@jessieperson You probably figured out by now that some of Japanese communication is non-verbal. Simple nodding, bowing, eye-contact, posture, or hand gestures can communicate hi, thank you, sorry, I understand, I'm angry, etc. This is because since infancy we're naturally trained to sense/read behaviors of others. We require fewer words to communicate among ourselves because we can infer the meaning. We generally sense gratitude, attention, or need of others from their behavior. But I understand it becomes very problematic when communicating with people who grew up in different cultures. As for whether a Japanese person loves you or not is quite simple. He/she will be genuinely interested in and concerned for your emotional and physical happiness. If he/she can sense your slight change of mood and emotions, that means he/she is paying attention to you and your needs. People who can't sense feelings/needs of others are considered to have low communication skills.
