In today’s world, where we all strive to balance our personal lives with our responsibilities, sometimes lying becomes an inevitable part of our daily interactions. Of course, it’s not the noblest trait, but if you’ve decided to go this route, it’s best to do it right. Here are some secrets to help you deceive everyone without getting caught.

Parents: How to Earn Their Trust

Family is sacred, but sometimes you need to use deception to avoid getting caught. If you need to spend an evening away from your family, here’s how to convince your parents that everything is fine.

Create a massive work crisis. Tell your parents that you’re swamped at work and deeply involved in a crucial project. According to psychologist Paul Ekman, they won’t be able to verify this information since they don’t see your boss. Mention that it’s a serious test of your professional skills and you need to get through it. After all, didn’t your parent once tell you that keeping your word is important?

Boss: How to Use Personal Circumstances

Now that your parents are satisfied, it’s time to deal with your boss. If your boss is a man, you can use the classic excuse. Blame everything on your girlfriend. Say she’s having special issues today, like the funeral of her beloved Gabon viper. Explain that her whims require your presence and you can’t leave her in distress. This will work because most men can empathize with your situation, especially if they have women in their lives needing special attention.

If your boss is a woman, you have even more options. Say you’re helping your girlfriend with something significant, like a pregnancy test or choosing wedding rings. This will convey that you’re busy with important family matters and can’t be interrupted.

Girlfriend: How to Confuse Her with Your Plans

Now that you’ve dealt with your family and boss, it’s time to handle your girlfriend. If you’ve started lying, you need to keep up the facade. Use complex and unclear technical jargon. Tell her you’re helping your friend Stan with something like “launching squid on a fake proxy server.” She’s unlikely to remember all these terms and certainly won’t ask your friend for details. Plus, she’ll be pleased to have such a knowledgeable man.

Best Friend: How to Avoid Obligations

With your family, boss, and girlfriend sorted out, it’s time to talk to your best friend. Give him an excuse related to your family. Say you have family obligations, and he’ll understand, as he’s probably also been postponing a visit to his parents for weeks. “You know how important family is,” add for emphasis.

Now that all your obligations are covered, all that’s left is to figure out how to enjoy your evening. By using these tips, you can cleverly manage the situation and keep your evening free. The key is to stay confident and be prepared for any questions. After all, the art of lying is not just about deceiving but creating believable stories that no one can uncover.
