Confused (and rightfully so)

The conversation went something like this:

Cute Jordanian Taxi Driver: You are the second Malaysian I have met here (in broken, heavily accented English)

Me: Oh really? Does he look like me? (in an effort to keep a conversation)

CJTD: Your eyes.

Me: Huh? (Confused)

CJTD: I like your eyes...

Me: Huh... (totally confused by now)

CJTD: I may be like your eyes most...

Me: What the...

My colleague: (After clarifying with the driver in Arabic) Oh, he thought you asked him if he likes you!

Me: Oh...

CJTD: Your eyes are beautiful.

Me: (Mute)

Damn! :)
