Watch the Tan Kid Blush · 10 September 04

I’ve been doing one-on-one conversation tests with some of my beginning students. The format is simple: I ask them four easy questions, then they ask me one question. Which I answer.

The questions were mostly the kind of boring question that you ask when first learning a second language. “What sport do you like?”, “Do you like Japan?”, “Do you like sushi?”, etc.

When a few girls giggled and asked me “Do you have a girlfriend?”, I wasn’t that surprised. Normal curiousity surrounded by nervous laughter, right?

But the last girl I interviewed looked me right in the eye and asked her question with straight-up confidence:

“What do you look for in a lady?”

Back me up, that’s weird, no?
