The man proceeded to ask the woman whether she was attached.
"I don't have a boyfriend. If I did, I wouldn't be online getting to know people," she responded.
The guy was curious as to why she was still single, which prompted him to ask about her relationship status. He even jokingly added, "Give a chance to a single man... like me."
The woman said that she does give chances to single men. However, she admitted to being picky when it comes to choosing a boyfriend.

The woman then declined the man's advances as she does not want someone with "no prospects"
"I'm looking for a boyfriend with the intention to get married, I don't want to find someone with no prospects, like lorry drivers, Grab [drivers], and hawkers, that kind. I don't want both of us to have no future in life," the bachelorette said.
She also wished that the man would find someone in the future but at the moment, she is only looking for friends and nothing more.
The man understood and told her not to overthink the situation as he regarded the two as just friends.
