I'm leaving the men's locker room at my gym when this asian guy stops me.
Man: Hey, you play tennis? (sounded like: hey, yuu pulayee tan-is?)
Me: hm? Yes.
*more chit chat of when you played, you good?, did you play on a team?
Man: You Chinese?
Me: No, Korean.
Man: Give me your number, we can play tennis sometime.
Me: Uhhh...(didn't really want to give him number). *But dang, he was so polite I couldn't be like, "NO!!!"
*I write number, exchange names.
Wu: Alright, I'll give you a call.
Me: Ok, bye
I dunno what to do. This guy looks like he's 40-50 years old. I've seen him around a lot and I've watched him play tennis while running around the track. He's good, but he's OLD. I guess I'll have to answer his call and play some ball with him. He plays doubles a lot with other men his age, but man, I just feel uncomfortable with the old men. I want to play competitive, but I don't want to play like a young popin'jay running around everywhere while these old people can't. And I don't want to play at half-speed because that would be just blah.
What's the worst thing that could happen? I get pwned and this guy never wants to play with me again. Or maybe I play so well and I impress him. Then he reveals the fact that he is a king and wants me to marry his beautiful daughter and take over his throne, ala Eddie Murphy in "Coming to America."
And when I say the boy has his own money, I mean THE BOY HAS HIS OWN MONEY!!
What do you guys/gals think? Go play ball?

Pedobear says, NO WAY!
Then again, if this guy happens to be in business it'd be a great way to establish some connections.
I'd say avoid it, you don't know this guy at all. Potential gains are small, losses are large.
Maybe he's looking for a protege.
