Should
I tell him I lied about my age?
Dear
Coco,
My
free
profile wasn't getting much attention, so I changed one detail
(I subtracted eight years from my age) and started having better
luck. My question is this: Should I tell the people I meet the truth,
and if so, when? Should I wait until we are in a relationship?
Dating
Dilemma
Dear
Dilemma,
You
can't lie your way to true love. In the first place, you're going
to attract the wrong Romeos -people who are looking for partners
younger than you. When those would-be suitors learn the truth, you
will be exposed as a liar, and whatever trust exists between you
will be destroyed. Personal ads are tough and hard to get right,
but that's no excuse for doing it wrong.
Start
again from the beginning. You can come up with several fresh ways
to say you are youthful or appear to be younger than your years,
but better yet, honor the fact that you have other virtues. Tout
those loud enough and you are sure to find someone who will listen.
