Please tell me if I used the term predator wrong.

Anyway, went to the supermarket with my sis to look at the chocolate chips for cookies. Wholesome, right? There's no price tag, we go to an aisle where the price checker's at. There's a dude there that's probably in his 30s, nothing to worry about cus he's just sniffing the body scents, right?

He says hi, and tells us that he likes the... vibe--he probably meant our appearance. I just want to say that's somewhat weird cus we just had casual on. I look at him confused cus I have never seen him before in my life, now I realise he was holding eye contact for a good minute before speaking cus he seemed attracted to either of us. He talked like an 8th grader nervously hitting on his crush cus whatever he said was incoherent and he has an awkward presence. All I made out from what sounded like half-assed compliments was "you look like uh--" AND WHATEVER CAME AFTER SOUNDED LIKE GIBBERISH. Either he's not great at talking to people or he's on something illegal. I couldn't even understand what he said his name was.

part of the convo i understood:

him: "what're you doin'?"

me: "..buying chocolate chips"

him: \*uhhh more incoherent muttering\*

me: "and you got meat?" (who tf puts meat in their cart THEN goes to the soap section)

him: "oh yeah, I'm a carnivore"

me: "like the diet?"

him: "yep" \*more incoherent words but he looks way too giddy now\*

me: "what??"

him: "so how about this, I get your number and we can hang out"

me: "how old are you??"

him: \*HE LOOKS UP AT THE FUCKING CEILING ACTING CUTE\* "uhmm, I'm old enough" \*AND SMIRKS??\*

me: "I'm 18"

him: "so?"

me: "I just turned 18"

him: "so?"

me: "you look like you're in your 30s"

him: "and?"

me: "y'know what nevermind, we're not interested"

\[I think I definitely shouldn't have mentioned my age just to justify why I'm rejecting his advances but oh well I'll remember that next time.\]

THEN THE FUCKER WALKS TOWARDS THE CHECKOUT ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME STARING AT US, we didn't end up buying chocolate chips cus my bank app couldnt get signal and obviously we felt like fleeing.

I was shocked cus usually I'd be able to smalltalk with strangers and nothing wrong will happen but this is wtf.

First time getting approached by a predator/creep.
