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.
Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)
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.
How do introverts celebrate their birthday?
Me (a little confused) : I don't know
Me : Thank you.
Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.
He : Tea ?
Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!
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!
Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?
He : So, are you seeing someone?
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.
When Kundalini is awakened accidentally, what can be done?
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 : Sure.
He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?
Can you write a poem or short story based on the first image that shows up on Pinterest?
I am still confused that which nice guy in the world, asks a girl to meet for a movie at the first-ever meet?
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!
He : I'm 24.
Do you agree with Michael Moore that Donald Trump is "toast" in a political comeback?
He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
Me : Because it's month of August.
Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.
Me : I don't drink
Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
He : Then let's have some coffee
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
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 : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
Was Jimmy Carter a good President of the United States?
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
Me : No
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?
How does Bollywood influence Indian culture?
He : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?
He : Btw, you're really pretty.
Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
What are the top 5 star Michelin restaurants near Pompano Beach, Florida?
Me : I don't drink coffee also
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 was already blown that why being a 24 year old, he's being creepy with me.
Is it because Trump is impulsive that he is never on time?
He : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?
P.S. : The conversation above is filtered removing all the rubbish, “normal” slangs of metropolitan city's students.
He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.
He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!
Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?
I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.
He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
