SHE'S young, smart and eligible.
She's also the reigning Miss Singapore World.
But according to Ms Faraliza Tan, for over a year now, no guy has tried to pick her up, ask her out, or tried to be more than a friend.
Or in her words, 'took direct action'.
The reason, it seems, is that guys here find Ms Tan out of their league.
'What's there to be afraid of? I'm still human,' she said.
Sure, she's received at least 200 Facebook requests from guys who want to be her friend, especially after her Miss Singapore World win.
And she does get her share of sleazy old men asking for her phone number.
But Ms Tan, 21, who's on the Dean's List at the school of Communication and Information, said: 'I haven't been approached by a guy for a date for many years.'
Mind you, this isn't someone who's holed up in some remote mountain, but an undergrad at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), an institution obviously swarming with hot-blooded guys. And if you listen to what she looks for in a guy, her standards aren't particularly unusual or high - he has to be taller than her (1.75m), doesn't have to be on the Dean's List, must be able to 'carry a conversation' with her, and must be able to make her smile.
Fortunately, my friend won't have to worry about being asked out. She lucked out with a fantastic guy.
