Pieces of me………

I was walking out for lunch today and a guy smiled at me, I waved and smiled back and casually asked how was he. He was an African footballer whom I once helped and often see around my working place. Suddenly, he asks me: “are you married?” I replied no. Then he asks me if I would marry him. I stared at him and wanted to ask him if he was crazy, but then on second thoughts I asked him how old he was. He told me he was 18 and I told him that it was impossible that I would marry him. I was not flatted at all with his proposal, instead I felt disgusted.

He did not give up. He kept on demanding for a reason why I would not marry him and it took me half and hour to convince him that it was not logical for me to marry him and that “Will you marry me” is not something you ask a stranger.

I’m still very stunt over that incident and to be frank, I suddenly feel insecure. Every morning, I’m alone in the office and I really hope this guy will not come and look for me again. I wonder what was in his mind when he proposed to me. Is it their culture to do so? Did he know what he was doing? Was he just trying to be funny? Is he sane? Or perhaps not matured in his way of thinking? Sigh…..what a day
