Don't listen to F_I_X_E_R. It's easy to hide behind your lies when you've already been hiding. It's hard to come forward with the truth. Don't take the easy way out. You'll see heavier consequences down the road if you keep doing that.
I'll make a bet. Tell the truth. If you come out alright in the end, a better man who learned something, I win the bet. If, however, you completely regret telling the truth, if you think the "consequences" for telling the truth are too great and that you wish you would have lied instead, I'll resign from my position as a moderator of this forum.
NO! He shouldn't listen to you! Don't you see that I'm trying to preserve his dignity? If he tells the truth nothing good will come of it. And if he plays his cards wisely, he will never get caught, the whole thing will blow over and he'll know not to lie in the future.
And like hmm12 said, if he tells the truth he'll commit social suicide.
Don't give him kamikazi advice! Nothing beats the humiliation of deliberately telling a heavy lie and telling the truth later.
Let's look at this realistically. You are telling him to do this:
"Oh hi, *girl's name" remember when I told you that I slept with 3 girls?"
- "Yeah?"
"Well, yeah... I lied. I'm a virgin. You cool with that?"
- *girl goes insane*
Place yourself in the girls shoes. Can you take such a person seriously in the future? Won't you ask yourself the following questions:
How many times has he lied before?
Will he lie again?
Huh, good luck explaining yourself when she bombards you with questions and handling damage control mode. If she's a major member of his social circle... Well, he's pretty much screwed.
P.S - Chief - I have respect for you, you are a better PUA than me, but I'm confident that I know more about lies than you... If I'm wrong you can feel free to perma ban me from the forum!

every single one of you guys make very valid points, but to be honest...i fear i've gone too far with the lie to come clean at this point.
But what i am scared of more is that if i do happen to come clean, then she will most likely tell her friends, and some of her friends are the people that i work with (she works next door to my workplace, which is how i met her). If i wanted these people to know the truth about me i would've told them, but i dont want them knowing about my sex life (or non-existent one at that lol). I guess this comes down to a self-esteem issue and most of you guys will tell me to "suck it up" but i dont want them knowing, and im sure she will tell at least one them as she is very good friends with her.
You bet your fu**ing ass she will! See? You answered your own question! As you said yourself, you're in too deep now.
Relax! Lying, just like pick up is an art... The good news is that if you are subtle about it, you'll get away with the lie, and eventually she'll forget about it and you'll learn your lesson. This the only safe way out of it.
Don't get me wrong people. I don't encourage lying, because it lies heavily on your conscience. This should only be done as a last resort , because you can't play the role of "Mr. Honest Abe" all the time. Тhere are times when you should be honest, but this scenario in particular just doesn't cut it...
