Liar! Liar! Boots On Fire!

Saturday 9: Liar, Liar

1. What is the last "white" lie that you told?

I was chatting with an ex-boyfriend online - the second guy I semi-seriously dated after my divorce. We had a lot of heart-pounding breathless chemistry but in the long run, that's all we had. After we broke up, he quickly married someone else and divorced AGAIN. (That's me: She-Who-Sends-Men-Screaming-Into-Matrimony-Or-Insane-Asylums, but I digress). So, we're reminiscing about the good ole' days when we didn't know any better and our single lives hadn't gotten complicated yet, he hadn't married the wrong person yet AGAIN and we were just starting out in the land of mid-life dating. Anyway, he suddenly went tres nostalgic and I told him that our first date was the best first date I ever had. (something about boots and zippers and sleeping children upstairs made it all so tantalizing...but I digress). It was not true. But he wanted to trip down memory lane with my brown suede zip ups, his love life was in the latrine AGAIN and I didn't see the need to rearrange history. It WAS a great first date but not the best. Brace yourself for a rambling confession damn Baptist upbringing: When it was happening it WAS the best first date I ever had at the time (doesn't that count?) but then along came other dates with other people that were way and above the boot date night because I ended up falling in love with the REAL best-first-date-person and alas, it wasn't him, so I tenderly white-lied him.......sort of......didn't I?

Justification is my forte.
Next question!

2. Can you forgive a liar?

Depends on how fast (or slowly) he unzips my boots.


3. Do you tend to exaggerate or underestimate?

Hmmm..........intriguing question, Sam.
But really. I never underestimate the power of 3-inch heels and a pencil skirt memory.
Exaggerations are not needed.



4. Do you hold a grudge?

Time out for a serious answer:
No. When I forgive, I forgive.


5. What's the biggest lie you've ever told?

Truth be told, it was last night.
Again.
The guy in the other window said, "You have my undivided attention little cutie"....I felt so guilty that I was talking to boot-date-guy at the same time that I lost all track of common decency and told him he had mine as well. Well?? What else was I supposed to do?
Introduce them?!

I should never try to multi-task men.

6. Are there times that you feel that it is okay to lie?

Apparently so!

7. Did you ever end a relationship because of lies?
No. I've terminated "dating someone" because of lies (ie: oh! you accidentally sent your other girlfriend's email to ME by mistake. Shame on you!) - but never a relationship.

Email queenoffools @ yahoo.com for further details.
Only serious busybodies need apply.

8. Do you think you can tell when someone is lying to you?

Look me in the eyes again and ask that question, Dear Meme. I'm recovering from a wicked migraine and my royal focus is a tad off center. Things were so much easier before I became a transparently naive BlogQueen.

9. Have you been caught lying?

Not unless I got those two chat windows mixed up last night....

I am so going to hell.
