Welcome! Glad you could vent this out. It sounds like this has been troubling you for awhile!

I started to gloss over on the examples of how he may not have been truthful. I think you are dealing with a guy who wants to be important and popular...

How to deal with...based on your last comments about how he got angry...probably blocking text, email, facebook, etc. may be the best thing. If you think there is any value to the relationship (which I really didn't get the sense), then you can sit down with him and discuss his tall tales and that you would really like to be a friend but this behavior plus his anger makes it difficult.
