One of the most important things to know about dating Japanese women is that you are expected to be the decision-maker. Japanese women expect their man to make even the smallest decisions. When asking a Japanese girl out, be specific about the plans: the day of the week, the time, and the place where you want to bring her. Don't ask her if there's something she "feels like doing," a movie she wants to see, whether she's available next Friday, etc. She'll probably avoid giving an answer for fear of saying the wrong thing, and the conversation will go in circles.
