I am madly in love with a woman whom I've known for a good while. We share intimate stories about our pasts, we take long walks at night, and she has told me that it must be "destiny" for us to have met. Now I don't know if these are clues that she likes me back, but frankly I don't care. I must tell her how I feel.

For something this important, I want to speak to her in Japanese, and I want my words to reflect the appropriate, accepted behaviors in Japanese culture that govern "asking people out". In other words, I don't want to use words I would use on say, an American girl. I want to ask her out in the same way a well mannered Japanese guy would ask a girl out.

So for those who live in Japan and have observed appropriate "love confessing" behavior, or have been with a Japanese girl, what pointers do you have regarding me telling her how I feel?
