I met this guy named C.J. about 2 weeks ago. I have seen him almost everyday since and he recently asked me out on a date. The only problem is when i first met him i told him I was 22 (I'm really 20). the only reason i lied was because he is 29 and i didn't want my age to get in the way of getting to know this great guy. I also told him i had a degree in political science when in reality i didn't finish :/ (i dropped out 3 semesters short of getting my degree). i had no idea I was going to be seeing this guy so much and like him as much as i do. i feel so childish for having lied but i want to make it right but i need to think of a good way of telling him. Thank you in advance if you take a minute to give me advice:).

P.S. i have always dated older men and my parents are 100% on board with the age difference (link)
Hi! I totally understand where you were coming from when your first instinct was to fib.
Well, now that it's growing deeper, know that you cannot build a relationship of lies.
I would clear it up NOW.

Next date, get on a serious topic and let him know. It's not like youre 17 or something. Also, if he likes you, it's not because you're 22 or because you have a degree, it's because of who you are. If you're lying to him, the feeling might dwindle or leave him. Got it?
Good luck!
