It's Kind Of The Definition Of Date

This past Sunday, I went to Odaiba with the same young man I mentioned before. The Vibe in Japan is subtle, and though Odaiba has a reputation for being a "date spot," I wasn't ever sure whether or not I was on a date with him. Later, as we talked on the phone, I asked, "Were we on a date?" He said, "What do you mean?" I patiently explained the difference between going out with a boy who was a friend and going out on a date. He said, "Ohhhh. It was a date." I said, "How was I supposed to know that it was a date?" He began his patient explanation with, "I am a man. You are a woman. It was a date."

Ahhhh. Wakarimashita.

We are going again next Wednesday to Yokohama together. I think that might also be a date.
