Bluffing, in this case, is not “eh are you bluffing me?<\/i>” but the art of pretending to look smarter than you are.<\/p>\n
Case 1<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n Ever bumped into a familiar person and forgot his\/her name? No problem!<\/p>\n You<\/b>: What’s up duuude?<\/i> You then go into conversation, as if you greeted the person by name<\/b>. Well even if you don’t remember their name, you remember where you’ve met them and what you’ve done together, right?<\/p>\n Whatever you do, do not start with:<\/p>\n You<\/b>: Heyyyyy I know you!<\/i> (This line just reeks of “I forgot your name!<\/i>“-ness.)<\/p>\n It’s even easier when you’re with a friend. Do not introduce them to each other – let them introduce themselves<\/b>. Then, as you go on separate paths, you say, “See ya (name withheld)!<\/i>”<\/p>\n Case 2<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n A person is looking at you with that expression that says that you’re familiar, but you don’t recognize him\/her.<\/p>\n You<\/b>: Heyyy! Do I know you from somewhere?<\/i> (Yes, get his\/her hopes up and act.) By then he\/she would have walked away, embarrassed.<\/p>\n Case 3<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n You recognize the person, but you’re not sure that it’s him\/her.<\/p>\n You<\/b>: Heyyy! Do I know you from somewhere?<\/i> (Pretend that you’re sure<\/b> it’s him\/her.)<\/p>\n There are two cases:<\/p>\n (Familiar person)<\/b>: Yeah! I know you from…<\/i> (You should rejoice and know what to do then.)<\/p>\n The second case:<\/p>\n (Familiar person)<\/b>: Er… no?<\/i> Do not run off embarrassed.<\/p>\n Whatever it is, do not greet the familiar person by name<\/b>. Don’t go, “Heyyy aren’t you (insert wrong name)?<\/i>” If it’s not him\/her, you will look like a fool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bluffing, in this case, is not “eh are you bluffing me?” but the art of pretending to look smarter than you are.
