What lies or embellishments did you tell when dating?

I told DH that I smoked less than I did. I was trying to quit and I think in one way I was lying more to myself, but yeah, it was a lie. Thank goodness he stayed with me when he found out. I think he stayed because he knew I was trying to quit and I didn't smoke around him unless we were at a bar (and after we moved to this area in 2003 we didn't go out dancing as much). It took me years, but I finally quit September 2005 and haven't had one since.

sort of on-topic, but I think it so stupid when people lie so much on dating websites. The goal is NOT to get dates, the goal is to have good dates/relationships. So when you use an old photo or lie about your age or weight, you are only going to have horrible dates. What I did (I'm a guy) was be as honest as possible, and totally undersell my looks, job, etc. And I had AWESOME online dates. Amazingly successful actually. Oh, the good old days ...
