When you're in a relationship or pursuing one, how often do you lie? personally I never do because I think the other person deserves more than that but I was wondering if anyone has ever done this
Update: So for the people who said yes, what kinds of things do you lie about?

Honestly I can't lie, if someone looks me in the face and asks me something, I can't lie. I don't know why it's just always been something about me. I can withhold certain pieces of information, and I can lie on the phone, but I can't lie to someone in person. Anyways, sometimes white lies or leaving things out are necessary. I do it when I feel I have to, I just hope that I'm not asked directly about something that I don't want out, because if I am than I'm in trouble, because I can't keep it in. My biggest problem is that you can read it all over me that I'm lying and I feel like I'm going to puke.
I see no reason to lie because well there really isn't a reason for it and it'll catch up with you anyways and the person that your in a relationship needs to be able to trust you . Then again everyone tales those little white lies and that's not all that big of deal as long as you don't tell a lie about something big then it's okay.
they need to know they can trust you, and if you tell the truth then you don't have to remember what you said. be honest. your true self. that is what a relationship is about.
I try to be as honest as possible. Sometimes I sort of withhold certain information until I know someone better, because I've learned that certain things can give someone a bad impression of me. (For example, my last boyfriend told me after we broke up that one of the main reasons he originally wanted to date me was because I had talked to him about how fast my last boyfriend and I moved in the relationship and he thought it was "his chance" to, as they say, "get some.") I sometimes fudge a little bit, but only harmless things for the purpose of flirting.
To be honest I can't believe anyone could say with 100% truth they have NEVER lied in a relationship with someone or pursuing someone, even with little things that have no bearing on the relationship. I think its important to be honest with who you are but to say that you have never lied would take it a little far.
I can say with 100% certainty that I've never lied. I don't know why but it's just something I've always done - 2 months ago

I don't want to get into an argument where it will never end but I don't believe that someone has NEVER lied. But hey that's just my opinion I could be wrong but It's something that I believe is true. - 2 months ago

No I don't stretch the truth either, I am incredibly brass if someone asks me something, even if it's an answer someone doesn't want to hear, I don't bullshit them I tell them what I think. - 2 months ago
If I honestly care for the person and have respect for them, then I will not lie to them. There are some people who lie to prevent from hurting other people's feelings, but when the person finds out about that lie, then what was really the purpose of telling that particular white lie?
