Thanks VP
No luck with the really hot ones yet. Have done number of day approaches around Shinjuku and Shibuya stations but most of the time just got blanked, in a similar way as the majority of those Japanese nampa dudes get blanked. Have tried opening in both English and Japanese but no real difference.
Got one very hot girl's Line ID. Tried to set up a meet but between her poor English and my poor Japanese things fizzled out. My opener consisted of asking her (in Japanese) where the nearest Donki (chain of department stores) was.
My Japanese is definitely improving but nowhere near the level where I can have a normal conversation and convey everything I want to say.
These are the hardest stations to crack. I recommend trying other stations (Tamachi, Roppongi, Ueno, etc. ) I've been there before - talking to a stone wall for nearly 10 mins before she cracked a smile and opened up. These girls get hit on all the time so sometimes you have to be creative and persistent as hell. Welcome to Tokyo street game !
If I remember right, the Kinokuniya in Shinjuku (South Exit) has a large English book section. Chatting up girls looking at the English books might be worth trying sometimes.
