The 10 Most Transparent Lies People Tell On First Dates

“Dating is like trying on shoes. Sometimes you have to try a lot before you find the right fit.” — Unknown

First dates are not dates. First dates are job interviews with better lighting and more lying.

Nobody is their real self on a first date. First date is a theatre performance. Everyone is acting. Everyone is editing their personality. Everyone is hiding their weird habits like it’s a criminal record.

And the lies — the lies are so transparent you can see through them like a public toilet door.

The most popular first date lie is: “I’m very easygoing.”

No, you’re not. Nobody who says they are easygoing has ever been easygoing. Easygoing people don’t need to announce it like a company slogan. What you mean is: “I am easygoing until things don’t go my way, then I become a Netflix documentary.”

Then comes the classic: “I don’t really use social media.”

But somehow you replied my message in 2 minutes, saw my Instagram story from 2018, and accidentally mentioned a photo I posted during Hari Raya three years ago. Yes, very believable. CIA should hire you.

Then there is the health lie: “I’m trying to eat healthy now.”

Trying. The most flexible word in the English language. Trying can mean going to the gym. Trying can also mean thinking about going to the gym while eating fried chicken. First date always salad. Third date, suddenly nasi lemak, burger, boba, everything come out.

Then the career lie: “I’m very passionate about my job.”

No, you’re not. You are passionate about salary day. There is a difference. If you were truly passionate about your job, you wouldn’t be checking your phone every 6 minutes hoping it’s Friday.

Then comes my favorite lie: “I’m not really looking for anything serious right now.”

This one got many meanings. It can mean: “I’m still thinking about my ex.” “I want attention but not responsibility.” “I want the benefits of a relationship without the work.” Or the classic: “I want to keep my options open in case someone better comes along.”

Honesty is rare. Creative wording is everywhere.

Then there is the personality lie: “I’m a very honest person.”

People who are honest don’t need to advertise it like a used car salesman. Imagine a guy walks up to you and says, “Hello, you can trust me.” Immediately you hold your wallet tighter.

Then the hobby lie: “I love traveling.”

Listen carefully. Loving travel and loving holiday are two different things. Travel means planning, waking up early, walking a lot, getting lost, learning culture. Holiday means hotel buffet and taking photos for Instagram. Most people don’t love traveling. They love escaping their job.

Then comes the financial lie: “I’m not a materialistic person.”

Everyone says this until someone mentions salary, car, house, and suddenly the interview becomes very serious. “Materialistic” is a bad word. So people say “I just want stability.” Stability with BMW.

Then the past relationship lie: “All my exes were crazy.”

If one ex is crazy, maybe bad luck. If all exes are crazy, I have bad news for you. The common denominator in all your relationships is… you.

And finally, the biggest lie on first dates: “I’m just being myself.”

No, you’re not. You are being your best behavior representative. Your real self will only appear later — when you are tired, sick, stressed, hungry, jealous, annoyed, or trying to decide where to eat.

That’s when the real personality comes out. First date is marketing. Relationship is customer service. Marriage is technical support.

First dates are funny because both people are trying to impress each other while pretending they are not trying to impress each other. It’s a polite competition of who can look the most normal.

So if you go on a first date and everything sounds perfect, be careful. Nobody is perfect. You are not meeting the real person yet.

You are meeting their highlight trailer.

The full movie comes later.
