Why would he lie?

[berryberry44]

My boyfriend of 6 months has a habit of telling stupid lies.
Tonight I've been out for a meal and drinks with good friend.
Text him at 5pm saying I was waiting for my taxi.
He replied saying he was waiting for his friend to pick him up and they were going to the pub.
Then I text him asking how pub was and he said he was at "pub name" and having fun.
He was still at home because he left his location on.
He never left the house.
Why lie and pretend your going out with friends?
He always try's to big himself up and it drives me mad.

You say he has a habit of it, so you know he does it.

You text him twice, while getting ready & when out.

I wouldnt bother ever again

How do you know he lied and it wasn't just a mistake on the app? My phone often has me as being in the next village along.

Do you think he just felt boring and made something more exciting up?

Yes, bloody hell, maybe he made up a more exciting eve to make himself seem more attractive to you.

Stop checking his location!
