First Date Lies It Okay To Tell

When it comes to first dates, it's easy to try to hard to be ourselves that we forget the big pictures. But remember; first dates usually play out like job interviews, but with better lighting.

And just as you would fib in a job interview that your last boss was awesome but you needed to do something new, there are also some lies it's okay to tell on first dates as well.

I NOTICED YOU RIGHT AWAY

You probably didn't even know they were alive until they bumped right into you, but you want to flatter them and make them feel like you really, really want to be there, so why not make them feel like gold?

You don't have to drown yourself in the lie, but do make them feel like the attraction isn't just one-sided if you think that the date might actually go somewhere.

I LOVE LIFE

Perhaps life has been taking a crap on you of late, but the last thing anyone wants is to go on a date with Debbie Downer, so put on a smile and be positive about life.

You don't have to go into detail about how wonderful things are, but do try to see the positive in the things that are going on around you or there's a good chance that this date will not turn into a second date.

IPHONE IS WAY BETTER THAN BLACKBERRY

If your date is obsessed with something that you really don't give a crap about, like say, their phone, why not just agree with their assessment and be done with it? There's a good chance that if you disagree with them, they will go on and on about it.

So your best bet is to take their side and move on to something that you really take an interest in. Unfortunately, they might pull the same thing on you.

WOW, WE REALLY THINK ALIKE

Perhaps your date keeps finishing your sentences and getting it wrong, or maybe they nailed one thing and that made you feel so good, either way, everyone loves to hear that their thought process resembles that of someone they like.

Maybe you think that they don't really get you, but perhaps making such a comment will make them really want to try harder.

IM HAVING A GREAT TIME

Okay, so maybe the time you're having is mediocre, but it looks like your date is actually loving your time together. Do you really want to break their heart and tell them you're having an "okay" time? Of course not.

Of course, you don't want to give them false hopes, but if you truly like this person but the setting just isn't working, that really isn't their fault, so try to be as upbeat about it as you can.

IT WAS SO NICE TO MEET YOU

Perhaps you're certain that this isn't going to work out and they're never going to see you romantically again, but telling someone that it was nice to meet them doesn't translate into a night cap and bacon in the morning, does it (bacon, is there anything it can't do?)?

Just be polite, say it was nice to meet the person and be on your merry way.
