An extraordinary encounter

Today, after work, as i walking to city hall mrt to take my bus home, I met this angmoh who wanted to know the way to Funan centre. As it was near city hall, I offered to take him there. He introduced himself and Alan/Allen(whatever) and that he was from America and was a writer. As we walked,we chatted and apparently he was alone in Singapore and was going to go Japan or Hongkong next. I told him that I was from NUS majoring in sociology and that I was working during the hols...surprisingly I was being very chatty, but I thought as he was a tourist,must give a good impression mah.. ;)

It all seemed pretty harmless I suppose, but I couldnt help but wonder what would people see me when I was walking next to him, a SPG??( Horror). Thus I kept my distance, trying to keep a gap between us. On the contrary, he seemed to be walking closer and closer to me. As we reached the road juntion near Carlton hotel, he suddenly got his bearings and also the way to Funan. Then he asked me..

A: Are you old enough to drink?
T:(warily) I suppose so...
A: Want to go for a drink?(indicates carlton hotel)
T: Err, no, that would be necessary, I am going home for dinner
A: Are you sure you don't want to go for coffee or anything?
T: Hahha..yeah,its alright, really..

(And when it became apparent I wasnt going anywhere with him and we were going to part, he asked for my contact number which I refused to give of course, he could be a wolf in sheep's clothings for I all know)

A: Can I have you contact number so that we can meet up for drinks or something again next time
T:(very hesitantly...trying to look for escape,very aware that the drivers in the cars would looking at us)Err, I don't think so
A: Well, you never know, perhaps one day....
T:Weeelll, you see, I don't know you very well and all...

He got the message, as he was leaving, he leaned over and said, I think you are a very cute girl, your smile is really beautiful, all the best for your course in Sociology.

.......

I couldnt help being a little flattered, though I was not impressed. Was he for real?

One thing for sure, Americans have really glib tongues. I thanked him with a nice smile and went on my merry way...
