I am Single, But Not Searching

This is a smash hit in Lira, I hear it everyday. The men at the office love it and think it is hilarious. Per usual I am learning a lot about the ins and outs of dating in Lira. It always interests me how different cultures regard courting. If you were to be seeing someone "illegally" ie on the sly, and you were caught with that person- the parents of the daughter would demand a fine of cattle. In that scenario the woman is always innocent and her family receives cattle. As you can imagine, this leads men to be very careful about "sneaky women" :) I have been asked to go on a church date with a guy from town. I just about choked on my coke when he asked if I was free Sunday morning. The last time I was in church was Christmas Eve... which is not acceptable here. I am in the devils hands... So, as the song says, I am single but not searching :)
