Faking similarities?

Edit::Sorry i left this out. He also asked my favorite kind of candy and when i told him like sour gummy worms sour patch kids he said those were his favs too. And then i bought some next time i saw him he said he didn't like those.... 😔 and like he says somethin like about when he was younger and next time i see him the story changed.

Idk exactly why but lately i can't seem to ignore little things I'm noticing with this guy I have been seeing. I don't wanna seem petty seriously we have seen each other for months we aren't official just lately it's bugging me i guess. I just feel like he lies about common interests or like music or just little tiny things to make him seem more appealing or to have more similarities. Like i send him a song, some pretty underground shit like a genre people don't usually listen to and then he hits me back with a song by a similar artist. I get excited like "Oh you know (said artist) also?!" And like he don't reply. Or he will act like he knows something about an artist I'm listenin to but it isn't even that artist. Little tiny lies it's weird. I got him dishes for xmas cause he needed them. A week before they arrived cause i had them shipped he like told me he got some from his friend that used to be hers. Anyways i gave em to him and he's like "Now i finally have dishes" but didn't you before like your friend just gave you some? And then he's like "oh yeah i forgot". Like little stories about his past i keep finding inconsistent and it's the littlest things but why so many white lies? Is this normal? That's all I'm asking. He is a really nice guy besides this weirdness..
