Dear Teachers,

- What does "you are off the market" mean here?

2. Does "what am I to do?" mean "what do I have to do?"?

3. To get to know her really well, You have to talk to her more often.

- What does "to get to know" mean here?

4. I'm very good to her.

- This means "I treat her well", right?

5. We get along fine except for one thing.

- I think "well" is better than "fine" here, right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

1. He wants to keep you busy so you are off the market.

- What does "you are off the market" mean here? I don't know. Possibly he wants to prevent you from looking at the 'job market', ie trying to find another job. But, I'm not sure. It's an odd sentence.

2. Does "what am I to do?" mean
