So this happened about 4 or 5 hours ago. I just got home from the movie theater. To start typing.
I was meeting some friends after work to go see Avengers: Age of Ultron. I got there early as I work only a few minutes from the theater. I sat outside on a bench kind of lounging around and browsing reddit on my phone, waiting to hear from my friends.
Suddenly a girl walks up from behind me: "Excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you, but can I borrow your phone? I need to call my ride. I was supposed to meet a guy here but he stood me up and I was counting on using his phone after the movie."
Me: "Uh..."
Her: "I'm not gonna steal your phone I swear."
Me: "Yeah, sure. That's fine."
She struggles to input her ride's number on my Note 4, as she is clearly an iOS user. After several failed attempts to get an answer and calling more than one number, she finally gets ahold of her mother and secures a pickup.
At this point I'm a little weary that a girl is calling her mom for a ride after she came to the movies seemingly by herself. We chit-chat a bit and the conversation gets a little flirty. Here's where the FU happened.
She casually halts the conversation and asks: "Hang on. Hold old are you?"
My suspicions were correct and my heart sunk.
Me: "I have a feeling the answer is too-old."
Her: "19?" I shake my head. "20?" I shake my head. "25?!" I shake my head. "No way!"
Me, with a lump in my throat: "I'm 27."
Her: "No way! You look so young. You look like you could be a junior."
At this point the full severity of my FU has settled in. I know she's not talking about college.
"Well? How old do you think I am?"
After swallowing the lump in my throat: "Six...teen?"
Her: "Close..." My heart stops. "15."
I can hear sirens in my head as the police are coming to take me away. I calmly and politely say to her: "Yeah, I think I'm a little too old for you."
We awkwardly exchange more pleasantries and she somehow works into the conversation that she really wants to go to the local Comic Con coming up in a month or so: "I would ask you if you wanted to go with me... but, you know..."
Me: "Yeah, I'm way too old for you..."
After about a few moments I can't take it anymore, so I say I gotta go. I apologize in case I was perceived as a creep, say it was nice to meet you, and immediately go into the theater and order a drink. I think I needed it.
TL;DR- I look young and apparently can pull girls over 10 years younger than me.
