How do you get a sempai to notice you?

[ClocktowerEchos]

For reasons unbeknown to all of you, a nonexistent friend of mine requires some advice on getting a sempai to notice them. I advised them to smacka dat hoe but they didn't listen :<

[Cerberov]

Follow them around. Anytime they turn towards you, giggle, hold your face, and then turn and run away. Do that enough, and they'll be sure to notice you.

Or leave dead animals on their porch. That also works.

[Lunamaria]

show them your integrity and courage. that you are normal person, not some wannable kiss-ass. being a kiss ass never gets respect

It's senpai, by the way. Not sempai.

[Keyguyperson]

Why have a sempai when you can just have cake?

Worked great for me. 10/10 would recommend chocolate cake over sempai.

@Halo

There are different spellings for it. Sempai is one of them.

[Dinh AaronMk]

There is only one way.

The goal isn't to be noticed by Senpai -- the goal should be to be Senpai.

@ClocktowerEchos

If you have to ask this question, then you'll never know.

Senpais are not made, they are born. If you have the potential to be a senpai, then you already are one. You need only unlock your true power.

I am a few peoples' sempai and I have to say, they're really creative in getting me to notice them. XD

One left a box full of take-out at my door with a note. It was very adorable.

Another one approached me in one of my college classes, not saying a word to me, and shoved a bag into my arms. It was full of small admiring and love notes from them addressed to me. It was sweet.

The other one just follows me around with his polaroid camera, taking pictures of the things he thinks I like and taking notes on his phone. I don't know his name, though. He's just like a small ghost friend.

:3 Hope this helped..... a little... hehe

@Anime_Freak

I'd advise against giving this as love advice. Just... just a tip.

[Anime_Freak]

@Keyguyperson Heh, well I think it's cute. He's really shy, too, so that adds to it :3 But meh, I guess it's different for everybody.

Nope.

Actual Facts

I'm currently studying Japanese through my university, but if that isn't enough proof Wikipedia and Google agree with me. A quick search says that out of the three main romanisations of Japanese, all use "senpai". There was one that used to use "sempai" but that was revised to "senpai" over 60 years ago.

Oh, wasn't that part of that big romanized spelling change that they did? I remember hearing some random tidbit of info on it a while back.

@Halo

@Halo I'm happy that you are taking time to express concern for the misinterpretation of the Japanese language, but as someone who has been speaking Japanese almost their entire life, I have to make some tweaks to your explenation.
We use sempai and senpai together, actually. When we are addressing someone we admire as a tutor or teacher, we use sempai. This term is used for a senior that you respect normally.
When using senpai, you would use it to address someone that you find as an upperclassmen or senior that you admire with a passion.
Some people interchange them in speech, finding that the person they are addressing fits both descriptions, and that's okay.

Edit: Excuse the mispelled words. I fixed them, but obviously my English needs help xD
