When a girl ask, "what do you do for a living?" What's a good indirect way to answer that? I hate that question, but you know it's inevitably going to come up in a first conversation with any girl over college age. If you dance around the question, she might think you work at some job you are ashamed of. But then answering it directly doesn't build any intrigue either.
I'm still trying to come up with a good one for this.
I've found that saying "I'm not allowed to discuss it" works, but I also am not legally allowed to discuss it, so it makes it an easy sell.
Laughter can also work. then I follow that up with something like "do you really wanna talk about work when there are so many other interesting things to talk about?"
