Gokon girls beware: Not every guy likes to be touched. Or so we're told
Gokon group dating parties can be great opportunities for love to blossom. Participants usually gather at an izakaya to enjoy casual flirtations over a couple of drinks, hopefully exchanging phone numbers later.
Gokon is a rite of passage. Something to try out at a young age before diving into the real mysteries of love later in life. So if you're heading off for a gokon evening, relax, don't take it too seriously and just enjoy the ride.
This advice is something not all women follow. A list of errors made by women who got a bit “too passionate” in their approach to guys during gokon dates has been put together by Otome Sugoren.
Apparently, some women are either gokon novices who don't know enough not to take it easy, or gokon veterans desperate enough to make a fool of themselves. Here's what not to do on a gokon date night:
1. Wear makeup so heavy that it creeps guys out.
2. Have hair permed curly to emphasize your cuteness.
3. Wear overtly sexy outfits that make guys wonder where to look.
4. Touch guys too many times.
5. Chime in even when unnecessary while listening to guys.
6. Crack bad jokes.
7. Fight with other girls over who should have the honor of serving guys food on a plate.
8. Perform a long speech about how dedicated you could be as a girlfriend.
9. Ask guys only about their income or status.
