Dating: The lies we tell
Have you ever been excited over a potential romance, started to feel hopeful, and later discovered they were less then truthful about who they are? The lies we tell only come back to haunt us, so why do we lie so much!?
What should you do if you catch the person you are dating in a lie? Not a huge, disturbing lie – but something small, insignificant? Is that a sign of a bigger problem with truth telling?
I know a lot of guys think lying is a part of relationships. They believe in order to keep the peace, it’s better to leave things out, conceal the truth. It’s a simpler way of dealing with the complicated part of dating and relationships.
How much truth can we handle in dating? Is lying a necessary evil that we all have to contend with just so we can hook up?
Happy Monday!

@disco ~ I would never call a man I’m sleeping with “daddy.”
@ITL ~ if both are tied up and are having oral sex, the woman at least will have to have some very strong lip/suction/slurping action going on (lol).
Every time I hear Big Daddy, I hear Steve Harvey saying it!
