something to get real worked up about. That she is a tutor would suggest to me that she is her own person and enjoys innteracting with people and will help you over the bumps. |

So I just got back from dinner and a slight drive with my Japanese tutor. She is coming over tomorrow to watch movies. I kind of like her, but I have no idea if she just wants to be friends or likes me as well. She is Japanese and the cultural differences make it kind of difficult to tell. Not to mention that she is my tutor. Anyone ever had cultural difference issues when it comes to dating? Wait until you can fully speak her language and then you can ask her. Japanese women usually prefer black men as opposed to white men. Lol that is the first time I have ever heard that. I actually read that they really like white guys, so much so that in Japan it has become "fashionable". But this is not Japan. Either way, I don't think a race card should really matter that much, and I am not concerned with it. |

I did have some good friends that were stationed in Japan and they claimed that Japanese women seemed to sway more towards black men than white. Obivously, statistics don't always determine the outcome. It's pretty clear she likes you, or else I don't think she would be hanging around. |

communication and respect are the essential keys when dealing with cultural differences...they should not be taken lightly, but neither should it be seen as a barrier to a successful relationship...get to know this woman, and dont make any assumptions...

You are going to have to tell her how you feel. From the experiences of my brother, she may have no choice to dating you or not. Some of their families will not allow it outside of their race or culture so you will need to discuss it with her. And the family structure is more important in this culture, shaming the family is still a big deal for them. |

I dated a guy for 2 years who was Hindu (he still is, I'm assuming  ) and we couldn't have been any more different. I'm Catholic by the way. We tried not to let our religious differences get in the way during our relationship but it eventually did when he decided to break up with me. Continue spending time with her and see if she's feelin' you too. Hope it works out for you!

She has no religion at all and I am what I call a liberal Catholic lol. Yes, I know about the family thing in Japan but I think she plans to live in America so it would seem slightly unlikely she would meet a Japanese guy, but yes eventually we will probably have to talk. I think it is a bit too early for that though. I want to see how things progress in the upcoming weeks. (I think that if she is interested she might talk to her american girl friends and maybe they will explain how to show interest) |
