Nigger you better get that recommended Japanese GF if your boss is talking about it.

You could even get a promotion just by doing that, don't fucking lost it and stop being autistic and fuck that girl.
Watch lots of asian porn videos, especially amateur.

>>38224497
>Boss and colleague talking about hooking you up
Dude, just roll with it. If you sperg out and try to get out of it the consequences could splash over into your job.

>>38224637
Heh, it's not like I don't already do that. I'm plenty attracted to Asian girls, it's just that I'm fucked in the head and can't handle physical or emotional closeness.

>>38224660
I can't say at the moment, it hasn't been officially announced yet. They're not a huge company, more of a "behind the scenes" service provider that does merchandising, events, and other ancillary stuff for bigger clients/partners.

The US branch is brand new and I'm actually going to officially be the President of "______ USA," but my title will be symbolic and I'll just be following the real (Japanese) CEO's orders and doing day-to-day operations. As far as I know I'll only have one "subordinate" and it'll be a guy from the Japanese end who's moving over here. (Cool guy at least, actually an old friend who was the one who introduced me to the company, and a total westaboo into guns, cars, and /co/ stuff on top of being into anime/gaming.)

It seems like it'll be pretty damn cool, but this is my first time doing anything like this so I'm pretty nervous about it. (I'm very qualified for the position but have never done it for an international company.)

>>38224690
No, and in this case work/vacation means they're flying me out for like two weekends of work, three weeks apart, and the rest of the time is mine to do whatever and go wherever I want.

>>38224764
Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. Maybe this will be the motivation to try things I normally wouldn't, who knows?

I'm half-afraid I'm going to have a real-life anime character nosebleed and pass out if they introduce me to some cosplay QT, especially if it's one I've fapped to...

>>38225255
damn that sounds like a cool job anon
Can you speak Japanese, how'd you learn? What did you do before this job

>>38225323
I can speak "survival Japanese," but I'm nowhere near fluent. We have a translator on-call, but I need to get better at the language myself.

My background is kind of complicated, but my last job was at a motorsports shop doing everything that wasn't actually working on cars (customer service, operations, marketing and media, etc.) and before that I was a blog/magazine writer, also in the motorsports industry. On the anime side of things I've been going to cons for 17 years and used to volunteer with SPJA, the nonprofit that runs Anime Expo. (I worked on their now-defunct weekly webcast show and produced guest interviews during the con.)

Also, I hate to admit this on /r9k/ because I know it's REEEEEE-worthy, but the one GF I've ever had was a high-profile cosplayer (she was a nobody when we started dating and got "famous" over the years) and through the official cosplay stuff she did I worked with a lot of Anime industry people from both sides of the Pacific.

>>38225541
>gf was high profile cosplayer
wtf
POST PICS NAAAOOO

>>38225633
I wish I could, but I really really don't want to identify myself, especially because I could be in job trouble if people figure out I'm posting all this shit on 4chan. (And in the weeb community it's likely people who know me are reading this.)

Also I want to be able to talk honestly without it being traced back to HER - she was a giant manipulative abusive cheating cunt, and to be honest she's most of the reason I'm so fucked up when it comes to women now. I've never been a Chad, but my relationship with her is what turned me into this person who has panic attacks when I'm "with" women. I've dated ONE girl in the four years since my big breakup and I left pretty quickly because sex felt so awkward for me and having somebody cling to me was so oppressive.

>>38225255
>>38225541
>>38225888
You post too much information about yourself on 4chan. I know who you are, but I won't tell anons or anyone at your company.

>>38225960
Thanks. I do make sure to only post things that people who are reasonably close to me would be able to identify, so if you're real then you're on a pretty short list of people that I trust.

It's kind of a shitty situation though, and one where I can only really talk about things when I'm anonymous on here. I think I kind of understand how celebs feel. It's particularly bad when it comes to anything where my ex comes up, because that's a situation that involves so much fucking drama and disinformation. I hate to seem like I'm still salty about it, but, well, I guess I am to some degree, not by the breakup itself but by how fucked the fallout of it was.

Why are you posting all this shit lad. I think I could even figure out who you are based on my years of lurking and going to AX for over 10 years.

You're a big normie but I wish you luck. And Japanese gf is undoubtedly easier to get than an American roastie gf like you got before. Just stop worrying so much; you got a job and past gf experience. That's all you need.

>>38224637
N-word you are nothing more than a compliant bitch, stop acting tough, pushover.
Op, you owe your boss nothing. Boss ain't gonna be there for you when that bitch they picked for you gets prego. The truth is you should deal with that yourself. Coworkers are not the center of your life, they are only 6 hours a day with you. You will get low quality women if you let others pick them for you, and they will think you owe them for that.
Don't listen to the advice of that simp, you can only be your own man.

>>38226418
Calculated risk, I suppose. Nothing I've posted here is catastrophic even if somebody figures out who I am, which is unlikely if you're not friends with me IRL.

Anyway, it's not getting a GF that worries me, it's not wanting one - or, maybe a better thing to say is that I don't feel capable of having one - and yet having people try to push one on me, and having it mixed up with work at the same time. It's like when Chad tries to hook a robot up and laughs at him when he fails, only with high-stakes career stuff mixed in.

>>38226466
I gotcha there man. The issue here is that these guys are giving me a lot of responsibility, and I'm just scared that they're gonna see my lack of ability with women and think that it reflects on my professional ability as well. They need me to be confident and capable and if I'm a beta with women it might look bad.

>>38226513
>>38226556
These guys are Japanese. It's normal to be a workaholic there who ignores dating.

Just don't care and do good things for the company. It's stupid that you're taking "hey get gf u gaijin" bantz so seriously.

>>38226556
Think like a free man. Always keep another option. If you believe you are not going anywhere, then you hold there, and look for a new job. They are shit testing you to find your weakness. They will introduce you to a bitch and they will make their opinion of you based on how you behaved with her. The best action is to not conform. Learn to say No.

>>38226606
>>38226665
You guys might be right, in a way I hope you are.

It's just that I just spent a week with these guys while they were here for AX, and I feel like I have a pretty good read on the boss. I think they're genuinely going to try something, not just for the normal "bro" reasons but because I think my boss has ideas about marrying me into the Japanese industry for a permanent foothold overseas.

>>38225541
21.5 year old loser here. How do I achieve my dreams like you? I'm on the verge of losing my job as a janitor, but I have an interview at a call center next week. I'd love to do anything tangentially related to my media interests.

>>38227107
To be honest, I'm 31 and have been freaking out about work for the last two years, in which I had nothing but a few freelance gigs. This whole thing came out of the blue, through a very random contact (I was friends in community college with a Japanese exchange student, he introduced me to his friend, and that friend is the one who hooked me up) and I'm still in total disbelief.

When it comes to media stuff these days, the best bet is to hit up a shitload of mid- and low-tier blogs, anybody who can get you press passes, and then start networking with anybody and everybody you meet. You never know which business card exchange or facebook add will be your ticket. I'm not sure how different niches differ, but one nice thing about motorsports journalism is that everybody you meet will be a giant autistic nerd and is pretty easy to interact with.

I also recommend working a college newspaper if possible. It's kind of a dead end, but the big thing it teaches you is how to interact with strangers professionally, when they send you out to do "man on the street" interviews and stuff like that. I owe pretty much every bit of professional success in my life to my college paper forcing me to talk to strangers and making me learn how to put on a professional facade and read from a mental script and stuff like that. I'm still a mess when it comes to deeper personal interaction, but at least I can seem like a total normie when I'm on the job thanks to the boot camp that was newspaper work.

>>38227237
Speaking as a 33 year old loser who has panic attacks that prevent him from working or getting an education... I get how it feels. Maybe drill it into your head that Japanese girls are far more understanding than Western ones. It might even be true.

AX was fun this year I had a good time despite my anxiety.

>>38227286
Man, I know those feels so damn bad. For me it's, like, indecision and having too many "options" (ie. vague goals to pursue) that trigger the anxiety, if that makes sense? It's like the signal gets lost in the noise of all of the possible paths. That's where dating sucks too, there's so damn many women in the world and so many choices I could make in trying to date them that it paralyzes me. This whole thing has been pretty crazy but somehow it's tolerable, I guess because I have a somewhat clear goal and job responsibility.

As for the Japanese girls... I know this sounds douchey, but I'm not in a ton of doubt about my ability to get them. On top of anything else I've got the gimmick of being a white guy. It's a much more personal issue in play here, one of struggling with my own insecurities and my inability to trust or open up to anybody after a lifetime of being fucked with. I have a pretty low opinion of myself as a romantic/sexual partner and it really bites me in the ass when I try to do anything in that arena, like how can I be the confident guy women want when I have no confidence in myself in that arena? I throw away opportunities all the time, just through the thought process of "I'll just disappoint her."

Who knows though, maybe my awkwardness will come off as foreigner charm in Japan. Who knows?

>>38224497
Why don't you just ask her questions? You speak Japanese? Don't brag or be weird or try to impress. Just talk to her, ask her questions about herself, whatever.

>>38227581
My Japanese sucks.

Like I said before, though, it's not really a procedural issue, it's a personal one.

If it gets too stressful and you sperge out and loose your job. Stay in Japan. Go buy a rear wheel drive car with a front mounted engine of your liking and head too Ebisu theme park for cars located in Fukushima and drift your problems away. Nothing beats the ultimate escape from reality by utalizing the laws of physics to control an oversteer and transition from corner too corner sideways in a car. Better yet, its a bit of a drive from Ebisu but you can go and drive through the Akagi mountain pass and pretend you need to deliver Tofu like Takumi. Lonley Drivers - real racers don't need girlfriends

Either get lightly drunk or just act like you had confidence u absolute pathetic fag having no backbone to get a cute Japanese gf that's been waiting for u to rescue her from radiation island
