Help, any liar experts?

Ok I know im in the wrong but if anyone can help me get out of this I;l be really grateful. Basically, call it an excuse if you like, but ive not got good social skills and never know what to say in conversation. I go to football and have lied to a team mate I told him I worked on a shoe stall in the mall and he asked which one so I made it up and he didn't know where I meant so I thought he'd leave it at that. Yesterday he said that he'd looked and that there was no stall where I said so I told him it was elsewhere and he said he would find me eventually. There are a few shoe stalls there but im scared he will ask the owner or something lol. Please help I don't him to know im a liar, I'l never lie again:redface:

Oh, the tangled web of lies you spin will only lead to complications and you'll slip up with the more lies you weave.

I don't know your motives for lying, but you may as well just be honest.

This is possibly one of the stupidest situations to ever be in. Why does he care? Why do you care? And why has he turned into a private detective to find out?

Just tell him you used to work at a shoe stall there but it got closed down, and that you are unemployed/a student or whatever and thought he was asking where you used to work. And then call him a gay for stalking you.

Or simply say to him "Hi, my name is Bob, and I work at my job, I make forty somethin' dollars a day."

That should be all he needs to know. Any more and you can file a restraining order against him.

Hey thats really good, but he knows that Im 'working there now'. I don't know why he's turned into a detective, he said that hes had a look and that there is no shoe place opposite where I said. Why does he care so much? Or maybe its the impression I get because I know im lying:confused:

I told you, ive no social skills and he is older he's 29 so I felt really uncool.
I once told a couple of people I worked at Blockbuster's just for the sake of something to talk about other than the weather. Then I said I'd quit the next day because I was looking for a better payed job. All seems fine so far. . :smile:

By the way go and find out what shoe stalls are there before you go into any more detail.

'Cause its cool.

Just tell him you were winding him up, for a joke, or something. And that you thought it was funny he was trying to hunt you down so you thought you'd see how long you could keep it up for. But you're now scared that hes gonna anally abuse you. That should make him go away.

Lie again and say you quit your job. And learn your lesson for the next time.

You have no social skills, so you said you worked at a shoe store?!?

Ha ha ha, that chain of logic is so unusual I'm sitting here laughing pretty hard! If I have a rep left today then you get one for making me crease up! :biggrin:

Say you left? Or go and get a job at a shoe stall? Or get a job and say you left the other.

and working in a shoe store is cool, how?
You just have to insist that you're right. and point out that he's gay for stalking you. and pretend he's going a bit deaf so he might have misunderstood. so say everything to him really LOUDLY and slooooowwwwwllyy...

no fair play I once told people I was superman just for something to say

To be honest, if hes so **** at lying he got himself into this mess, we've gotta assume he cant lie his way out of it. Either fess up or move to another football club.
