Girl lying about her age

[Shift]

I recently started dating this chick who I KNOW is 19. (A quick internet search pulls up the old birth announcement in the local newspaper archives)
She tells me she is 20 and how she is looking forward to her 21st birthday next year, even though I know she just turned 19 a few months ago. My question is why would she do this?

I mean when I was a couple years younger I had to deal with 17 year old girls telling me they were 18 all the time, but that at least makes sense. 18 is a legal adult so I get why they would do it.

I could even understand her lying if I was significantly older than her (late 20s/30s), but I'm not. I'm 22 and she knows this. 19 and 22 isn't uncommon so I just don't get what she thinks she has to gain by telling me she is 20.

Insights?

She want to drink....

no clue but do you really want to spend your time with someone who would lie like this? if you dont call her on this then she understands that she can lie about other things and you'll never know. Show her your drivers license picture and say it is the ugliest pic ever and then ask to see hers b/c you're sure it's adorable. If she refuses to pony up her DL you have a huge issue sitting in front of you.

She want to drink....

That crossed my mind as well

Well if she wanted to drink, why wouldn't she go with saying she's 21?

Also I was thinking the driver license thing would be a good idea

She slipped up and I playfully got her to confess. The I teased the **** out of her for it and told her I knew the whole time. I think she got the message that she can't get away with lying to me.

She didn't want you to think she was too young for you or treat her like a kid
