So, I had a sit-down interview with a matchmaker last night, and I can only hope I made a favorable impression. Went to her house at night, talked about what I like to see in girls. She had a few in mind for me before I showed up, but narrowed it down to one by the end of the night.
Another matchmaker I am going through called me about a girl she had in mind. A funny thing happened during the conversation.
She gave me a call back after a long talk we had about backgrounds, education level, etc. that same night. She said that the family of the girl might recognize me if I ate by their house once. To confirm, the matchmaker asked me what my father did for a living.
I wasn't born yesterday. The family (and most likely NOT the girl) wanted to know the socioeconomic background of my family, and they pressed this sweet lady to ask a question she, in all likelihood did not want to ask.
So, what she does is think of a way to disguise the question so that I would in effect answer something else, none the wiser. She probably figures out I know why she asked, because without a pause, I answer back "what did they say my father does for a living?"
Mental fucking jujitsu!
She says "they didn't say"
So, I answer her question. Now they know, but they also know I know what they wanted to know.
