Some Japanese women believe they couldn’t get along with a guy who needs a different amount of space. A Japanese woman in her 20s shared her perspective: “I feel hesitant when a guy tells me, ‘I can go 3 months without talking to my girlfriend’ or ‘I need to talk to my girlfriend at least 10 times a day.’” It’s important to find out early in your interaction what kind of a relationship the other person wants.
