I lied to my parents about my dating life, what do i do now?
Hey! English isnt my first language so pls forgive my grammar and spelling!
I, 19f, have been on hinge on and off for like half a year, and i havent told my parents (i live at home with them). Now, theyre not jugemental or controlling or anything like that, but at the same time im not sure what they would think about the fact that ive been going on dates with practical strangers from online, and i feel like they might "look down" on online dating a bit or not get it.
Ive been on a few dates with diffrent people during this time, and while ive told my parents about these people, ive never said that i met them from hinge. The only girl ive actually dated from hinge actually knew one of my friends, and we meet up through him though we originally matched online. I told my parents that we meet throught this mutual friend, and just left out the part about hinge.
however, now ive met someone i dont know at all from outside hinge, and while ive told my friends about this, i lied to my parents and said that we met throught mutual friends. And while i dont really care if they know, i will obviously have to eighter ask litterary everyone i know to lie to my parents, or tell them that i lied, and i dont wanna do eighter.
what do you think? have you told your parents that youre online dating, and do your parents tend to find out how you met people? should i tell them now or just leave it and see if we even start exclusively dating? pls help
