I have a very guilty conscience so I have trouble lying. But one time a little while ago my crush and my ex (who I'm friends with) both suggested television shows for me during a conversation about the fact that I was out of ideas after finishing classic Doctor Who. So I ended up trying both shows because they both seemed interesting and I really loved them both.
But I ended up telling them that I only watched the show my crush suggested because I wanted him to see that he had priority (to be fair, I did try his first). So now my ex keeps trying to get me to watch the show he thinks I haven't seen even though I already saw the entire first season. But I want to finish my crush's show before I pretend to start my ex's show. I just tell my ex that I'll get around to it eventually.
So yeah, guilt. Never lie.
I've stretched the truth to make myself sound better before. Like I am not that much of an anime freak, but I've acted like one before to impress a guy ( I know a little bit about Naruto so I've talked about it before even though I've never actually seen it).
I've never actually lied though. I have just made it seem like I'm more interested in certain things than I actually am
No I have never lied to impress anyone. I have lied to save my ass but that's a different story. My philosophy is if you can't accept me the way I am, I don't need you in my life. I think that way of friends and lovers. We all have flaws and mine make me a better me. If you have to lie to impress someone once, you have to always keep up with the charade. That's way too much stress
Yes I have stretched the trough before.
Once my crush told me where she worked so I told her that I was in the area on some business witch was BS and asked if she wanted to go and get some lunch together. I did it because I was afraid I'd scare her off too fast by coming to her just for lunch so I stretched the trough a little. :)
(this is just the latest one)
It's so hard to be truthful when you want them to be impressed or proud, ANYTHING to get them to like you. ;____;
I lied about finishing college and becoming a professional in programming. Fact is, I dropped out of school before ever going that far...

when I was young and inexperienced I would tweak certain things to make myself sound better to my crush that I liked, I guess I was trying too hard I just really wanted to impress him. but it was harmless I would never lie about major things its not worth it cause it can come back and bite you in the ass who wants to take that risk?!
Yes. About my sexual and relationship experience. I am a virgin and have only been in one relationship but many people don't believe it when I tell them because of my personality. Also a lot of girls doný seem to like being more experinced than the guy they are seeing or to date an inexperienced guy in general. I lied once to a girl I dated and I hated it. Any lie is just terrible and I need to learn to be not ashamed about being a virgin and a relatively inexperienced guy
The way I see it though is the truth always has a way coming out. I think everyone has either stretched or exaggerated the truth in everyday life at one point or another and to deny that would be a joke because there isn't anyone who is perfect
No, lies are terrible - in such situation you just screw over that person you like, as eventually when they'll find it out they'll be disappointed, first - 'coz you're not what you pretended to be, second - you don't respect them by lying to them
Well, I am a horrible liar so no, I have not lied. However, I have held back on some information that I didn't want to share. Unless of course they prompt me for an answer. Then I just go ahead and tell them like it is.
I told a girl once that I've seen all the Twilight and Harry Potter movies ... Big f***in mistake I tell ya
No I've never lied but I have withheld information before. This is mostly because it takes me time to trust people. I tend to withhold the reason why it has taken me so long to go back to school which was due to a few years of deep depression where I didn't get anything done. I was seeing a psychiatrist during this time too. I'm good now but I feel telling someone this too early might give them the wrong idea.
I don't lie, because I'd rather she know from the start, that way she can either agree to deal with it or look for someone else - it prevents us both from wasting our time.
No, I have never lied to a girl to impress her but I have avoided telling the truth in some instances.
I am guilty...I have lied. I always fess up and face the consequences.
Never had the impulse to lie and I have been given a very stern moral code about lying, so no I have not.
No. I am not good at lying. Besides, you either like me or you don't. What irritates me is if someone thinks I have a hidden agenda.
No.i lied to make someone stop talking to me before lol
I've never directly lied, but I have implied certain things, faked interests, and stretched the truth a little.
The only thing I have ever lied about is whether or not I liked a particular movie or something.
hmmm trying to remember, but I think I may have lied about having sex so I would appear like I'm experienced. sounds like something I would do in my youth, just can't remember a specific event.
No, I always introduce myself in a bit of bad light. When they realize that I'm better than that, everybody loves me more.
Absolutely not. Whenever I've been interested in someone, I've just been myself. However, I have made them feel as if I didn't like them to protect my own feelings-sadly at the expense of their own. Never again.
I tell the truth even when I lie
My crush is from Macedonia and I told him i have a bestfriend from Macedonia (but i actually dont) i said that only to make him impressed lmao because he likes his country a lot
