They were both emotional bait and also lies that painted a false story of her being a college student. I guess she was 20 and Indian and intelligent so it would be strange if she wasn’t in college, but she’d make up very specific lies, unprovoked, about people in her nonexistent classes, stuff her professor told her, exam dates, etc. I wouldn’t even ask her about anything college.
The emotional bait was like suggestive, like she’d tell me most guy friends would have hit on her by now, and she’d also dress up extra nice when we met up and all made up. We’d be walking along a beach and she’d have heels on. This behavior confused me as I told her early and up front to “let’s just be friends”. It might have confused her too.
After I found out about her lies this all made more sense.
