This random lady came up to me while I was playing football and things got weird. What should I do?
I’m 16M and I’m in Spain right now trying to get into football here.
Yesterday I went to a public football field near where I’m staying and was just playing football by myself, doing some freestyle and practicing moves.
Eventually this lady showed up with her son and some other kids. Her son was around 9 and the other kids were like 10–12, so I ended up playing with them for a while.
Afterward, the lady came up and started talking to me. She asked where I’m from, why I’m in Spain, what team I play for, how long I’ve been playing, etc.
I told her I’m from the US and I’m trying to get into a Spanish academy.
Then she asked for my phone number. I gave it to her.
She told me she knows people in football and could send my info to them.
She mentioned this big academy and even showed me their training complex on her phone. She also randomly said she’s friends with Achraf Hakimi, which I have no idea if that’s actually true.
She also told me she’s a DJ. I later found her public TikTok and she actually does seem to DJ at parties, so that part checks out at least.
There were a couple things that made me uncomfortable though. At one point she offered me a ride somewhere, which I declined. She also offered me some gum, but I said no because I couldn’t really tell what it was and it looked kinda weird to me.
She also gave me this really weird/creepy smile at one point that caught me off guard.
Nothing actually happened to me and she didn’t threaten me or force me to do anything. I also know I might’ve just been overthinking because the whole interaction was completely unexpected.
She also mentioned if im gonna be coming tommorow again to the feild but after that interaction i dont think i am.
I’m mainly wondering what you guys think. Is this just some random adult who saw me playing football and genuinely wanted to help me, or are there enough red flags that I should just stay away?
What would you do in my situation?
