The (Indian) Girl Who Thinks Everyone is Hitting on Her

While I have only encountered this phenomenon among Indian girls, I'm sure it happens with girls of every race. Approach her, and the word "husband" or "boyfriend" magically appears from her mouth within the first 30 seconds. Despite having no romantic interest in the girl, you are already believed to be hot for her. You could walk up to her with a photograph of your girlfriend/wife on your shirt, a wedding ring on your finger, and a neon sign on your head that says, "I'm not interested in you," and she will still be determined to let you know that she has no interest in you. While this is understandable at bars, clubs, and other social establishments where meeting members of the opposite sex for this purpose is commonplace, this girl believes that the only reason men talk to her is to ultimately get her into bed. Is this because she holds a high opinion of herself? Is it because she is usually harrassed by men who only want one thing? Perhaps we will never know.

Example:
A boy walks by a girl on the sidewalk.

Boy: Excuse me, what time is it?
Girl: It's 4:30. At least that's what it says according to the watch that MY BOYFRIEND gave to me.
Boy: Uh, thanks.
Girl: No problem. Well, I had better get going because MY BOYFRIEND is waiting for me.
Boy: Um, ok.
Girl: I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!

Sometimes this can go too far. In my own experience, I was talking to a girl about some cultural convention, and she told me she was interested in helping. She then offered her phone number to me (without my asking) and proceeded to give me a FAKE telephone number.
