A mutual friend and I were talking one day and I mentioned "Sean". He said, "His name is Kevin." I asked Kevin about it and why he never corrected me. His reply?<br/><br/>"Lots of people call me Sean." <br/><br/>Luckily some people aren't picky. But they are few and far between.<br/><br/>Bravo to Ben on his quick thinking.

“Lots of people call me Sean.”

Luckily some people aren’t picky. But they are few and far between.

Bravo to Ben on his quick thinking.

You both approach the "crush" and Ben strikes up a happy conversation. After a minute or two, you playfully hit Ben and turn to the chick with a smile and say "Ben's so rude sometimes- Hi, I'm Sarah." She, of course, will laugh and say "Hi, I'm Kristina." Then Ben smiles repentantly, apologizes, and you all walk happily into the sunset. Here’s the best play I’ve ever tried (two people required)(my ex and I had this down to a SCIENCE!):
