Not to self: it is unsafe to reveal the fact that you are single while livng abroad.  Here's what happens:
"Who are you going to bring with you to the Ples?  A nice Czech man?"
"No, I don't have a boyfriend rignt now.  I'm bringing my flatmate, shes a girl."
"Oh, you don't have a Czech boyfriend yet?  How is that possible?"
- A colleague
"This is my older brother.  His name is Martin.  He is 21 years old.  He does not have a girlfriend....I'll be back in a few minutes."
- One of my students at Ples
"So, why are you in the Czech Repubic?  Do you have a Czech boyfriend or something?"
"Nope"
"Oh my god, why?"
