What Should You Wear on a First Date?


初めてのデートに何を着てゆくか?
What should you wear on a first date?

 
初めてのミーティングデートの際、何を着て出かけるか?ということは
女性にとってはとっても重要な点で夜も眠れないくらい悩む女性もいらっしゃいます。
Did you know that some women cannot even sleep the night before a date since they are worrying about what to wear? Likewise, how a man looks on a first date can be very important to a Japanese woman. Remember, first impressions count!

ところが、男性って、女性の外見にこだわる方が多いのに
ご自分の身だしなみに気を使わない方結構いらっしゃいます。
However, many men care about how a woman looks, however, some do not take the time to charm their date by dressing for the occasion themselves.


ずいぶん前になりますが
MJLのメンバーの方で、年商何十億もある大きな会社の社長さんが
日本人女性と初めて会うために来日された際にジーンズにディバックという姿で現れ
(まるで山登りにでも行くのですか?という感じです)
女性はかなりショックを受けたというフィードバックを受け取りました。
A few years ago, a wealthy President of a big corporation who was an MJL member showed up for a first date in jeans and a backpack. He looked as if he was ready to go hiking. His date was very disappointed.

アメリカ人男性のファッションは
日本人、特に東京に住む女性にとってはとてもカジュアルに感じるのです。
あなたが普段Tシャツに短パン+サンダルといった姿でいるとしても
初めてのデートの時は少しだけおしゃれに気を使ってみてください。
Tokyo women often get the impression that American men dress too casually. Even if you normally dress in Shorts + T shirt + Sandals, PLEASE at least, try to dress up on a first date so that you both feel special.  


タキシード姿で現れる必要は全くありませんが
清潔感のあるさわやかなビジネスマン風のファッションであれば
女性はあなたに好印象を残すこと間違いありません。
Of course you do not need to dress to kill or show up in a tux. As long as you show up in a clean cut business like fashion you will give a good impression to your date, making you both feel better. Good luck!

Wonderful Japanese Hospitality

Many of our male members visited Japan this summer to meet our female members. Before leaving for Japan, I often give recommendations to our male members who have never been to Japan on how to use public transportation from Narita airport to their hotel in Tokyo, how to get on a SHINKANSEN train, how to find a nice restaurant in Tokyo, and other travel tips in Japan. I will share many of those helpful tips on this blog in the future.

Most of our male members are surprised when I tell them,

“You do not have to pay a tip when you eat at a restaurant.”
“You do have to pay a tip when you use a taxi”

Amazingly, in contrast to most other western countries, there is no tipping custom in the Japanese culture. If you stay in Japan, you may feel that the quality of the Japanese people’s hospitality is high even though you do not pay tips for their services. Japanese hospitality is experienced in all facts of society. Many people feel that it is some of the best in the world, and it is FREE!

I am proud of the wonderful culture of hospitality in my home country. Most Japanese people care about people with compassion, and they are showing hospitality from the goodness of their hearts, not based upon making money, if you visit Japan to meet and date a Japanese woman, you may experience and better understand Japanese hospitality.
