The absolute best time for getting the "OMG he's so cute!" factor from speaking Japanese to Japanese girls is when you're first learning. You know just enough to say some things, but you're still making simple mistakes, and obviously struggling with it. Nearly every Japanese girl I've ever met seems to be that way. Once you actually speak better Japanese and can hold at least a semi-decent conversation, you suddenly become less interesting.
I was also told (and later learned for myself) that when Japanese people say "your Japanese is so good!", it actually means "I can't believe this foreigner can actually speak a word of our language." They're shocked to see a round eye be able to even begin to grasp their wonderful language, thus they think you're some sort of genius. Again, like the first thing though, get to be actually decent, and their surprise/amazement quickly wears off. The point at which they should be praising you, they don't say s**t. Plus... there's no in-between with them. They either expect you know nothing of Japanese, or that you know everything, no in-between.
