I went out with this japanese girl (been in america for 10 years or so) last night for the first time. I played it pretty cool and overall the date seemed pretty positive. But I pretty much did most of the talking. I did a pretty good job of asking her questions and keeping the focus off of me, but she didn't respond with the typical reciprocal questions about me or whatever. So basically whenever I wasn't initiating something, the convo kinda fell off, (not that it was necessarily akward though).
And I've also never experienced dating a girl who's first language isn't English. It's kinda weird. Like, most uses of sarcasm and other conversational and body language subtelties that a girl from your country/culture easily picks up on go completely past her. Some things I could take the time to explain to her, but some things cannot be explained, ya know? Not to mention I speak with a lot of slang on top of it.
So I'm not sure how to play the next date. I guess I shouldn't treat her too differently and apply most of the usual princibles, and the answer (or one of them) is probably seeing how she responds to kino. I'm still tryin to work that into my game and having a difficult time doing it in out of the blue type situations if that makes sense.
But it's tough to read girls sometimes anyway, much less when they speak english as a 2nd language and she's pretty shy on top of that. BUT she IS 5 years older than me (32, 27) and you would therefore think pretty experienced sexually.
I guess on paper I should just go out a couple more times and then afterwards take her back to my apt and put a move on her, but the question is has anyone in here been in this same situation have any advice??
