If your a American Woman living in Japan for a year how does dating work? I've heard a lot of stories from the male perspective but what about women. Is the 'going dutch' thing true? And what about sex? How are the rules different? BTW- I'm 5'7- Is that going to be a problem?

This is only hearsay, as I am a man living in Japan. I worked with an American woman who is now married to a Japanese man. She is 6'0", by the way. There are taller men in Japan. The thing is that American women are viewed as strong, and many Japanese men prefer shy women. It's not always true, though. Going Dutch is definitely true. Even though I have a girlfriend, we pay for our own meals separately. Sex is sex. Nothing really different. Difference in dating rules are that you don't get introduced to the parents unless the relationship is very serious. Meeting the parents can be a rather formal situation. Public displays of affection are frowned upon. Kissing in public is rarely done. It's a private thing. Holding hands and some hugging are common, though. That's about all I can think of.
