I must be the most naive of the person, but I've always thought: why lie in your first date with a potential partner?
Unless you want just a night in bed, if the relationship goes well the other half will find out you are a liar.
Not a good start. 😇

"For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd;" - Richard II (A3, S2) #ShakespeareSunday

That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
