Why did he lie about his age?

Lizbeth22
So I met this guy and I was the first to talk to him on social media and you know I told him things like I wanted to be with him and stuff and if he wanted my number so I gave him my number then I told him my name and he told me his name and it was his real name. But when I told him my age which during the time I was 21 he told me he was 38 and I believed him. Which I found out he's actually 53. People told me and u know u can find someone with their number & name. So when I told him that I found out he was actually 53 he just gave out a little laugh saying ahaha no I'm 38. And I still believed him. But now that I know and he knows I know he tells me he told me that because he didn't know me and that he didn't have to tell me nothing. What do y'all think? He told me his real name but not his age. But why?
