I have a lot of random Japanese friends, some I’ve met through

here who won’t talk to me for weeks and then will reach out out of nowhere and will be like “hey are you free tomorrow?” Is this common in Japan? If someone doesn’t talk to me for a while, I don’t really consider them a friend and don’t want to hang out with them. If you wanna hang out, catch up with me, check in occasionally, see how I’m doing. Don’t just ask me to hang out now that you have free time and want to practice english, we aren’t friends lmao

  • Matt

    @kai ah yeah I don’t see them now haha

  • kai

    @Matt What I meant is if ur friend is tryna use u just for pics, dont hang out!

  • kai

    @Matt Ehhh noooo That's not what I mean! Sorry for my broken English!

  • Matt

    @kai 🙃 am I supposed to know who is using me for pics and people genuinely trying to make friends?

  • kai

    @Matt If you dont like it then dont go hang out with them. lmao It's easy😊

  • Matt

    @kai 😭😭😭😭😭

  • kai

    @Matt So I wouldnt be surprised haha

  • kai

    @Matt because white guys are freaking popular in Japan. I have seen my friends talking to them and take pics with them lol

  • Matt

    @kai apparently so? You’d be surprised how many people take my photo when I hang out with them 🤦‍♂️

  • kai

    @Matt Charging for your photos?? Are u a model or celebrity? haha White guys are so popular in Japan😂😂😂

  • Matt

    @kai I’m gonna start charging for English lessons/ photos 😂

  • Matt

    @kai oof, I think so too lmao

  • kai

    I'm pretty sure it's not common in Japan. Maybe they are not your real friends... Some of them maybe want to imrove their English skills or take a pic with u and post it on a instagram. Some of my friends do the same thing😥😥

  • Matt

    @Sally Cinnamon yeah Japanese!

  • Matt

    @ari thank you I hope so 😭😭

  • ari

    I totally agree with you! Some people are self centered sometimes. I hope you can find good friends in Japan! Don’t give up!

  • Sally Cinnamon

    @Matt Yeah sure,for actual friends😬 That's really sick😂You mean people here?Japanese???

  • Saki

    @Matt Exactly 😂 I hope you will find study buddy and also good friends on Hello talk!

  • Matt

    @Sally Cinnamon Actual friends though? Me and my real friends lose touch all the time and then we’ll occasionally message to catch up. It’s totally sincere though, not the same! I’m taking a spoke maybe 3 times met up once haven’t spoken in 6 months kinda vibe

  • Matt

    @Saki those people need to get on tinder, this isn’t the right app lmao

  • Sally Cinnamon

    Lol sick,I'm like that to my old friends tho😂

  • Yuka

    @Matt both. But some foreigner were same. And there are few rude person here sometimes

  • Motoki Fujii

    @Matt I totally understand. We can’t build any relationships without respect.

  • Saki

    I’m totally agree with your opinion Some people uses HelloTalk as a dating app 😅!!

  • Matt

    @Yuka with Japanese friends or Japanese learners? People are the worst 🤦‍♂️

  • Matt

    @TORA worth every penny!

  • Matt

    @Hikari shady! 😂

  • Yuka

    I have same experience with it !!

  • Matt

    @Motoki Fujii you hit the nail on the head! After all, we’re all human. If someone doesn’t uphold a mutual respect for someone then I don’t see why they should honor those people with their time. I know this app is for language exchange but that’s built on friendship and if someone doesn’t believe that, they should pay for an English teacher.

  • Hikari

    @Matt 6 months later, I will no longer remember you lol

  • Motoki Fujii

    I think you’re right. People who come here want to improve their language skills. But I don’t think Its polite to talk to you only when they just need you. Before doing that, we need to know each other and be friend.

  • TORA

    @Matt i love that🤣🤣🤣

  • Matt

    @TORA “Yeah I can do that, I usually charge 5000 for an hour of English teaching but for you I’ll only charge 10,000”

  • TORA

    @Matt and then they will tell you we are friend! so can i use friend discount? 😂

  • Matt

    @TORA next time they ask me I’ll tell them my day rate 😂😂😂

  • Matt

    @TORA sounds like I need to start getting paid for appearances

  • Matt

    @ブルー having a mutual agreement to be language exchange partners is cool but when you consider people a “friend” only wanting to hang out with them to learn English is a little belittling 😭 #im a person too

  • TORA

    @Matt they just want foreign friends, take a picture with them, and post on ig or here. forcing someone hold an event is too bad🥵

  • ブルー

    I experienced similar situation. They think you are big fish in good way. We just wanna improve our studying language😔

  • Matt

    @Hikari you need to say hi first then ignore me for 6 months before asking to hang out 😂😂😂

  • Hikari

    Hi nice to meet you, do you want to hang out? Lol

  • Matt

    @TORA I saw it more like they suddenly have an urge to practice English and it’s like I’m an express English class or something. Or they have some specific event they want a foreign friend at lol

  • TORA

    they might think this is kind of tinder i guess 😂
