Remember the words of Costanza: It's not a lie, if YOU believe it.
I am a world-class liar. But it comes from practice. Practice and a fundamental mistrustfulness of other people make for a good liar. If you don't trust people and are constantly breaking down what they say in your head and trying to catch them in lies, you will be a good liar.
The key is to formulate your lie in advance. Then, question yourself like you would question someone else posing the lie to you. Once you come up with answers to all your questions, the lie is a good one.
Also, it's good to introduce props and third parties if the lie is going to be a big one. It's like a sting. You plant things in the person's mind
before you tell the lie so the lie is an extension of a truth they have already witnessed with their own two eyes or ears.
Example: You want to meet up with an old girlfriend (not to cheat, but it will look bad no matter) and you know your girlie wouldn't like it. What do you do?
First, tell a good friend your plans. Then have said friend call you and make sure your girlie answers the phone. Have him chat a bit and then, if he's good, he'll say something like, "Do you guys have anything planned for Friday night?" That's it. That's all he needs to say.
You get on the phone, shoot the shit, etc. Get off and wait for
her to ask
you what your friend has planned for Friday. You say, "Oh. He wants to go out to such and such, but I don't think I want to go. I'm kind of tired."
Then, on Friday, a few hours in advance, you call her and say that you changed your mind and are going to meet him. Go, have your fun with your ex and when you come home, she'll ask how it was first. You'll say it was okay, even though you didn't go where he originally wanted to go and he was into some girl the whole time.
This is important because she or one of her friends may have seen you at another place and may also have seen you with her. But now you're good. Because if she goes all in at this point, there's no problem. "Why was I talking to some girl? I just told you he was into some girl. Your friend probably saw me with her when he went to the bathroom or something. What the fuck?"
Easy street. Guilt and shame shifted to her shoulders. And you're already onto asking what's in the fridge.
PM me your potential lie and I will perfect it for you.
