I can see it starting out as a simple "white lie" so to speak.
Mom - "I saw Mrs X in the grocery store today with her daughter, when you come home next week I told them I want to introduce you two, you would make a nice couple"
Manti - "Oh mom, why do you do that? I already have a girlfriend"
and away we go for what has become an E ticket version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
But, in this day and age, once it's out, it's out, and the best play on his part is to come COMPLETELY clean. Regardless of what "completely clean" means.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of wanna be Columbo's out there freaking out about this "story" right now.
