We met on Tinder like a few months ago and traded contact info on some other accounts, but didn't talk much after that. She was 19 when we matched, so it's not like we could've gone out for drinks or anything anyways. I guess she just turned 20 (legal drinking age in Japan) in October though, and "randomly" came to my town for the weekend yesterday. She texted me to ask if I had any good recommendations for bars in the area, so I started listing a few before asking what she was doing in the area, and when she said she came by herself I took the hint and asked if she wanted me to show her around the city. She seemed really excited about this, so we met up and hung out for the night.
The first place I took her to was this bar called "Karma" which primarily serves American military. It's got a really cool atmosphere; dark, neon lights, psychedelic art, hookahs, eclectic music, and is usually tended by a young half-Japanese half-American guy and a middle-aged Japanese woman with really high English ability. It was pretty full of USAF and JSDF with their dates, and the norm there was very much bilingualism. I asked her in Japanese if she liked sweet or bitter stuff, and she said sweet, so then I turned to the half-Japanese guy and asked him in English if he could mix us something sweet in the hookah (it's just like a flavoured vape - there's no fun stuff in it), and this girl thought this was the coolest thing ever. Apparently she really loves how English sounds and she'd never gone out with a foreigner before last night, so this was like, a lot for her. I can't remember the last time I saw someone having that much fun lol
We got along pretty well, went to karaoke as well as three different bars, and eventually ran into one of my coworkers who joined us for part of the night. It was a lot of fun. It seemed a little like she wanted me to come back to her hotel with her, but I felt weird about that given how drunk we were and how that was our first time hanging out. She was very sweet and fun (I suspect her to maybe be SEI or ESE), and I'd definitely go out with her again, but my only reservation is that she seems to just wanna have fun and is enamored with the idea of having a foreign boyfriend. Nothing wrong with that at all, but as much fun as I had, I'm not really looking to be someone's gaijin toy and Instagram model (she posted nine videos of me to her stories)
I'll let y'all know how it goes if we hang out again. She's very cute and a lot of fun to be around, but I don't feel super confident that she's into me for reasons other than what I am. All she talked about was how great it is that I'm a white American English teacher who can speak Japanese well. Felt a little shallow, but she's also still in college, so I'm not sure what I expected
