Oof. Have you expressed your concerns that two white Americans giving their daughter a traditional Japanese name could be considered inappropriate in today's social climate? And that your daughter will be the one who suffers the consequences in the future and possibly resorts to changing her name in an attempt to escape the negative attention?

EDIT: Would he settle for making this her middle name? And giving her a more...traditional...first name?

"Okay. Now will you take the lock off yours?"
"No. In fact, get out of my car! Kids, your mother isn't sleeping in our house tonight!"

If this is a real post, you need to contact a divorce lawyer ASAP. You could've been killed after he dropped you off 3 miles from home.

It feels very good when you find a girlfriend that actually likes/loves you for you.

Dating in general can be very stressful, but can be equally fun and exciting. Ultimately, be brave. If you have a car/can borrow your parents' car, and you're allowed to date (some parents are more strict than others about this kinda stuff), ask a girl you like to go to the movies or something.

Basic tips: Offer to treat her to it. Be polite, open doors for her, buy her a drink/popcorn. Don't expect anything from her in exchange. Maybe after the movie, go grab some food somewhere (doesn't need to be fancy, just somewhere you both like - fast food is cheap and acceptable in high school). And if you both seem to have had a good time at the end of the night, ask her if she'd be interested in doing this again sometime soon.

Use the evening as a way to feel out whether or not you'd enjoy spending more time with this person. If the answer is yes, then they might make a really good girlfriend. If the answer is maybe or no, then maybe think twice about that second date.
