Errrm… you’ve ‘denied’ it to her so far. What are you gonna do, go back and give her more time to confirm that she does indeed know you — so you can either squirm and deny it even less credibly or yiu can squirm and tell her you lied??
If you
deny it again, you are no longer just ‘playing the game’ you are tantamount calling her a liar.
If you
acknowledge it, you have to admit you lied to her before, not a great start as you unwillingly accept her into your new neighbourhood circle of associates!
If she were professional in all the good ways — and clever enough
— she might continue the double facade into real life. But you’ll by then maybe feel the pressure when she asks you for a ‘favour’ one day. And if she were
that fucking clever and professional
I hardly think she would have acknowledged ‘knowing’ you to your face in the first place. Might be ignorance on her part — living in a happy little world where punting and prostitution are perfectly respectable things as everybody should know. (Hope everyone else you know does!)
But look. Only you have all the intertwined desires, expectations, insights, and subliminal impressions. Whatever you do you have live with it. She’s cute. In best case scenario, unlikely but possible, you become ‘friends’ until it’s clear that your real lives don’t mesh and the relationship fades away gently, hopefully never re-awakened by a slip of her tongue or too public friendliness. How lucky do you feel?? It’s not exactly a case of EAS you have just now, is it, but you could maybe think of it like that. “Oooo she’s kinda special!”
No she’s fucking not! Good luck.
