If you were on a date and the person asked you a question that you would feel embarrassed to answer truthfully, is it acceptable to lie?

Not really but it's perfectly OK to change the subject or give a vague answer. Watch politicians answer Qs; they say what they want to talk about regardless of what the Q was.

Not if you ever want to see the person again...

you really shouldn't because if you stay together you will have to come clean later its best to just be honest at first

of course it is acceptable to lie - some of my best relationships were based upon lies

It depends on the question. "Does my ass look too big?" No way! Your ass is perfect, I can barely keep my hands off it. That's a totally acceptable lie, even if her butt is not perfect for you.

Depends on the question. Can you give us an example?

 

Regardless, if it were me I would have some concerns lying outright if only out of fear that it might come back to bite me in the ass somehow (they always seem to in the end).

 

Instead, if there was something I'd prefer not to discuss or share I'd be more inclined to let my date know that it's not something I feel comfortable sharing right now OR I'd find a way to redirect the conversation.

The details are none of the other person's business. You give them a vague truthful answer: you had relationships in the past; they are over; you are free to date now; and you give them relevant details about your heath -- disease free & willing to take a test. Other than that you keep your mouth shut.

 

 

 

There is no reason to lie but there is also no reason to divulge details.
