Singleness

so here everyone is obsessed with singleness...it is the most commonly asked question i have received almost anywhere I go. at first we were hanging out with individuals who were from the church and they were youth, so i thought it was just common for the youth to talk about it but no not true.

since we have been here i have been asked by 4 guys to marry them on separate occasions and they are all serious too...this freaks me out a little bit cause they all know i have a boyfriend.

the most recent story actually happened at a studio recording we went to. a gentleman singled me out of all the girls on the team and asked my name. I thought this was the end of the conversation because there is an extreme language barrier, but not the convo did continue with him asking me if i was single. i said no that i had a boyfriend and he said well i am single. mind you at this time there was probably 30 people standing around us...here is how the convo went...

Guy: "Are you married?"
Me: "No."
Guy: "WELL, I am single and you are single...SO....."
Girl in the background: "SO....question mark...?"
Guy: "So what do you say?"
Me: "I have a boyfriend!"
Girl: "A boyfriend or a boy lover?"
Me: "Ummm...boyfriend...?"
Sarah: "What do you mean boy lover?"
Girl: "Someone more than a friend cause Brian could be your boyfriend!"
Me: "Then I have a boy lover!"

These are always really awkward conversations and people seem to want to get us married here! It is a common theme and not one I enjoy at all! So I am content to say that I am glad to have an American BOY FRIEND!
