Easy pull

Scene: today somewhere in Zürich. A friend and I approach a place, I see a guy and tap him on the shoulder "fancy a drink this evening?". He responds "yes, when and where?", I tell him. Guy 1 looks at me in awe, and finally says: "easy pull, huh?". Here's when I should've told him I've never seen the guy in my life, but instead I'm brutally honest. Sometimes I really wanna shoot myself. And yes, I knew the guy from before. Ended up having a brill evening so in the end who cares?
