Women always lie about having a boyfriend even when they don’t. It’s like their imaginary security guard. The tougher their imaginary boyfriend, the more certain you can be that this broad is single. I’ve met women who claimed their boyfriends were cops, military, firemen, bouncers, you name it.
One time I met an Asian girl who told me her boyfriend was a famous Thai Mixed Martial Artist. When she proudly dropped his name, it sounded familiar. I quickly said, “That guy is good. I’ve seen him fight. He always has a few hot girls around him when he walks to the ring.”
Her face changed. Because I knew her imaginary protector had other interests. Little did she know, I was lying too. And why not? I love bursting their bubble.
Anyway, I told her I was a partner in a huge chain of NYC restaurants. Truth be told, I just knew one of the general managers. I piled on lie after lie about the business I didn’t own, told her I wanted to take her to one of ‘our’ most fancy restaurants for a meal she wouldn’t forget.
She was hesitant to give me her number, but soon enough, the lure of fine dining broke her. She got real excited imagining herself in that upscale restaurant. When she wrote the last digit, I told her I would call her for a double date with my girlfriend and her boyfriend. Suddenly, she started backpedaling. Her boyfriend was in town, he wasn’t friendly, and besides, she thought the date was just the two of us. I told her it wouldn’t be right to take her out without her loved one.
Anyway, I walked off and told her I’d call. I didn’t. I saw her face as I left. It was the look of someone who just lost a rich fish for an imaginary one.
