Don’t Try to Pick Up Girls in India

I was at Durgabai Deshmukh metro station on my way to college. In the metro, I saw this girl—decent looking, well-dressed. We both got off at the station, and that’s when a guy walked up to her and said something like, "I saw you, you’re cute, blah blah." She didn’t even hesitate. Just raised her hand and said, "I’m not interested." The guy’s face was all mixed up—like, Damn, this b****, but also like he couldn’t believe he got rejected. I could see anger in his face, like he was pissed that she shut him down so fast. Honestly, didn’t seem like a good guy at heart. People watch those Instagram Reels where a guy picks up a girl and she’s all over him, and they start thinking they’re that guy. Reality check—just have some self-awareness and stop embarrassing yourself.
