I tell people at work I have a girlfriend. But I don't!

TDW, its just natural curiousity that causes your co-workers to ask questions. Its a different way of life, they’re interested so they ask. Westerners tend to be curious almost to the point of rudeness but it isnt meant to be rude. Be yourself.

and impulse, so you think that either a person never dates and has an arranged marriage OR sleeps with “100 different people”??? Sheesh. A date isnt sex…maybe you should ask YOUR co-workers some questions!

when did I say that? stop putting words into my mouth. I was talking about the average non-muslim AMERICAN/BRITISH. it would be VERY umcommon for them to have only slept with one person in their life…in fact it would be a miracle…their idea of a date is completely different to what a date may mean to desis.
