interested in a Japanese and he is very conscious of
his English. I had called him to ask if he was available
to go to
Karoke this weekend with friends of mine and his.
Make it a group thing. He said he was off work Saturday,
but worked Sunday. He then asked if I worked Sunday. I
said I was off. He tried to tell me that he would ask
his
American friend to tell me because he did not speak
English well enough to say what he wanted to tell me
though he had tried. He apologized that his English was
bad and then we laughed. He told me he would
teach me Japanese and then I offered him to
teach English. I am not sure if he is going this
weekend, but I put the offer out there. Today I had his
friend email me with what my plans were today? I said I
was confused on what he was asking but had reiterated
what I told my
guy friend
on the
phone about Karoke. Not sure what to do next?
Probably nothing and wait. Let me know."
I
like his idea of
exchanging
language lessons because that is generally the best
way to get started with
dating in
Japan.
Japanese people can be very confusing and I think
you have done all you could to tell him that you are
interested, and at this point, just wait to see what
happens. Probably not a good idea to push further than
this. For all we know, maybe he is not interested beyond
language exchange or maybe he just is confused that this
can go anywhere due to the
language barrier. |
