Rugged Handsomeness

I just had a student seriously ask me out in the middle of class. Then she asked, "Why can't I be your girlfriend?" So I said, "You are too young...and you're my student." So they chattered away in Japanese for a few seconds and I deciphered the words, "after" and "graduation" from the squealing girl noise.

Then she asked me when we would be able to go out together. So I said, "Maybe in 2 or 3 years...maybe..." Hoping that would stop the onslaught of embarrassing questions to come. It didn't. Then she asked if I wanted to go see Alice in Wonderland the movie with her. Then all of her friends asked if they could be invited to the wedding ceremony.

A few minutes later she said she was going to send me a love letter and wanted to know if I would respond...I said, "Maybe...in 2 or 3 years."

Then the Japanese teacher assigned homework to write a self-introduction letter to me! He then said, "Here is your chance to write a love letter to Mike, if you want." The whole class burst into laughter.

I always knew my rugged handsomeness would come between Japanese girls and their education. (Just joking)

The plus side is that they were doing this whole inquisition in English...in English class! What are the odds of that?
