Tiffany: I find that telling the truth keeps you from awkward confrontations as well. Just better to say how you're really feeling to avoid any drama regardless of what the subject matter is. Good blog : )
peachy: IF you really have to lie, make sure it's very near to the truth as much as possible, that way, you won't forget about it.
