White lies? No, it is not wrong unless its going to far.
you have to explain that you were only try to spare their feelings and was waiting for a better time to tell them.
nope.
if you lie to someone, your simulating to the person your lieing to that your lie was actually the truth. that person will use the lie in his/her life, therefore actually hurting them, rather then helping them.
I think it is. I think the longer you wait to tell someone something, the more hurtful it becomes. They'll probably hurt more knowing you knew long before you decided to tell them. Like my friend for example, everyone knew her boyfriend was cheating on her but no one wanted to tell her. But she eventually found out (from him) and was very hurt by it. I'm sure it wouldve been better if one of her friends had told her to begin with.
No, it is not wrong to lie to hurt someone's feelings.
I myself am gay and have had sex with guys who did not turn me on at all, and I couldn't get off with them.
I always tell them that I had masturbated quite recently, and that THAT was the reason I couldn't get off. I would never f.u.c.k with a person's image of himself by telling him that I found him ugly.

Truth is ALWAYS better
Yes, and I'll tell you why. If you lie to others to protect their feelings, then when you ask someone something where a negative answer may hurt your feelings you will not be able to trust their answer. You will think to yourself, "are they lying just to protect my feelings?" So many women of my acquaintance discount their husband's or boyfriend's opinion on their appearance because they "know" the man would never say anything to hurt their feelings. Yet in my own experience, I can tell you its actually hurtful when your partner asks you, "How do I look with less eyeshadow?" "I think you look wonderful with less." and then have your partner totally discount your opinion because they think you're just saying what they want to hear.
It is wrong. I did it once and it hurt them more than the truth. I will not do that again.
