Using Japanese Pick Up Lines

Firstly, a quick look into dating in Japan.

Here are some rules, and when you should and should not use these Japanese pick up lines.

• Dating in Japan is probably slower than you’re used to. Try to accept this and embrace a new way of doing things.
• Go easy on the PDAs. A Japanese person may not even want to hold your hand in public.
• Get to know your crush first! Before you make the confession…
• Be confident.
• Be mindful of personal space and don’t rush things.
• Be mindful of politeness levels in Japanese. Don’t go full-out formal, but don’t be too polite too quickly, either. Follow their lead. Make sure to use correct names (i.e. add ‘san’ to their name) and use correct verb endings etc. If you don’t know them too well, use forms ます・です・さん (masu, desu, san).

One of the most important things when using Japanese pick up lines is to know

1. Your audience

2. The meaning, and IMPLIED meaning of the pick up line

What is meant by that is the strength of the pick up line, and the reaction – or offence – it might cause.

So we’ve put together a list of Japanese pick up lines for you that ranges from the sweet to the saucy to the… something you should never say in any language.

It also ranges from Japanese language novice to Japanese language expert, with some English ones thrown in there too! So you can choose your show-off level.

Let’s go!

* There are three levels of “love” in Japanese. すきです (sukidesu) can mean like or love. だいすきです (daisukidesu) is closer to “love” but still literally means “like” or “like a lot”.

It can however be interpreted as ‘love’, just as sukidesu can too, but a slightly higher degree than sukidesu and slightly lower than this next one… あいしてる (aishiteru) which means “I love you” and uses the verb “to love” in Japanese.

It’s pretty deep and intense.

In most anime and films you’ll hear of characters using ‘すきです’ or some form of it to express their love.
