Dating and finding love as an expat in Japan

Post new topic

Priscilla

Hello,

With cultural barriers and different dating norms, finding love as an expat abroad can be exciting and challenging at the same time.

Is it easy to meet other fellow single people in Japan?

How do you go about meeting people (through friends, online dating, apps, meetup groups)?

How safe is it to date in Japan?

How do you deal with cultural differences when dating?

What are certain dating etiquettes and rules when dating in Japan?

How do you deal with getting into a serious relationship if you know you might be leaving Japan?

Thank you for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

I recommend following Rachel and Jun on YouTube. I'm married to a Japanese national too, but he's half American as well, so my experience might be a little bit different.
