I’m not sure if this belongs here if it doesn’t I’ll remove the post I just wanted to share.
I’m a young guy of average build with a kind of round face and red hair. Which people think makes me look like Ed Sheeran. Sometimes Random people will walk up to me and as a joke say something like “OMG are you Ed Sheeran!!!? Can I have your autograph?” The few times this has happened I’ve been so bewildered and uncomfortable I’ve only been able to say “yeah sure” and awkwardly sign a scrap of paper before leaving as fast as possible
I know they are joking because I’m pretty obviously not Ed Sheeran and their friends are always about 20 feet away laughing hysterically.
All of this happened again two days ago when a super cute girl walked up laughing with friends asking for my signature. All my friends burst into laughter and I was so shocked I was kinda rude to her and super awkward as I signed her arm. The second she left I started kicking myself realizing I missed a golden opportunity to write my number on her arm and practice being charming.
Any ideas on what I can say if I see her again? (were in the same circles so there’s a good chance)

Learn to sing or hum a line or two from a Sheeran song as a come on and assert yourself to her. If she (or you) doesn’t hate Ed Sheeran, you’ve got a headstart.
Seems like she was trolling you probably for the best that you didn’t write ur number.
Hey look on the bright side, in a different era redheads were mocked by being called Carrot Top (prop comedian, not just a generic term for a redhead).
