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

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.
He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
Why are Boomers so vehemently opposed to student loan forgiveness?
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.
Me : I don't drink coffee also
Me : I don't drink
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!
Me : Sure.
Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!
He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!
He : Tea ?
He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
After 70 years of the crappiest computers ever made, why does IBM exist?
Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.
He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
Do you have any opinion on Japanese writer/actor Yukio Mishima?
Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?
Me : Thank you.
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!
Why are American university students fine with sharing a room?
Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?
He : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?
Me : Because it's month of August.
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?
Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.
He said he loves me, but why is it difficult for him to leave his wife?
He : I'm 24.
He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
He : Then let's have some coffee
He : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?
Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)
Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.
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).
Me (a little confused) : I don't know
Is it sinful for Christians to look at beautiful women?
P.S. : The conversation above is filtered removing all the rubbish, “normal” slangs of metropolitan city's students.
Me : No
I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.
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.
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 : 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?
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 : So, are you seeing someone?
He : Btw, you're really pretty.
Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
