Reacting to a Subscriber’s First Date with a Japanese Man — Culture or Red Flag?
40:57
I’m responding to a subscriber who went on her first date with a Japanese man. Dating Japanese men can be confusing—was it culture, personality, or red flags? In this video, I break down a real viewer story: no small gift, no umbrella, awkward silence, no dinner invite—then a sudden “meet at a hotel.” I explain what’s typical in Japan (and what isn’t), first-date etiquette, and how to set boundaries without stereotyping all Japanese men.
