I'm leaving, I smell something fishy

So I'm on the chat, this girl tells me she's native (I only stay when there is a native, I'm a jerk like that wink ) but I asked her: ¿Estás seguro de que realmente quieres conocerlo? (el futuro) this is from a fortune teller (how do I say that) and I was like "why conocerlo and not saberlo" is it because conocerlo is GET to know, and she was like ....... uh....... sure.........? So I want to say, me largo de aquí, huele a pescado or something like that. But I bet huele a pescado doesn't work huh? Gracias

"¿Estás segura..." if it was a girl. "a fortune-teller"= una adivina/un adivino, un/una clarividente. "Me largo/me voy de aquí, algo me huele mal" - 002067fe, May 15, 2011
Well, that's the answer. ¿Pero por qué no la pusiste como respuesta, Tom? - Gekkosan, May 15, 2011

Tom answered the part about "smells fishy".

In this case, you could say either "¿quieres conocer tu futuro?" (which is close to "do you want to learn your future?"), or "¿quieres saber tu futuro?" (do you want to know your future?).

Either works, depending on what exactly you mean. The end result is the same.
