SHE: "Hey can i borrow a £1"
ME: "If your a nice person i might lend you one" *smile*
SHE: "I am a nice person (something along those lines)"
ME: "Oh ok, can you lend me a pound then"
SHE: (Reply) Which will probably be a negative one since she knows that i wont give her one and she doesnt care about me so she will just want to go on and ask the next guy that walks past.
ME: "See, i knew you wernt a nice person" *smile*
I think this has got a few problems with it;
1) I don't think she is guaranteed to get it
2) I think she would walk away rather than try to validate herself (it's perhaps too a little blunt and doesn't open up the possibility of her validating herself)
3) I think the first response lowers your value and even though the there is a twist - it is too pulled out
4) It seems far too thought out - its not spontaneous enough
Personally I like

or something of that form. It's clever, its quick and it encourage her to validate herself because of its open form.
