Student: Oh yes! I have many plans tonight. Big plans.
Me: Oh really? With a girlfriend?
Student: Well, after tonight, she will be my girlfriend.
Me: Oh really? What will you do to win her heart?
Student: ....... I can't say that. Don't ask me that.
Me: .........oh.......... well, what present did you buy for her?
Student: I didn't buy a present. I bought nothing for her.
Me: Really? Not anything?
Student: No. She bought for me. In Korea, women buy men gifts. Is it same in America?
Me: It's different in America. Here, the men need to make sure they get the women a gift. It doesn't have to be anything big. A card. Candy. A nice dinner. Some men buy their women expensive jewelry or take them on vacation. But, that is not realistic for everyone.
Student: Oh, wow! That is so different! So crazy! What about you?
Me: Me? What do you mean?
Student: Well, what will you do tonight? With your boyfriend?
Me: Oh. Well, I am single. I think I mentioned that before. So, I have no plans. Sometimes people that are single get together and celebrate their freedom. Haha! But, I will probably go to bed early tonight. It's been a long week and I'm tired.
Student: Ah! Teacher! You need to have plans! Quick! Find a boyfriend! You need to hurry! There is not much time!
Me: (laughing) Well, right now in life I'm not so concerned with making sure I have a romantic Valentine's Day. There is time for that in the future.
Student: I hope you have a fantastic day next year.
Me: Next year? Well, maybe...
Student: Not maybe!!! DO it! You need a fantastic Valentine's Day. Next Year. Make sure.
Me: I will do my best. How does that sound?
Student: Good. It sound good.
It's hilarious that my students are more concerned with my love life than I am. Ha!
