Encounters with freaks? Countless! But each and every time something like that happens I’m really taken aback.

Today I was walking very fast going from Romană to Unirii to meet up with him. I had my earphones on (like always), I was wearing a very decent red skirt and, like I’ve said, I was walking very fast. As I was passing through the passage at Universitate, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I stopped and turned around expecting to see a familiar face. Well, the guy who had tapped me didn’t look familiar at all. He was a bit chubby, kinda my height, with blonde hair and he was wearing a red jacket and a red cap (red, everyone was wearing red today!).

I saw that he was saying something so I took off my earphones. I thought he was someone who needed directions or wanted some money.

- Uhm… do you speak Romanian? he asked me in English.
- (WTF?!) Da! Of course I speak Romanian!
- Oh, hahaha, OK. Well, you know…
- What do you want?
- Uhm, do you have any idea what would be the perfect but casual pick up line?

I didn’t even listen to what else he wanted to say. I put my earphones on and headed for the escalator. He was coming after me. I rushed out and walked even faster but he was still behind me gesticulating and saying things I didn’t hear. I lost him at one point or he simply gave up.

I really don’t understand these guys. Do they really think we could fall for someone who is creeping up on us? Or for someone who out of the blue asks us for the perfect pick up line?

People are so fucking strange!
