She keeps telling tiny fake stories to strangers and I don’t know if I’m being too serious about it
I’ve been seeing this girl for about 2 months and I really like her. She’s funny, easy to talk to, makes plans, is down for adventures, just like me.
But there’s this one thing she does that I can’t tell if it’s harmless or kind of weird.
She lies to strangers for no reason.
Not big serious lies. More like we’ll be at a coffee shop and the barista asks if we’re from around here and she’ll say “no we’re visiting from Seattle” even though we both live 10 minutes away. Or an Uber driver asked how long we’ve been together and she said “4 years, we met at a wedding” when we literally met on a dating app last month.
At first I thought it was funny. Like okay, random bit, whatever. But she does it almost every time we go out. This weekend we were at a little Italian place and she told the server I was a food critic, which made the whole meal weird because the server kept checking on us, I tried to play along and would switch apps on my phone while the waiter was around to make it look like I was taking notes.
When I ask her about it after, she said it makes boring interactions more fun and that I need to loosen up. She wasn’t mad, but she definitely thought I was being lame.
I’m not trying to be the police of harmless fun, but it makes me wonder if she’s just playful or if she’s too comfortable making stuff up.
Would this bother anyone else or am I being way too serious?
