Who me? SIngle?......No?

Two random conversations I've had this month. Enjoy!
The first was in Khmi with a man I've never met. It went like this.
Moto driver: You speak Khmi a lot. And you're pretty.
Me: Thanks.
Driver: Are you married yet?
Me: No, not yet.
Driver: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: No.
Driver: Do you want a Cambodian husband?
Me: awkward laughter
(we had reached my house at this point and I got off the moto)
Driver: Can I have your phone number?
Me: No.

The second was in English with an African guy I met in the elevator whilst riding down after church with my two little sisters.
Dude: Are these your babies?
Me: No, they're my sisters.
Dude: are you single?
Me: Yeah.
Dude: Are you living in Cambodia?
Me: Um, only for a few more weeks.
Dude: Where are you from?
Me: America, where are you from?
Dude: Africa
At this point we get off the elevator. I thought I'd escaped. Silly me.
Dude: I want to know you well.
Me: awkward laughter
Dude: I want to know you well
Me: Noni, what's wrong? (hopeless attempt to ignore the guy)
Dude: I like you, you're nice.
Me: (under breath) That's great. (thinking) Really? I was kind of hoping I had been rude... (out loud) Well I have to take the kids home and get them some lunch it was nice to meet you bye! Come on kids!

There are very few occasions where I'm grateful for American guy's lack of...forwardness. These are two of those occasions.

My mom's comment: If anyone asks you if you're single in the first 5 seconds of meeting you, LIE!!!
Good advice mom.

Love and peace or else!
