He works for New York City in some capacity. The unrevealed office only adds to the mystery of Mr. X, who plays his cards tight to the vest. He is actually a really nice guy who has traveled and lived in Japan. Our conversation could only have turned more interesting when the cute Joey came by to offer her take on relationships from a Japanese/American perspective. It turns out that all the worrying by Mr. X about how to act “properly” over there in Japan was unnecessary. Apparently, the Japanese girls are not that much different than the girls here in America, according to Joey. They just wanna have fun.
Mr. X seemed a bit surprised by the news. (In all fairness, Mr. X said he was never really one to “just go searching for one-nighters and all that.)”
I’m not sure that was what Joey was talking about, but his reaction was curious. He is a self-proclaimed “serious relationship” guy. I think Joey sensed that and was just joshing him, if only to remind him that women (and men) in the end, are not THAT much different. Most people would like to find someone to connect with. I asked Joey if she’s married. She said yes. I then asked her what makes her marriage work.
She answered in one word: honesty.
Ok – 
two words: honesty and fun.
