So that they can't think
[ Commecial break - my brain is tired from too much brainstorming this week so I will take a different turn for this post ]Was there ever a time that you wanted to get a truthful answer from someone? Here's a style.
Ask a question where the answer is expected.
If you don't get a reply within the expected amount of time (usually 5 seconds), then the answer is not your expected reply.
Let's site some examples:
A girl asks her boyfriend - "Do you love me?" and he doesn't answer a "yes" on-cue, he probably doesn't (anymore).
[Ask the same question to your girlfriend - if she doesn't answer, she's probably seeing someone else]
When you order someone to do a task at work within a period of time, to know if he's/she's done, ask "have you finished?"
[ if they don't reply positively immediately, or they're making excuses or muttering, most definitely they ain't ]
Even better. Ask your girlfriend (you suspect to be two-timing)
"Are you seeing him?" ( your guess of the correct reply is as good as mine )
Take note that the "expected reply" to a question may not be necessarily a "yes" or "no".
The secret behind this principle is that everything that is proper and correct doesn't cause your brain to function. You don't need to conjure a good excuse because you're telling the truth. And well, the nice thing about the truth is it's usually natural. But just because it is natural means that's is easy to accept.
Use this method with caution though. You can only try this on people whom you are close with. You'll end up offending a casual friend if you try this on them. Unless... you really mean to want to be close to them, you're going to have to start from somewhere right? =)
