When it comes to dating, I've become very jaded. I've dated some real jerks. The guy I dated briefly over the summer really hurt my feelings. I fell for the guy and as soon as I did, he was gone. Just vanished. Now he's been emailing me every now and then. He says he is coming back and wants to see me because he is apparently away working doing humanitarian work in another country. While I would commend anybody doing that type of work, I don't think he's actually in another country. I don't think he actually ever left. It's a really elaborate lie but he lives in another city so it would be easy to pull off.

 

 

I guess my questions would be, why go through such great lengths to lie? Isn't it easier to just be honest then try to keep up with the lie?

Why do people lie in general? You might as well as what the meaning of life is. But what I can tell you about those who regularly lie to others about anything and everything is this : 1) Those who regularly lie to others are extroverted people, and 2) Their primary priority in life is to have a good impression on other people. Think on it about this guy and others who you know have a reputation for lying to others.

 

 

As for your situation with this man, you know that he is lied in the past. You doubt that he is actually in another country doing charity work like he said he was. Why is he trying to contact you again? Because he wants to bag it, tag it and give it cab fare. You're the IT. I know how hard it is not to be weak and give in, because you yourself are lonely. But don't be weak, CUT HIM OFF. He will only continue to take advantage of you if you do.
