How do you fall in love with someone??

Hi guys!
Sorry for the late update!
Christmas is coming 2 weeks later, and there are a lot of couples in everywhere!! Sooo jealous!!
How do you spend Christmas day and with who??
I think Western people spend with family and Asians, especially Japanese people spend with boy/girlfriend.



Though I gonna go to Taiwan to meet my Taiwanese friend in Christmas this year, I had a terrible memory in Christmas!! It happened last year!!
It's really like the lyric of "Last Christmas"!!




Last Christmas I gave wonderful and expensive present with my heart, but the very next moment he gave me a MisterDougnuts' schedule book(This can get for free)!! →





What do ya think??
Even though we are in the same Japanese culture, I got a big culture shock!!! Huge culture shock!! haha





This is not what I am gonna talk today. I gonna talk how people fall in love with someone or how people become a couple.




The other day, in my class, I found that there is big difference of that between cultures.


In Japanese culture, we get a phone number or e-mail address first to get to know the person you like.






But, this is totally different with American and European cultures!!








They talk with someone you like directly to ask go out!! I think this is related to the difference of communication style, because they are low-context language and we are high-context language. For that reason, we need to take long process to go out with someone but they don't.








I don't know which the better strategy is, but if a boy speak to me directly to go out I feel he is a playboy!haha

kono entry ha ippai omishiroi.

un, amerika de ha people are considered 'cowards' if they do not talk directly to the person they like.

I think Japanese or Western styles are both fine; I am more comfortable with Japanese style, I think, but in America a girl would maybe laugh at me. wwwww
