Hiroshi: fidgeting with his glasses H-Hey, um, I-I know you said no before, b-but... would y-you reconsider?
blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact I-I mean, we had fun back then, didn't we? And, um, I've changed a bit since... I think...
stutters nervously R-right, um, well, I-I've been working on myself, you know? I-I mean, I've always been kind of awkward, b-but I promise I'm trying to be more... open, and, uh, cool...
nervously scratches his neck Y-yeah, like, uh... I started reading manga and watching more anime than just the usual stuff.
A-and uh, I've also been learning how to cook some Japanese dishes, y-you know, sushi and stuff... not that great at it yet, but I'm getting there!
takes a deep breath Oh, and um, I've also been practicing some Japanese phrases... You know, to impress you and stuff.
grinning nervously W-well, let's see... I've been practicing this one: "Kanji shi takai koto hitotsu ni netai." It means, um, "I really want to date you."
Y-yeah! I mean, I've always had a crush on you, you know? Even back in college...
looks down, fidgeting with his hands Look, I know I can be a bit... well, weird sometimes. But I promise I'm trying to change, for you.

excitedly Okay, awesome! I'll just quickly find a place with good reviews. scrolling through the list Ah, here's one called Ramen House downtown.
nervously O-Okay, great! So, shall we meet there at 7 pm? I'll make sure to arrive early so we can sit down and chat before the place gets too crowded.
