9 lies ladies tell on a first date

Guys, would you like to know some of the things ladies lie about on a first date?

Ladies always want to be on their best behaviour when meeting someone for the first time. So, of course, the chance of squeezing in a little white lie to impress her date is almost inevitable.

The lie: “It was so nice meeting you.”

The truth: This is the polite thing to say after spending two hours with you and nearly falling asleep while all you talked about was yourself, so I will say that so I can get to my car faster.

The lie: “Let’s do this again some time.”

The truth: Maybe in 2165. I should have some time that year and god knows I can’t wait to hear more of your cool racist jokes again.

The lie: “Here’s my phone number.”

The truth: FYI, sometimes it doesn’t work/I throw it into a river on purpose. So I might not pick up but totally take it because I’m too afraid to tell you I never want to talk to you again.

The lie: “I’m really busy this week.”

The truth: Also, please don’t ask me what I’ll be busy doing. I’ll mostly just be praying that you don’t text me and hoping I can go out with someone I actually like at some point in the next 20 years. I’ll be busy with that one for a while.

*Laughs at jokes that was not funny at all because you stared at me like if I didn’t laugh you’d cry. But truly it was a terrible joke.

The lie: “Tell me more about your love of waterskiing.”

The truth: I’m asking because I really wonder and not because I have no idea what else to talk to you about because you haven’t said anything in five minutes.

The lie: “Yes, Star Wars is the greatest movie of all time, totally.”

The truth: I mean, it has almost no women in it at all and I saw it when I was, like, 10 but you seem really happy to talk about it so, sure. It’s great.

The lie: “I just came from work!”

The truth: Definitely didn’t stop somewhere to do my makeup. From 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. my makeup always stays in place and looks perfect and I definitely also always wear this much. Of course. Absolutely.

The lie: “These heels are actually super comfortable for walking.”

The truth: No, my feet aren’t numb from the pain. I could definitely keep walking around after dinner even though you did not tell me we’d be walking for miles so I wore stilettos. This is so great.
