he is definitely lying when you just decide to ask him about his whereabouts last night & he gets totally upset & responds by saying "what did you hear now " or "what did you see" and then before you reply he spills beans , sells his self out. YOU SIMPLY PICKED HIS MOUTH.

A person lies when he looks up or to the right. The right side is the creative side.

You can tell when a guy is lying to you by the way he moves. He will scratch his head or twitch his nose. some guys practice at it and then you have no way of knowing whether he is lying or not. those guys you have to take caution with.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (2 October 2007):

If you "think" he is lying, he probably is. Men will usually hang themselves, if you ask enough questions, and listen to the answers, taking into account how much they elaborate. The biggest reason that men lie to women is to avoid confrontation. Listen to your inner voice, which is the manifestation of your common sense, and judgement. It is not the circumstances surrounding a lie that destroy a relationship, it is the lie itself. I would rather hear a horrible truth from a man, than hear even a white lie. Most men are too afraid of this much honesty.

if you suspect thst a guy lying to you keep askin diffrent questions about the topic you think he is lying about until he spills the beans and says something that you know is not ture or if he dosent spill the beans just look into what he said when you asked him like if he said he was hanging out with friends then drill his friends!!!

A female reader, accused United States +, writes (5 December 2006):

accused agony auntHi I had to reply to this question: I've found in past experiences that men tend to (blow) up so to speak, when asked certain questions.. example: you ask your man something about his where abouts because the timing does not add up and he's not called or answered his phone, and he starts getting an attitude or some even yell... Now why would someone get that upset over a mere question? not unless you were constantly tracking his ever movement (lol) but seriously just watch the reactions you will know.. GOOD LUCK! Oh yea and (LOOKING TO THE LEFT) IS ANOTHER GOOD SIGN!

Its pretty hard to tell some poeple just have an instinct on whether people are lying, and luckily for you I am one of those people.

Ok the main thing is lack of eye contact and generally looking shifty.

Do his stories make sense?, do the times match up?, look at things like that.

The other thing that gives people away is if you have asked them about smething that you are suspicious of they will answer with "if you must know......" at the begining of the sentence.

ok good luck with that and let me know if you need more help.

vina_101 agony auntLack of direct eye contact.Looking to the side, looking on the floor. Lot's of umming and aahing. Stories that don't make sense. Y'know the ones that just don't add up. Scratching or stroking the back of his head.Body language. Stammering. Long pauses. Thumb twidling. scratching his arm.Playing with his fingernails. Avoiding direct yes or no answers. Changing the subject to buy time to think up another lie. Nervous behaviour or even over confident bahavior. "Everything is fine" kind of attitude. Uncertainty. "Is she buying it?" kind of behaviour after he's finished talking. He might give you a fake smile.

Also watch out for excessive hand movements and head nodding or shaking when he's trying to express what he is saying.
