I was asked out for a drink earlier this week by a Japanese guy. It was very cute. I told him that I was flattered, but that my husband probably wouldn't appreciate it...
Because of the language barrier, I had to mumble something similar in Japanese, so it went something like this:
me: [私の夫。。。]
him: "OMG YOU'RE MARRIED?!"
me: *nod*
him: He got down on his knees!! "OMG I AM SO SORRY!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!! I'M SO SORRY!!" And he was serious!
But all's well that ends well...I told him it was ok, no harm done and we all laughed. I have never seen someone apologize so sincerely!! It was very gratitude-invoking...I felt like thanking him for apologizing. Is that weird? And a little amusing, too, but only because he took it well!
*~*~*~Dating Story #2~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Met a friend for lunch and Harajuku scouring today. We were on a mission: to locate and purchase the most ridiculous necklace I'd ever seen. I had seen a Japanese girl in my InterCom class wearing it - it read:
FUCKTHISYOU
ARESTUPIDIAM
OUTTAHERE
in bright, happy neon colors. The shit they sell here...Anywho, as she was waiting for me at the train station, a man approached her. She wasn't particularly interested, since all kinds of weirdos hang out at train stations, so she didn't bother taking off her headphones. But he started talking to her, even though she couldn't hear him. She tried to get her point across by ignoring him, but he persisted. Suddenly a massive wad of cash waved in front of her face. She said she got up from her seat right then and there and got the hell out of there. But not before stealing a backwards glance: it was a man in his mid- to late-60's!! What's more - she said this wasn't the first time that happened!!
And that is today's introduction to The Dating Habits of the Japanese Male. That really happened!! Hope you've enjoyed!
i just read a chapter in this book about personal safety and predicting violent behavior. the chapter was about how some predators are persistent and keep trying hoping to wear down the victim into giving them control of the situation. i hope she stays rock solid and doesn't give in. out persist that bastard!
