Have you ever noticed when you ask a girl her name her first instinct is to say, “I have a boyfriend”?
That flips the script instantly. Now you are the one scrambling to explain yourself. Now you are on the defensive. Not a pretty sight.
Well, today I was talking to this female bartender when she hit me with the classic, “What sort of work do you do?”
I looked at her and said, “Sorry, I’m not looking for a girlfriend.”
The shock on her face was priceless. Suddenly she was the one backpedaling. She was the one trying to explain herself. She was the one scrambling to recover. It was a beautiful reversal.
You should try it yourself one day. Flip the script and watch the panic set in.
