This story is actually true but I didn't realize it would come in handy until later.

When I came here to Japan it was cold as balls and I didn't know how to use the heater because everything was in Kanji, so I froze to death and caught a cold. I had to wear a blanket wrapped around my head as I went to the bathroom. I'm still not exactly sure on how to use it even now.

I told this story while on a date and brought the girl back to my place. I went with the standard "come in for a short drink" line. It didn't work, but after talking for a minute she actually said ,"oh , I can help you with your heater."

So I brought her in and not long after we banged.

So now on every date/ encounter I tell this story in an exaggerated way, then we get to my place I just say "can you show me how to use my heater?" "I can't read japanese" Has worked every time so far....

You need to sell this story, which shouldn't be hard, so later when you get to you're place she will have her excuse to come in. Plausible deniability. If it's hot then talk about the air-conditioner, be creative.

if you want to use this in Japan：
