Hotel date

[kemey]

do you think if you really want to do something with someone, you should call him/her to a hotel, (cheap one so you don't have to pay so much [I think the person who asks someone out should be the one to pay all the fees]), and we will resolve everything in a hotel.

in the us what do you do ?

what about that in Japan ?

In the US, you take them to your house. The only people who go to hotels are people who have sex with sleezy hookers (they go to sleezy motels) and married couples who want to get away from their house for a night. Also high schoolers who want to have sex after prom. And, of course, people out of town.

To an American not familiar with Japan, your question would sound very odd. The American would probably ask "Why do you want to meet them at a hotel instead of a restaurant or just have them come to your place?"

Having someone come and meet you at a hotel doesn't count as a "date" in English.

But who pays ?

Then what word do you use ?

I am thinking how my boyfriend will date me soon

I'll bite even though I think you're trolling me hard.

kemey, no one pays if you go to your house. I assume the man pays if he goes with a prostitute, but I find that disgusting (and dangerous), so I have never done it. If it's just a husband and wife getting away for a while, it doesn't matter since the husband's money is usually also the wife's money.

As far as just having someone meet you at a hotel, I'd just say a rendezvous at a hotel or something. "Date" I think involves going out into public, not going to a hotel room.

Thank you,
My boyfriend has gone on business and will not come back until Thursday. I just keep thinking he is going with some long legged Susan out there.
I am so worried and bored.

You used "long legged Susan." I like your style!

And if you're worried about that type of thing, sounds like you should dump your boyfriend or stop being paranoid. One or the other, depending on whether he's actually cheating.

Kyle, do notice that if the poster in genuine, and if she is from Japan, then there are such things called "Love Hotels" there. Nothing to do with some sort of real hotel, or some sort of prostitution.

Many couples go there for a night out, to be away from public eyes or for romance.

Why would you go to a hotel? As soon as I read the title, I thought it's gonna be sex-related.

This is also most likely what the person invited to a hotel is going to think.
