I've been to mexico. In mexico I met a celebrity. It seems impossible to spin a story with this without it seeming like I'm trying too hard and/or bragging. So how do you do it?

I read your post. I hate to not say anything, but I honestly don't know. It seems like almost any name dropping is just bragging. Regardless of the words you wrap around it. And if you are going to name drop then you might as well be like, "Oh my God, I was in Mexico recently and you won't guess who I bumped into down there...."

my english is not that good but if i understand right. you wanna try DHV.

this can be little things.. like in a cafe.. just when your in a conversation you grab her hand and just say "hold this for a second" that is kino + DHV becuase she is holding it..

along the conversation a friend passes by.. loose all intrest in the girl and talk to your friend.. he comes on #1 and then the girl...

Lets take a look at what bragging is

Dictionary.com

- to boast

boast = to speak with exaggeration and excessive pride, esp. about oneself.

EXCESSIVE* being the key word.

If you do it once? Whos to say your bragging? Unless your saying some shit like "woah look at my muscles, look how hot i am" that type of shit. Bad news there.

Usually ill DHV, tell a story, or of an experience w/e then wait for her to respond...to see how she takes it. usually they will join in on the topic and share their own experience or knowledge to what you just mentioned. When you need to stop and try something else is when they give a basic response back to what you said, that means they are not interested at all or have no knowledge of what your talking about(not always a bad thing, not everyone knows about everything)
