Man Finds Himself In Trouble After A Japanese Girl He Likes Discovered That He Understands Her Native Language
Love is indeed a beautiful thing. When you fall in love, the feelings are just hard to explain to the person you’re in love with, especially if you’ve been rejected before.
But when you confront your fears and finally open up and get accepted, you’ll be the happiest person in the world. This Redditor, u/ricedealer97, was in love but didn't know how to proceed because he had been "shot down several times in the past," making him wary of going through confessions and heartbreak all over again.
He took to the r/tifu subreddit community to share his Daisy love story as he was confused about what to do. According to his story, he met a wonderful Japanese girl and they hit things off really well.
They even hang out at each other's places to watch anime or play video games, but so far "it has been an amicable and platonic relationship." Now it happens that the OP had been learning Japanese on and off for 6 years, and he didn’t reveal this to the Japanese girl.
He happened to overhear a conversation between the Japanese girl and her mom where she revealed that she actually liked the OP. So when she found out that the OP actually understood Japanese, things didn’t go so well.
Here’s the story in full.

It’s one thing to fall in love, and it’s another thing to actually reveal your feelings to the person. But what’s important is for us to at least try and fail, rather than not try at all.
The Redditors have given their opinions, and now it’s your turn. What would you do in this situation?
