In today’s installment, let’s envision a conversation between you and Mr/Ms Sexy at a bar in Shinjuku’s Nichome...

You: Hey!
Mr/Ms Sexy: Hey!
You: I like your... (shirt, shoes, dress, style, anything you choose. This is an easy way to start a conversation.)
You: So... How are you, tonight?
Mr/Ms Sexy: Good. You?
You: Great.

You: Can I buy you a drink?
(Note: This is a nice thing to do--and if they say "no" then they probably aren't interested. If they say "yes" they still might not be interested but you at least nab the right to talk to them a little more!)
Mr/Ms Sexy: Sure, thanks.

(30 minutes of conversation, and a few drinks, later...)

You: So... Can I ask you a personal question?
Mr/Ms Sexy: Um... Okay.
You: What are you looking for..?
(Note: This is a useful question. Maybe they are just looking for someone to talk to, or maybe they ARE single and looking for a cute boy/girl, like you...)

Once you know what Mr/Ms Sexy is looking for, then comes the difficult part. If you think Mr/Ms Sexy wants to get together with you, you can ask, "What are you into?" If it's obvious that Mr/Ms Sexy doesn't like you, don't ask. If you do, it just sounds... dirty and a little desperate. Get it? Western queers and Japanese queers are similar in many ways, but this is one of the little differences.

If you can remember what I've told you here today, maybe you can get lucky next time you go out and find Mr/Ms Right--or at least Mr/Ms One Night.
I hope you do.

Feel free to thank me for your new, sexy boyfriend/girlfriend by sending me money and chocolates and the addresses of sexy boys for me to love.

Bye for now, you beautiful boys and girls!
