There is no such thing as “dating a Japanese girl” being impossible. In fact, many Japanese women today prefer foreigners over shy Japanese men. With cultural differences, it can be a bit more complicated to win the heart of a Japanese girl.

With that in mind, we wrote this article with some romantic phrases and pick-up lines, along with tips and suggestions for you to win over your loved one. Especially if you are a man trying to win over a Japanese girl.

Be confident and don’t be shy

Don’t make the same mistakes as Japanese men; many Japanese women think that shy Japanese men have difficulties expressing their feelings and fear a monotonous life without romantic proposals. For this reason, don’t be shy, be more confident!

Don’t be afraid to make direct proposals, send flowers, romantic letters are not out of fashion in Japan. Whenever you are on the phone, when hanging up, say “I love you,” don’t be ashamed to show affection and care.

We also have a guide that can help you win over a Japanese guy or win over a Japanese girl. Remember that guides are stereotypical means; you will have to use your own judgment because humans are different. Fortunately, the tips are indeed useful!

Use Japanese terms of endearment

There are many different words to express affection. But be careful not to use Western terms that may not please your beloved. Even 愛してる (aishiteru – I love you), some girls don’t like to hear it too soon; use alternatives like 大好きです (daisukidesu).

You can use the honorific -chan with your beloved, call her by her first name or a nickname; some girls like that. Some people, especially women, tend to call their loved ones Darling ダーリン (Dārin – dear) or ハニー (Hanī – honey).
