Close! It's Laisser Faire.

I thought it was "laissez faire" since it was a command or quite possibly meant in the formal or plural since.

Je ne sais pas.

It depends in what tense actually.

Nous allons laisser faire is using it in a tense called infinitif.
Je vous en prie, laissez faire! is using it in a tense called impératif.

Don't ask me to explain French grammar in English!

It's short for "laissez faire, laissez passer." It's often attributed to Francois Quesnay, but I think the origin has been disputed. It's definitely from the 18th century though.

So can someone tell me why would a person go above and beyond to lie about and conceal their true situation?

He was probably hoping to convince you to join him for some sexual activity, and thought that you would be more inclined to do that if you believed that it could be the beginning of a long-term exclusive relationship.

I am not speaking of stretching the truth a little or neglecting to divulge one or two minor things about themselves, I am talking about people that prey upon a specific type, in this case submissives.

More specifically, trusting submissives who are inexperienced with habitual liars. It's a pity there are such people in the world. All we can do is be prepared for the possibility and insist on getting the basic facts straight before giving away too much.
