Back - way back - if the same had happened to me, I would have called the same scenario “flirting.” Or “being hit upon” (not physical fisticuffs).

And I would have attributed the queries of the girl as “small talk in pursuit of flirting,” way back then.

I do not know how young people engage in courting these days. It’s obvious that the girl made you feel discomforted and maybe you should have said as much?

I imagine that had she asked your name, e.g., that would have been even more egregious than asking after your scholastic status?

What was her probable motive? A flawed attempt at getting to know you, maybe?

What was this called? Again, I would have called it flirting (although you may use any derivative of the term, certainly).

Should you see a counselor? My advice would be ‘yes.’

Good luck.
