What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”

Me : Thank you.
He : I'm 24.
Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.
Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.
I sat there on the bench for a while. There was a boy standing by my side. Seemed an official, but maybe a management graduate. Offcourse well dressed (Cream shirt and black pants), offcourse smart, with a good accent and Delhi attitude (too much slang).
I was in an event in a management college of Gurgaon. I didn't knew the campus well. There was still some time left for the event to start. I was waiting for a speaker, who had invited me.
Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?
He : Btw, you're really pretty.
Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
What song are you listening to right now? What does it mean to you?
He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
Me : No
Yeah, I can understand that you're exploring. You're another “Dora - The Explorer” from Delhi. So, you should also find girls who're just explorers like you. Keep playing DORA-DORA!
What happened to your school bully?
I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.
Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?
Me : Sure.
Is it possible to revive a dead person in real life with black magic?
He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
Even in movies, you won't find any guy reaching out to a girl and asking for movies, drinks and chill at the first meet. The female character would literally slap such a guy (in movies).
He : Oh. You know, I also had Eco major. We both stay in South Delhi. We both are single. So much similiarities. And you're pretty also. What do you do on weekends?
Why do people think Mirko is boring in My Hero Academia?
Me : I don't drink coffee also
Me : I don't drink
Meanwhile, I was wondering from when did Chandigarh came in Madhya Pradesh? Maybe, I need to revisit geography of 10th standard again, or does he need it badly. Management, you know!
Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)
He : Yeah. Getting. I have also been here for years now. But I'm fed with Delhi. I have lived in Mangalore. My family is from Chandigarh. Madhya Pradesh you know.
He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
Have you been with a stranger yet?
He : Tea ?
Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
By now, he was at least sure that I'm not the kind of girl, he's looking for. With the excuse of a phone call, he moved towards the auditorium.
How will the article end in Part III of Gleissner's hit piece?
He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
He : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?
He : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?

He : So, are you seeing someone?
He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!
Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
Me (a little confused) : I don't know
I was already blown that why being a 24 year old, he's being creepy with me.
I am still confused that which nice guy in the world, asks a girl to meet for a movie at the first-ever meet?
He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?
P.S. : The conversation above is filtered removing all the rubbish, “normal” slangs of metropolitan city's students.
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
By now, I have already understood what he's trying to do. Still, I waited. So, I told him a place nearby to my locality.
He : Then let's have some coffee
Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.
Me : Because it's month of August.
