I don't have a social life and people know that. That's just the way it is.

I've never been on a 'date' lol. You shouldn't have to feel like you have to be like everyone else.

Why even care what they think of you? If you're happy not having much of a social life, then who cares? Don't be ashamed of being yourself. If you really DO want a social life, then go and get one. Ask your coworkers to go hang out after work one day, or find yourself an actual date.

Why do these come up so often here? Trust me, your coworkers DO NOT CARE how often you go out at night or whether you're dating. If you make yourself look like an idiot by constantly talking yourself up, or lying about your social life and getting caught, that's what will make them think you're a loser. And most people would rather work with a guy who doesn't talk about his social life much than a guy who brags and then gets caught lying.

The trouble with lying is that there's always the chance someone will find out, and you'll look even more foolish than if they had found out about whatever situation you were trying to hide.

I'll echo a lot of peoples' comments that it's never a good idea to lie in order to look "cool" to someone. It's much more cool to just not care what people think, and in the long run makes life much easier!

I understand how you feel. I constantly make up lies about my social life. As far as they know, I'm a big party girl. Last night I stayed at home and read a book. My friends are all in relationships and they never want to hang out anymore. My coworkers are all men so I can't ask them to hang out. So I just lie. I haven't been caught yet, but I'm sure someday I will be.

That's just luck isn't it lol

It's okay I would probably do the same thing myself.

if you're going to lie (i'm not saying you should) just stay home and order in, then no one can catch you in said lie
