good luck!

I think there is no good places to meet foreign people, actually in Japan. Sorry if it sounds a little harsh. But I think most of people from abroad...who work in Japan like english teachers or whatever...especially native english speakers KNOW that they are very popular with japanese girls.They are confident. If you find someone nice, but he might go back to his homeland soon...and if you want relationships more than a friend, it even takes time to get to know each other.I know its kinda hard but if you really want a foreign boyfriend, go abroad and find the one! ^^

Hanami Parties!

Starbucks

Big Bookstores like Junkudo and Kinokuniya

House parties

Go to a Whynot Party (if you don't want to meet guys there, then make some female friends, and they might invite you to more events)

Go to some shops where foreigners go (for example the pizza place called Slices in Amemura).

You don't have to do GYAKU-NAN, but if you just smile and be friendly you can probably make friends fairly easily.

Like the people above said, if a girl likes me just because I'm a foreigner then I feel uncomfortable. If you get to know each person and then decide if you like him, it's better.

Arthans,

you met your GF through Mixi!?
Really!?

it's wow!
if so, you are just lucky!

Thanks to MIXI.. the cutest girl in Japan is my girl.

ha ha ha!
so 98% of the world poplulation.
I am looking for a young nice foreign guy living in Japan.
is it narrow enough?
maybe 0.0001% of the world population?

Foreign boyfriend...Japan comprises 2% of the world population. So that leaves quite a few people who are "foreign". Maybe you should narrow your choice a little more...

Even Japanese, everyone has different background or way of thinking.
And I'm sure you won't like the boyfriend who is just trying to know Japanese culture from you.

One of my friends told me before, 'Japanese girls are always coming to me, but they just want free English lessons.'

So my point is, boyfriend/even just a friend, they are not the tool.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I think you're missing the point.
And actually, this is the tip for your question from me.

good luck!
