A guy I really like gave me email last night saying,
‘Why don’t we go for dinner next week?”
I’m Japanese and he’s from Germany. We met in a gym.
I have two problems. Firstly, my English is poor, so I'm afraid if he and I could comunicate well. Secondly, i'm getting nervous because it should be my first date with a non-Asian guy.
Will you pls. give me some advise to make our first date success?

Do what you normally do on a date and don't worry about it. The guy likes you since he asked you out. That means he is going to be very forgiving of any mistakes or whatnots you make.

Just be confident, speak slowly and clearly to each other. Take a dictionary, piece of paper and a pen.
I'm English and married a Japanese guy, when we first started dating his English wasn't great and my Japanese was none existant. But we managed by using a dictionary for unknown words and a pen and paper to draw diagrams of what we were talking about when the conversation got confusing.
Now neither of us needs the dictionary or the paper and pen.
Enjoy yourself, I'm sure he will be just as nervous but there's not reason why you can't enjoy yourselves!

Don't worry about it, he has already spoken to you, so knows already that your English is poor. It will be great a experience even if you decide it is not for you. Just be yourself, no point in pretending to be something else. It will probably be really interesting as a topic of conversation will be your different cultures.

Actually, it is much more better to date with a guy who is from a diffrent culture cos there is a lot to talk about! u both will find each other very interesting and ask so many questions that u won't even understand how time will pass ! so just relax and talk !

Your english sounds excellent to me from reading your question. Try and talk about things you may have in common like:
- why you have both moved abroad
- the area you now live in
- hobbies and interests
- music you like etc.
- holidays
Ask him about Germany and his culture and try and look interested!

this might sound stupid but can you write english ? if you can why not take a note pad along just incase he can't understand you ! also he is a non asian guy but you like him ? well you would not have said yes to a date would you ? whats stopping you nothing much really is it ? good luck!

You say your English is poor, but you write better than most of the kids on this site!

Aww nevermind I think it will be ok. You met in the gym so hes seen you and spoken to you and is still interested.
I think you'll be ok.
