She Lied To Her Mom And Dad About How She Really Met The Guy She’s Currently Dating
A 26-year-old woman got out of a really bad relationship 3 months ago. After that, she moved in with her mom and dad in order to be able to save up some cash.
As soon as her relationship came to a close, her mom and dad were all over her about no longer using dating apps to meet guys.
She has historically relied on dating apps to meet men, as she isn’t from an area where she can easily meet guys, and her last few relationships haven’t been that great.
Her parents fully blame the dating apps, and she did see where they were coming from.
“However, I live in a smallish town that doesn’t really have a good nightlife scene, so there aren’t really any places to meet people,” she explained.
“The closest nightlife area would probably be 40ish minutes away, meaning you’d have to get a hotel if you are looking to drink.”
Her dad suggested that she reach out to her friends to see if they knew any nice guys for her, but she doesn’t have a lot of friends, and her friends don’t interact with a lot of guys.
Regardless of her dismal options, she did relent and she signed into one of her dating apps in order to delete it when something caught her eye.
Right there, under a mile from her home, was a pretty cute guy that she swiped on. It was a match, and he quickly sent her a message.

She felt an instant connection with him, and he invited her out on a date the very next evening. She let her mom and dad know that she was hanging out with her friend as a cover, and she went on a date with this guy.
The date was excellent, and she went on a second date with him before he had to leave their town for a quick trip for work.
When he gets home, he wants to take her out again. Since things with him were going so great, she revealed to her mom and dad that she was seeing someone.
Instead of telling her mom and dad the truth about how she met this guy, she lied and said she met him through work. She eventually decided to come clean to her mom, and tell her how she really met this guy. She felt terrible about having lied in the first place and she wanted to make things right.
Initially, her mom took the news well, but the following morning, her mom was furious with her and accused her of lying about other things.
“She told me my dad is gonna be more hurt than anything that I lied to them,” she said. “I know it was dumb and immature, but I felt like my back was against a wall…”
She couldn’t see her mom and dad accepting that she met this guy on a dating app, so that’s why she didn’t tell them the truth.
“I also feel like they think because I’m living under their roof again, they can tell me how to live my life,” she added.
Do you think she should have been honest from the get-go with her mom and dad about how she met this guy, knowing they wouldn’t approve?
