>>86532 (OP)If its a stranger you have little to no care for, lying is the way to go. If they won't ever catch you out theres no reason not to.
If its a friend they will find out sooner or later and that makes you look worse than saying you're single. NEVER say you are a khv doe, always lie and say you have had a girlfriend before, this goes for when you talk to foids too. If you find a girl you like, and you end up getting late into the dating stage and you are sure of her, then maybe you can let her know that didn't happen and you just say it cuz its embarassing otherwise, but never ever say you are single to a girl early on. They like knowing that you are attractive to people and that you aren't desperate, it increases their status to have a desirable boyfriend
