Assume that someone were to ask you whether you're married or still single.

Most people would just be honest and tell the truth. But some would be more secretive. I'm sure you're aware that there is a variety of tactics you can adopt in your response.

Anyway, let's go through some tactics below…

1. Elegant Silence Tactic

Q : Are you married or still single?

A : ..................................(none)


2. Tactic to lie

Q : Are you married or still single?

A : I'm single lah. Never married before

3. Tactic to mislead

Q : Are you married or still single?

A : Now I'm single lah

4. Telling the Truth

Q : Are you married or still single?

A : My wife and I are already separated for some time. Not officially divorce yet. So I guess you can say that I'm single now because we're separated

5. Tactic to distract

A : Did you hear about Siti Nurhaliza and Dato' K getting married?

6. Tactic to cloud the issue

7. Tactic to delay

A : What about you? Are you still single yourself?

9. Tactic to act dumb

Q : Are you married or still single?

10. Tactic to walk-away

12. Tactic to send a hatchet man

Q : Are you married or still single?

A (a friend answers on your behalf) : Why do you want to ask him that question. Since you're a divorcee, I take it that you're interested in him. But sorry, I don't think he's interested in you. So please go and fly kite...
