If you’re an honest person, it’s hard to understand how people lie. What’s worse is you think if somebody lies to you, you’ll know it. But that’s what makes the best liars—they’re also great actors. Here are the worst lies men tell women. Don’t feel bad, we’ve all been burned by them!

“I’ve been single for a long time”
You start dating a guy who seems so emotionally stable and open. He says his last relationship ended a year ago. He must be ready to move on! Then you find out he’s been on and off with that ex up until a month ago. You’re a rebound.

“I was just tested”
Errr well, there was that one woman since the test. And they didn’t use a condom. But really, what are the odds she had something? (UM, THE ODDS ARE BIG ENOUGH.)

“I’m too busy with my career”
Men are usually lying to themselves when they say this: they think they’re busy with their career but don’t realize they’re just not into the woman. Then, they meet the right woman, and suddenly plenty of time opens up in their schedule.

“She was just crazy”
So many men write off women it didn’t work out with as “just crazy.” And sometimes they were crazy. But most of the time, it’s the man’s way of taking no blame, and assuming no responsibility. And he makes you—his new unsuspecting victim—think it was his ex who was the problem.

“Yes, I do want something serious”
There are men out there who are so cruel that they’re willing to take you to dinners/meet your family/talk on the phone every day just for the consistent sex. They play boyfriend, but they have no intention of being your boyfriend.

“I’m just not looking for something serious”
Then there are the guys who say they’re not looking for anything serious. They are suddenly in a relationship two weeks after you end things.

“Maybe we should have stayed together”
Ah yes. The ex who reaches out at midnight, suggesting your breakup was a mistake. And he will feel that way until you go over there to “talk things out,” end up having sex, and his boner goes away. Suddenly he’ll feel pretty sure about that breakup again.

“Sorry my phone died” (But Instagram still worked?)
The guy who disappears for a few days while he’s off exploring other options, posts on Instagram the entire time, and when he’s finally bored and ready to see you, says his phone has been dead.

“I’m not trying to have sex with you tonight”
This guy insists and insists he just wants you to come over after dinner to “get to know you better.” And then he suddenly changes his mind when you get there.

“I can’t spend money on dates”
Then he drops hundreds at the bar on shots for his friends, or brags on Facebook about losing $400 at the slot machines in Vegas. Money well spent, pal.

“I’m working—it’s a work thing”
No, you set a “meeting” with someone you can sort of, in a long-winded way, describe as a work affiliate, who you actually just like to get drunk with. That’s why you’re cancelling our date night.

“I won’t be hungover tomorrow”
This is a boyfriend lie. This is when your boyfriend goes out with his friend he always gets too drunk with the night before an important event and promises he won’t get drunk. And then he is suddenly “coming down with something” the next morning. Hmmm…wonder if that receipt from Jack in the Box at 2 in the morning could explain it.

“I’m just not into marriage”
You’ll date this guy for longer than you want to admit, lying to yourself that, “I can be happy without a ring. We can be one of those unconventional couples. So long as he is faithful, I am happy!” Then you break things off, and he is engaged within 4 months to somebody else.

“I’ve never cheated on anyone”
We put a lot of trust in men when they say they’ve never cheated on anyone. If they have, they’ll probably lie about it. And then they’ll probably do it again…to you.

“I’m not married”
Well, this one is self-explanatory. There is nothing worse than being made a mistress and you don’t even know it.
