Am I hot?

What are you supposed to say when a girl asks you this? I don’t know how guys would have reacted to this but I was clueless.

This happened on Saturday. I had received a package on Friday and since I was not there in my house, the parcel had been handed over to my apartment manager, Tina (she actually manages the office in the after hours). She is a girl in her early 20s. To be true, she is pretty attractive. In all those revealing attires, she sure does make you throw a glance at her.

I went to her on Saturday to collect the package. But she was not there. I waited for sometime and then started heading back to my apartment. On the way back, I saw her coming out of one of the apartments. She smiled at me and I smiled back (It’s a formality here, smiling and saying hi to everyone!). I wanted to ask her about my parcel but suddenly I changed my mind and I questioned her if she was living in the same apartment building.

Now, I dint know the implication of this question. She smiled at me and asked, "Why? Do you think I’m hot?" I was embarrassed to see the weird expression in her face. She was giggling. Then I realized my mistake. She mistook(or otherwise took the cue smartly!) that I was interested in her. Damn! I have never been asked such a question by a girl before and so I was a bit shocked. I tried to keep my cool and stammered, "Of course, you are Tina, but all I wanted to know was if I could come over to your place and collect my parcel."

She blushed and led me in to her office and handed over my package. Guess, I should be expecting such off-guard questions when I speak to an American girl who is in the prime of her
ages. Well, see what happens the next time when someone tries to bowl me over like this :)
