is it ok to lie about how long i have been single????

[snowwonder]

or do i just tell the truth and admit to 2 years?

Lie to whom ?

truth!

I don't think 2 years is anything to be ashamed or embarrassed about.

And if you are lying to a new potential partner, if it gets serious then you will get found out and that's no basis for a good relationship.

Good luck

is it anyone's business(sp?) but yours? then you wouldn't have to lie or let someone know.

sorry to a bloke....

ok will go for the truth....

thankyou

ok snowwoman, sorry i didn't understand properly. could i ask why the question came up?

I'd say tell the truth, can't see that it matters how long it as. Good luck

well i asked him how long he has been single and he told me 5 months, and asked how long i had been single.....

it is my thinking, that when you come out of a long term thing you need time to get over it, and not jump into somrthing else straight away - although thats works for some, (like my ex who gets married next week)

but i def needed time alone to re adjust, and accept things.....

i will go for the truth, and hope he doesnt think it is because no one else wants me, obviously in the 2 years i have had to turn plenty of lush men away!!!! (in my dreams)

you were just readjusting your standards maybe but i do agree that after coming out of a long relationship i too needed time to come to terms with things.

thanks fransmom good answer!!!!!!!!

i will go for it, if he soent like then move along for the next one

good for you

I don't think admitting to 2 years is a problem. It takes a while to get over a relationship and to readjust to your new life.

snowwonder, dont worry, i dont think 2 yrs is that long anyway - i am sure i will be alone for at least the next ten years..

tell the truth so you dont get caught out later..
hope he is a nice bloke? how did you meet?

I was on my own for almost 6 years!
I admitte dto it with bf but he knew I hadbeen single for years anyway.

I would tell the truth, definitely. I don't think 2 years is that long to be on your own.

thanks all

didnt put him off.....

he asked me out....... so i may be going on a date

Excellent!

thats ok quite like the name, my dd favourite baby at nursery is called Honey......

excellant yes, it feels very nice to be asked out!!! but VERY VERY scary.....

and i havent said yes yet

ah babe you gotta go!!!!!!!!!!!
