Make out that the phone call is nothing important and you couldn’t careless.

But wait, after you quickly glance at the screen and you see a familiar number showing up and you almost gasp in amazement!

Please make sure not to show your blank phone screen to your date, so I would suggest that you curl the phone with your hand.

This is acceptable since when in public we have a natural tendency to ‘hide’ what we are doing from the prying eyes of the public.

If you are a New York resident, this act is very convincing and works perfectly well, for example the long subway ride in a busy train to Long Island when you are texting.

As you look on in horror and amazement you gasp “Oh my God, its my friend Zaraan, she finally broke up with Joshua”.

Notice the use of names that are not in our every day vocabulary for example John and Karen.

Use exotic names because this makes you sound better and your date will think you have very interesting friends.

Notice also, we added the words ‘she finally…’ because the choice of words is also very important.

The fact that your friend just didn’t simply broke up but in fact it was something waiting to happen for a long time.

When it did happen, POWWW! the whole of New York shook. This is very convincing to your other date, who up to now is not only following your act but fixated by it.

This naturally leads you to the next part of the act with much more conviction and force.

“She is going to be devastated and I am worried that she will do something foolish”.

You should now be patting yourself on the back for coming up with such a beautiful and creative line.

Ask yourself, who on earth would not believe you now.

Of course the next line is a progression towards the next but it’s all coming out incredibly natural to you and your other date still has no idea or clue.

‘It’s not like her to text me this way”, you say.

Again, you have done yourself proud, you are now almost a director, playwright, producer all wrapped up in one.

Let me take it up another notch you say, since you are having so much fun and your quiet admirer is gazing at you helplessly from the other side of the dinner table.

“Zaaran is such an introverted person, sometimes I never know what is going with that head of hers”, you say.

As you speak, you also tense your face just a tiny bit to portray a sense of worry and anxiety.

Your mind starts thinking again and you need to make this act work for you.

You pause for a second and look at your man again, almost as though you are asking for his opinion.

Since you are a very polished and a highly sophisticated woman when it comes to social encounters, you wait for a momentary second before you start to speak again.

Wait, it seems your date does indeed has something to say.

“I hope she is going to be all right”.

Exactly the kind of response you were expecting and your neurons start firing again.

“Yes, I hope so too, but as I said she can be unpredictable”.

After you delivered the line to your facing partner, you think to yourself, “oh man, this could be going into a protracted conversation, exactly the opposite of what I wanted”.

The whole Zaaran/Joshua story is becoming too real for you and your partner.

As much as you want to do your play-acting, you want to close the door soon and be on your way.

In an instant moment you say to yourself, “how long can I really go with this, it would be real good test of my character and in any case if the final decision of going were left up to him, you have just done a double whammy!

Oh, the charms of being a woman you thought.
