Hello, I am a Canadian guy in my 30s with a serious problem. My Japanese girlfriend wants to get married immediately but I think we are not ready because of many problems. I cannot understand her well. She makes me feel very confused.

I don’t know if she is a typical Japanese person. Maybe it is a cultural problem. I really need some advice from a Japanese woman that understands how Japanese women think. I want to understand if it’s a cultural problem.

Can anyone help me? I don’t know what to do. If possible I would like to explain on the phone or meet and explain in person and listen to your good advice. I live downtown in the West End. I’m sorry I’m using English but I can’t type in Japanese well.

I can speak and read Japanese, but not writing.

Please email stevie_tokyo@yahoo.com if you can help. Thank you!
