Japanese love clubs, teams and groups. So go out to your rec centre or University, explain that you're a gaijin foreign student and that you want to join some teams. You can meet guys this way. Girls like sports more like badminton or volleyball.<BR/><BR/>If you're not into sports, the Universities or Prefecture Halls usually run english classes - volunteer to teach them. You're in Tokyo, so I guess things might be a little different... The key is group activities!<BR/><BR/>Also - ask your coworkers to introduce you to their younger friends. You'd be surprised who you meet...<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I found it best to keep the "working" part of my life more of a secret until I got to know people. Just say you're doing kenshuu mitaina koto but that you're an exchange student... you're just there to practice nihongo right?<BR/><BR/>Ganbatte!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021839.post-1128877207420835702005-10-09T13:00:00.000-04:002005-10-09T13:00:00.000-04:00Ha ha ha.See Jason, you're looking for friends, wh...Ha ha ha.<BR/><BR/>See Jason, you're looking for friends, while the site is probably a "friends" matching service.<BR/><BR/>What about that university student social club thing that you found, maybe meet some people there.<BR/><BR/>Or any colleges/universities around you, they should have some cell groups or clubs etc that you probably can just pop in on, heh.<BR/><BR/>Just be slightly weary of the people you meet on sites like those, could be 40 year old men acting as 18 year old girls, muhahahahahaha.Ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850803540781330343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021839.post-1128748702336810852005-10-08T01:18:00.000-04:002005-10-08T01:18:00.000-04:00Heh, Meeting Stones still haven't picked up eh? :P...Heh, Meeting Stones still haven't picked up eh? :P<BR/><BR/>The site seemed normal, but now after searching for men and women, it seems to be that women outnumber men by a large margin.<BR/><BR/>What's funny is that a lot of them expect prompt replies, and they end up sending like 5-6 emails in a few hours. I think they use cell phones to send messages...<BR/><BR/>And lol, "come back Ally, come back Ally's sister!!"Jason Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737963277524695314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021839.post-1128729891451251012005-10-07T20:04:00.000-04:002005-10-07T20:04:00.000-04:00Whoa, Duy was here?!

I didn't know he still kept up with blogs? :P<BR/><BR/>Anyways, perhaps the site's name actually does mean something else than what you think it does. I dunno, the fact that you only got replies from girls kinda sends a signal to me. <BR/><BR/>And two girls sharing the same email address, heh, that reminds me of the old strongbad email...."come back Ally, come back Ally's sister!!"Theomnifishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087248827085317634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021839.post-1128715206352439852005-10-07T16:00:00.000-04:002005-10-07T16:00:00.000-04:00So is this why people don't use Meeting Stones?......So is this why people don't use Meeting Stones?... ;PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021839.post-1128701302626928482005-10-07T12:08:00.000-04:002005-10-07T12:08:00.000-04:00aww, you got offered sex from strange hot women an...aww, you got offered sex from strange hot women and you turned it down?<BR/><BR/>heh. hehe, that's funny.
