Such a silly thread I'm making here...
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone here knows much about what the Japanese consider "romantic" or traditional (but subtle) ways that would let on to them that you really care about them. Well, besides the obvious ways that I know as a guy who grew up in America.
There has been someone I absolutely adore for quite sometime, but never really knew how to say anything (I'm a complete idiot when it comes to this type of thing!), and mainly just been doing little things when I can, and giving little gives now and then. In the very tense (and really confusing) situation of just trying to see if she gives any signs that she feels the same way, but no luck, either that or I can't read any signs that she is giving back (which is very possible).
As you could have guessed from the thread, she is Japanese, so there is even more of a gap between cultures making it more difficult to know what to do and what to say.
My question is this. What are the typical "subtle romantic gestures" in Japan? Nothing to extreme of course! What would be the typical responses, or things to look for? I've attempted to look this up on the net and other areas of the forum, but all I find is odd links of dating services... not exactly the type of thing I'm looking for...
I really do care about this person, so I'm hoping to do something special, but not anything that might seem like I'm trying to trap them into a response or "buy them."
Thanks for any advice. Finding anything on romantic japanese traditions has proved much harder than I expected.
