If you ever receive a dubious excuse from a girl who has cancelled a date at the last second, the best reply is an ambiguous one that could be interpreted as either sarcastic disbelief or sincere sympathy. For example,
GIRL: Sorry I can’t make it! My grandma fell and can’t get up. I have to take her to the hospital.
YOU: wow
That’s it. The insidious beauty of this one word reply is that, in the event her excuse was genuine, your muted exclamation can easily fill in as a plausible expression of condolence. If she’s lying, she’ll be psychologically self-groomed to interpret your “wow” as a jerkboy dismissal, and your value to her as a sexual being will go up.
“wow” is a great all-purpose ambiguous message that can springboard into all sorts of flirty conversation.
YOU: wow
GIRL: You don’t believe me? No really my grandma fell.
YOU: ok. say hi to grandma for me.
or…
YOU: wow
GIRL: don’t be such an asshole.
YOU: wow that sucks. I hope she feels better.
You can really screw with a girl’s head if you’re familiar with the art of ambiguity.
