No Playing Games

Picture this scene:

A girl comes up to a boy and says, "My friend likes you and was really sad when I told her you had a girlfriend."

If this happened in America you would picture this being a side conversation between two people. Perhaps you would assume this conversation is taking place at a middle school or in a university cafeteria. Regardless of where this conversation is happening, again, you would assume it is just between the boy and the girl.

Well, this morning I was the boy and one of the girl employees at my gym was the girl. However, there was just one little difference from our assumption -- the aforementioned friend was standing right next to both of us, smiling from ear to ear. As flattered as I was, I just thought this was a great example of how many Vietnamese girls don't play games. One thing I love about Huyen is that from Day 1 we never played games with each other. This is a stark contrast from dating in America and well, I think it's a breath of fresh air.
