People lie
by nature. Not all people tell big, bad lies. But enough people tell little
lies for them to add up to one big one. Living a lie, you might say.
Certainly
lies have their use, such as in the courtroom, or to get you out of going on a
date when you’d rather be home picking your nose in front of the television (or
fireplace, in my case). Rather than hurt a date’s feelings, I have a convenient
Top 50 Easiest Lies List I refer to
from time to time. I don’t think anyone’s on to me yet, so let me impart just a
few:
1)
“I didn’t see your text.”
2)
“I didn’t have my phone all day.”
3)
“My voicemail is full.”
4)
“I’ve changed my e-mail address.”
5)
“I was out of town.”
6)
“My kids were sick, and I mean puking
everywhere.”
7)
“I had a major deadline at work.”
8)
“I love your haircut.”
9)
“Your father is a nice man.”
10)
“I’m unemployed and can’t afford dinner.”
11)
“I already saw that movie.”
12)
“I just turned 21.”

13)
“I’ll never love again.”
Harmless,
right? In small quantities, dating lies serve many purposes. The problem lies
(that’s not a pun) in the gradual spreading of lies throughout your day, lies seeping
in through the cracks and pervading all else. Before you know it, you are an
expert liar. Lying is dating skill that will first kill any relationship, then
kill you.
I’m not
lying. Watch your back.
