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 : Then let's have some coffee
Me : Thank you.
What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?
He : Btw, you're really pretty.
I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.
He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?
Which bands became massively popular for covering songs rather than recording originals?
He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.
He : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?
Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.
Why does an older married man turn bisexual?
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 : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.
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).
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?
Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!
He : Tea ?
Me : Sure.
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 was something you did naughty with your cousin?
He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?
I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)
He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!
Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.
Me : Because it's month of August.
Me : I don't drink
He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.
Me : I don't drink coffee also
Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.
He : I'm 24.
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.
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?
Is it possible to revive a dead person in real life with black magic?
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 : No
Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)
P.S. : The conversation above is filtered removing all the rubbish, “normal” slangs of metropolitan city's students.
I was already blown that why being a 24 year old, he's being creepy with me.
Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?
Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.
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
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 : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?
I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.
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 : So, are you seeing someone?
