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

He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
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.
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.
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?
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
Has anyone ever really waited that long and gotten a paper check mailed 20 days ago?
Me : Thank you.
I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.
He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!
I was already blown that why being a 24 year old, he's being creepy with me.
Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
He : So, are you seeing someone?
Why would you think you're fit to be a model?
He : Then let's have some coffee
Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?
Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!
He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
He : Btw, you're really pretty.
What is your review of The Office (U.S. TV series)?
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).
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 : 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.
If sea levels were rising, wouldn't the acreage of coastal salt marshes increase? Are they?
Me : I don't drink
Me : Sure.
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!
What does it mean when we dream about demons, ghosts, monsters, etc.?
He : Tea ?
Me : No
Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.
What makes you feel guilty the most?
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.
He : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?
What are some life hacks for living on your own?
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!
He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
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 : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?
Me (a little confused) : I don't know
Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)
Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.
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 : I'm 24.
Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?
Me : Because it's month of August.
Me : I don't drink coffee also
He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
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).
