After dinner, Jade and I had wine. We were on my sofa, just talking.
"How's your Russian by the way? Are you studying it?" I asked her.
"I am. But I don't want to practice Russian with you now."
I nodded with a smile.
"I'm curious."
"Uh hm? About what?"
"You're a great guy. Why didn't your past relationships work?"
Okay. Here we go.
Why do women feel the need to ask about it? Every one of them?
"Is it okay for me to talk about it?"
"Yes. I'm just curious."
"Well.. we had different priorities and we were very busy so it was hard to make it work."
"Have you asked them to marry you too?"
I almost choked on my wine.
"Uh hm. No. No I didn't," I answered with a small smile.
"Why not?"
"I think I was still young and I was at the height of my career."
She nodded and took a sip of her wine.
"You know, I'm still wondering why you want to wait until marriage before having sex."
