Hi everyone!
I really need your help. Recently I had to move to Shinjuku because of work related issues. Now, I’ve been living here for around 1 month as a permanent resident (stayed before during vacation). I just turned 21 and as it happened I got into contact with a really lovely Japanese lady. Now I finally found the courage to ask her out on a date! She lives in Yokohama, so we agreed to meet near Shinagawa station as it is close to both of us. The problem is, that I don’t know the area!
I have to work during the week so I only get to explore the city on weekends and have not been to Shinagawa prefecture yet :/
Also I do not know about dating norms here in Japan at all!
I’m originally German and from what I’ve heard dating culture is totally different.
So I need your help, like what is appropriate to do on a first date?
Also my main question is, as we decided to meet up after lunch, I want to take her to a cafe, however I do not know any good places and so far google has let me down with my search :/
Or would you even recommend to go to a cafe? Is it appropriate to assume she wants to get dinner together?
Like just help me out please 🙏
I really think she is stunning beautiful and I don’t want to mess it up!
