I'm thinking abiut learning Japanese. know of any good places in the U.S that could help me out

Bookstore.
One of the many girls that reject you.

Heartbreakers are a good source of knowledge.

Yeah but when learning Japanese?

They may reject you using a wide array of vocabulary.

Aside from actually taking a class, you can actually teach yourself a good deal through resources online. People may not believe it, but shows and songs actually do help with memorization.

There are plenty of sites online dedicated to teaching Japanese.

Then there's this thread I made...

Yeah, I agree with FrenchVanillaNYC. Very important, don't freak out over all the kana and kanji. There are many, but if you spend two weeks memorizing the kana (hiragana/katakana), you'll notice that it's not so hard as it seems.
I started with hiragana and memorized 5 each day, sometimes more. There are 46 of each, so that will take you around 18 days. Then you have the kanji. Start small and memorize just a couple a day. They are more complex, so it will take a bit longer to learn how to draw them.
Two great resources are The Kanji Site and The Japanese Page.

Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone courses are also good to have. They're a good way to learn common phrases and proper pronounciation. They are also designed to help you progress fast, so your motivation will stay high.

For me the best way was japanese online: www.hesjapanese.com
It's cheap course and they have so interesting materials" mp3, games, flash, grammar, texts... anything you want

Ummm, Hawaii maybe?

Sizable Japanese population there.
