Omiai is a Japanese traditional custom in which unattached individuals are introduced to each other to consider the possibility of marriage. - Wikipedia

Tsubasa: Because an omiai is more than just a date, you have to impress harder. Smile, show you're not socially challenged.

Takki: But don't overdo it.

Tsubasa: Eat, drink and make merry. But don't play with your food.

Tsubasa: And hide the fact that you're a slob. Surprise your partner after marriage.

Takki: Drinking loosens the nerves. But not to the point of coarse language and bad behaviour.

Takki: Irregardless of his attractiveness, remember that the star of the meal is your potential life partner.

Tsubasa: Seize any opportunity to showcase any culinary prowess you might possess. Cooking and cleaning skills are highly rated in a marriage.

Tsubasa: And earn points by putting him first (for now).

Tsubasa: Be cool and confident but throw in an occasional coy smile now and then. Works like a charm.

Tsubasa: And show your fun and playful side too.

Tsubasa: By teasing him.

TakiTsuba: Lastly, if the date went well, you might want to proceed for a drink to get to know each other better. But watch out for possible side and after effects.
