I was down at the pool hall with a couple of buddies of mine when i spotted this cute little Korean girl. And you know how they are - some can be 20, but look very young if they're only 5'3. So all three of us had different guesses as to how old she was. I saw her checking me out briefly once or twice, but didn't approach because she was with her friends (a guy and a girl). But they finished playing first, and as they were passing us, the following conversation took place.
Me: Hey
HBKorean: (stops along with friends, seems friendly) Hello
Me: Listen, my friends and i are in disagreement as to your age. So out of curiosity, how old are you?
HBKorean: (smiles) How old do i look?
Me: I say you're at least 17. But this guy over here says you're 14, and he (point at my other friend with a grin) claims you're 12.
HBKorean's female friend (smile): You're the closest one. She's actually 16.
Me (with a small laugh) Great, so i'm not so bad at this after all
< at this point, i turned away and looked at my friends, hoping she'll keep on walking since i didn't really want her digits now that i knew she was only 16, which is legal in canada, but still too young in my book >
< two seconds later, i looked back to see her still standing there and looking at me. all of a sudden, i felt really bad. the only non-rude thing to say that jumped into my head was... >
Me: Hook up a number?
HBKorean (pause): Well, how old are you?
Me: 20
HBKorean (pause): Well... i have a boyfriend.
Me: No problem... nice meeting you anyway!
HBKorean (smile): Yeah... you too.
< i turn around, and she stands there looking at me for 2-3 more seconds, then walks away with her friends >
Alright, so what the hell was this all about? She stands there waiting for me to ask her out, and when i do, asks me how old i am before rejecting me. At first, i thought 20 was too old for her and she was hoping for 18-19, but i look 23-25, and no girl in her right mind would ever give me 20. So what was she expecting? And why didn't she move on immediately after the conversation ended? I got a feeling she wanted me to convince her to give me her digits even though she had a guy. Was she just trying to not look like a slut in front of her friends and hoping i'd give her a 'valid' reason to give out the digits?
