Lets say you are on a date and you lie about certain things that you are embarrassed about or you are too ashamed to admit to the other person. Is it ever acceptable to lie or should you always tell the truth no matter how embarrassing the answer is?

Reason: Correct typo in title for OP.
Don't lie, just don't answer the question you're uncomfortable with.
The only problem with that is I am uncomfortable answering even the most basic questions. If I was on a date and a woman asked me any kind of personal question I would feel compelled to lie.
How do these things come up in a conversation on a date? I don't believe in lying but I don't believe your past has to be an open book either. Are you being interrogated by someone?

That's a whole other issue then. What are you hiding that you cant even talk about yourself?

Then work on your social anxiety. If it develops into a relationship and she finds out about things you lied about, it'll break the trust. No trust is absolutely toxic to a healthy relationship.
If a question is uncomfortable, just state that you would rather not talk about it and/or you will talk about it later. That way, at least there is time to put a humorous spin on it. I find it's easier to find a way to laugh at myself.
Each of us is human. We have all had embarrassing moments.
I would find someone who can admit a mistake or a silly event quite refreshing. I don't like people who are too conceited to admit their shortcomings.

Then I suggest professional therapy.
Really, you SHOULD be able to answer basic questions without lying!

Stop being boring. Boring sucks. Time to live. Do it.
