in Chit-Chat
If you started chatting to someone on an internet dating site and you found out they lied? You then confronted them, and their response was, "who doesnt lie on these sites?". Their profile said they dont have children and they do, also they said they are in the IT/ communications industry, and they work as a chef.

Would you continue chatting with them?

    No.

    Who wants to get into a relationship with someone that started lying from the start?

    dont waste any more of your time. Like Colie said, why would you wanna even talk to someone who has already proven a liar. Thats a red flag.

    I only use those sites when my skin suit starts to get worn out or gets a hole in it and I need a new one.

    I can see little white lies as ok.

    Maybe how much you make or a few pounds off your weight.

    But kids and and obviously unrelated job field...umm NO, I would not keep talking to this person.

    If it tickles your fancy though, I work in the IT field and don't have kids :laugh:

    those are significant lies, which they are trying to laugh off as commonplace... which should hint to you that there are more lies already told and yet to be told.

    I would tell you to run as fast as you can away from this relationship. I used to think that it is better to forgive people. If you stay in a relationship like this and it grows, you will find that you can never trust this person. There are and will be bigger issues that you will discover. If you stay here you will invest too much in this person to cut them off when the trust issues become unbearable. I'd just do it now.

    Not having children is a big thing to lie about. I understand that it's probably frustrating to get turned down by people just because they don't want kids, but presumably those kids are a big part of your life and you'd want the person you're dating to appreciate that, right?

    Also I don't get why they'd lie about being in IT instead of being a chef when CLEARLY being a chef sounds cooler. I'd move on if I were in this situation. Something feels off.

    Agreed - little white lies like weight or something, but Kids? Totally different field? Nope. Drop him fast and don't look back. Liars lie, and they don't stop.

    I think they do have a valid point - maybe not everybody, but you can expect a lot of either outright lying or embellishing of the truth on internet dating sites, so keep your truth-o-meter on high alert!

    Definitely not. Those are not "little white lies".

    I met my wife on an internet dating site. When we first started talking I fibbed about a few things. On the internet its hard to tell if you are going to make a long term connection with the person you are talking to so sometimes lies happen because you are embarrassed and don't know if you can trust the person with the truth. As soon as I realized my wife was going to be in my life for a while I came clean and she understood. Just my two cents
