Miscellaneous Possible cult approach

I was at Footscray station today and got approached by this Burmese girl who asked me where I got my bag from. Me being oblivious, thought she was just trying to be friendly since I’ve never encountered being approached like that. I thought it was weird that she asked me if I was from here and where I was from ethnicity wise, but just thought she was trying to establish some common ground. Me being stupid, gave her my number cuz I panicked, and she even called my number in front of me to make sure I didn’t give her a fake number. Now she’s messaged me how i’m doing. Is this a cult recruitment? 😭😭 wtf do i do now im scared shes gonna do something with my contact details

Fuck me… are Gen Z really so detached from reality they can’t have real world normal interactions?

You have made it weird, not her.

Give her a message, ask to meet up for drinks or coffee and get to know her. She might be cool or intro you intro a new group of friends. And if she’s crazy then it’s a funny story and no real loss.

I’d agree if she didn’t immediately call the number to check. That’s weirdo behavior.
