"Killed a man with an ear of corn. Normally it would have been 20-to-life, but thanks to the Iowa Corn Treaty of 1855 I got probation. Good thing it happened on corn country."

"Global domination."

"I'm trying to work my way up to bench pressing, .... about YOU. Shall we try it? I'll lie down over there."

A girl I've hooked up with and I were talking on the phone the other day discussing a favor that she's doing for me. She had called me a couple times and I had not answered as I was out.

When I called her back I told her that I had just got home. The dialog went like this:

Me: Hey, missed your calls, just got home.

Her: No worries! What were you up to?

Me: Classified.

Pause

Her: Classified?

Me: Ya. Classified information.

Her: Oh I get it! Giggly/Nervous laughter

Then I changed the subject to what we had planned on discussing.

As /u/SkorchZang mentioned. Give a peak once in a while but don't give it all. This situation worked perfectly because she legitimately did not need to know what I was doing because it had no relevance to our plans or conversation.

If you constantly do this kind of thing it will either make her lose interest or she will question your character.

Balance is the key.

The more you're a closed book the better. But here's the thing, sometimes you open it and let her have a tiny peek. It needs to be unexpected, and take her imagination all kinds of (wrong) places. Never hurry to correct her (wrong) imaginings about you or stop this process by bringing her back to planet earth. The more she's wondering and constructing alternative narratives about you, the more she will be attracted to the man "she just can't figure out". This is something women can't help themselves with, and greatly enjoy. Don't spare the mystery and spoil the date.

With all the questions coming from her, try to ultimately adopt an attitude of laziness, evasive and even mocking, celebrity-like laziness. This is especially attractive for women in an insidious way she can't put her finger on. Because all the blue pill men she knows unconsciously seek to be "understood by their soul mate", they have no idea how to nurture mystery and paradox, they tell the woman all the facts upfront and act like they deserve a medal for that "honesty" shit... but end up boring her and driving her right into the arms of some asshole who's the opposite.
