The other day, my roommate couldn't make it home for lunch so it was just me and Carmen and it was pretty quite. After a couple of minutes of lagging conversation Carmen begins the conversation of relationships. This is generally how that conversation went.
Carmen: Grace, I don't understand why you don't have a boyfriend. You're pretty, smart, funny, nice. Why don't you have a boyfriend?
Grace: I don't know. I guess I just haven't found anyone I really want to be with.
Carmen: Well you're young, you have plenty of time. But girls in America get married so young, like 24 or 25 years old, right? You only have like 4 more years.
Grace : Yes, but America also has like the highest divorce rate in the world right now. I think I would rather be closer to 30 year old when I get married and know that I'm marrying the right person, then get married in 4 years and end up getting divorced.
Carmen: Oh, you are so smart! You should try to find yourself a Spanish boyfriend. Spanish boys are very nice and much better looking than American boys.
Grace: Do you know anyone my age?
Carmen: No, all my siblings and friends children are either 14 years old or 30 years old. Maybe ISA can find you an intercambio that can be your boyfriend.
