More important than anyone's opinion is that of my housemate, and best friend in the world, Scott. Scott thinks the world of me and always tells me to be myself. So why do I feel the need to lie outrageously on dates?

But nothing could prepare us for the surprise results! Before long, I realise that our lives will never be the same again.
