i have had so many of them so called friends....and really we do not need friends that are going to lie to us or not really care about us anyway...i think it is better just to be kind but really do not depend on this person or believe him or her about anything....true friends are hard to find...and i do not know if the lie was big or not but they still lied to you...so i guess it is up to you...my experience though i would rather not have a friend than these so called friends...

It really depends on what the lie was about. Small white lies are acceptable. The only lies that really matter are ones that hurt. Did your friend lie to you because they didn't want to hurt you? Maybe it was something that your friend couldn't bare to tell you. If it was a lie out of viciousness then no, that person should not be your friend anymore.

To me, it depends on what hey have lied to you about and how long they have been your friend. If they have been a friend for a long time, there is no need to throw it away over a small lie. And if it's big....see if you can work through it. If the relationship is worth it, then anything can be worked through.

Well to me, it'd depend on the lie and how they feel about lying to you.
If the lie was something serious and they didnt care that they lied, then i wouldnt stay friends with that person
If they seemed really sorry and felt bad for what they did, then i'd stay friends with them, but it'd take me awhile to trust that person again

It depends on the lie. I will say that there is a good chance they will do it again. I had a friend who lied alot just to sound good. Actually I had two. They never have stopped their BSing. I know that I can't count on them. I went out on a date with a girl and she messed with one of these guys by pretending she wanted to cheat on me. She said she wanted to meet him but not to tell me. He wanted to go for it. She told me everything. He never admitted it but BSed (bullcrapped) a lot. I don't think I can completely trust either guy and keep both at arms length.

look if you do things like that you'll never keep a friend and I mean NEVER. This is a personal decision look at how you value this friend and if on the bigger picture of things want to keep this person in your life either way you need to let them know how this made you feel and that your aware of it. Friendships and marriages work hand in hand as far as effort goes, I mean they all take work if you want something in your life a lot goes with it forgiveness, fairness, learning, giving, receiving, complicated, ok goodluck Kim

If the lie damages you personally then get him out of your life,but if the lie was about him think that perhaps your friend is trying to hide something from you because the truth may be embarrassing for him and he is afraid of what you may think of him.

regrettably, whilst somebody says they nonetheless elect to be acquaintances they're in simple terms attempting to ease the situation with a sprint white lie. on a similar time as they could be "acquaintances" with you at the instant, it does no longer mean they elect to hold out anymore, or communicate in-intensity anymore. I even have found that turning out to be acquaintances which incorporate your ex whilst the break up is sparkling in simple terms would not artwork. somewhat in case you had a sexual relationship. supply him it sluggish. quite some time. Then possibly you 2 could be acquaintances. although, in case you push your self on him then it is going to greater suitable than in all probability backfire and the amicable seperation can turn grotesque.

it depends how bad the lie was and why they did it...if it was a dumb white lie than just let it go but if it was a big lie meant to hurt you than you should keep some distance from that friend of yours

Why did they lie to you?
Were you harmed by the lie?
Did they maliciously deceive you?
Were they going to gain something over your loss?
or
Was it a white lie to save your feelings?
Their intention is part of the question.
