There must have been something in the water

I had a weird encounter today. I'm just sitting at a table in a cafe“, drinking juice and studying for my advanced geography exams, when a French guy randomly comes up to me and asks if he can talk to me.

Him: Can I talk to you?
Me: OK, why not.
Him: I saw you ordering your food and I thought you looked interesting. I want to be friends with you.
Me: ... huh?
Him: I want to get to know you better. You look serious, are you a bit serious?
Me: Uh..I guess I am...er...
Him. I like serious people. I want to get to know you.
Me: ...(*eep*)
Him: *mumbles something I can't quite make out* Where are you from?
Me: Oh, I'm just Finnish.
Him: Oh, I thought you were foreign. ...Is this weird? I can go if you like.
Me: It's a bit ..strange, yeah.

And then it went on like that, only it was a lot weirder than I can describe. He assured me he was only looking for friendship, wanted to go out and have a coffee with me sometime(or something like that), and I did end up giving him my number, but, the whole thing was just plain strange. Well, at least the worst thing he can do is phone me.
