Yesterday as I was leaving work to go meet my Arabic tutor there was a guy hanging out by the entrance of the complex. He asked me if I spoke Arabic, because he wanted to speak to me, so of course I said yes (why not take the opportunity to practice?!) He asked me if I was married, and then asked if I had a boyfriend. I have taken to saying no to #1 and yes to #2, just because it is safer (these questions are becoming all too familiar. Up there with ‘what is your name’ and ‘how old are you’, but this guy went right for it). He seemed old and had his hands in his pants (not in a super gross way, just in general). And he told me that he was disappointed I had a boyfriend because he wanted to get to know me. WTF??? When my Arabic tutor came and got me and we drove away, the guy was still standing there and totally staring. Now he probably thinks my boyfriend is Arab. Great…
