  The problem is coming to Japan wanting to date a Japanese woman rather than a good woman who happens to be Japanese. You need to find the right person no matter where you are.

  Of course the Argentinians are going to be holding the Argentinian flag through the interview 😂

  Even thought this topic is often used in interviews made in Japan, I&apos;m glad because the more people get interviewed the more opinions people get and get better understanding. I&apos;m sure finding people who are wiling to go in front of the camera isn&apos;t easy. Good job.

  Let me just say, huge respect to the foreigners who took the time to learn Japanese.

  It&apos;s interesting how the Indian guy mentioned that it&apos;s hard to get to the deeper part of conversations. That&apos;s kind of what happened in this interview. Everyone mentioned that cultural differences makes it hard to date. But no one got deeper it. No one gave examples of what kinds of differences come up that make dating Japanese difficult. That&apos;s what I was hoping to hear. It&apos;d be interesting to find out more about it.

  I agree with the point that the communication style generally used by Japanese people can make having an intimate relationship with them difficult for non-Japanese people. Not only is it less common for people here to talk about their feelings openly, there is also an assumption that we are able to ‘read’ the emotions or even wishes of our close friends or romantic partners. This can be frustrating for both parties involved. (Personal experience!)<br><br>That said, in most cases I’ve known where relationships didn’t work out, it actually had more to do with lack of language skill than anything cultural.<br><br>Well, I’ve been married to a Japanese woman for the last 15 years, so I guess I’m getting the hang of it! 😆

  I love what Indian man said about learning Japanese. It wasn&apos;t hard but it was fun learning that shows he was really in love with anime and Japanese culture.

  I&apos;m from India too. I see his perspective interesting. As Indians too mostly don&apos;t express their feelings soon. I like it. But dating is mostly depends on the people they are dating and their pace.

  Japan: the nail that sticks out gets hammered.<br>Argentinas: 7 years in walking around with full size Argentina flag. <br>😂 😂 😂 😆

  Their perspectives on dating help me understand why some mangaka write romantic relationships with indirect cues, poor communication, and slow buildup. I thought this way of dating was bad writing or unnecessary tension but it might be culturally common.
