It depends on how well you know the person.  If you suspect someone is lying just ask round about questions on the subject in question and see how different the answers are.  Works like a charm.

Ask one of his friends to find out for you.

you have to watch their facial expressions. if they cant look at you in the eye when they say it , its probably not true. or if they beat around the bush instead of answering directly they are lying there is a ton of things to look for. the only time its hard to pick out a liar is when you first meet them then you dont know how they act at all much less when they are liars so just pay attention to detail when you are talking to someone and you will see what i am saying.  hope that this helps

The short answer is: they don't.  Many people go through life lying to others and some of these lies end up not being caught.  But when it comes down to it lies won't hold up to intensive investigation and the light of truth.\n\nIf someone has reason to suspect a fact or is curious enough they will eventually be able to find out any mistake, omission or outright lie as evidenced by these proverbs from around the world:\n\nlies walk on short legs.  (german)\none can't stop the spreading of lies with more of them.\na liar is not to be believed, even when he speaks the truth.\n\nhope this helps.

If he lied about that, he's probably lying about other things. Be cautious

i believe your a liar. of course i would/wouldn't believe them. i mean, if i know them well, i could tell they're lieing, but if the person is telling the truth then the person wouldn't be a liar. if its a good liar then it's hard to say unless you really know them, but if it's a bad liar then u can tell they are lieing. if a liar sayed they were a liar then, she/he would be telling the truth, which wouldn't make them a liar at all. but if a truthful person said it, then they would be telling a lie, because they don't lie. so it would be called a ," triar" a person how both lies and says the truth. and if they werea triar and said it, then they would be saying a lith which is both the lie and the truth. what a random question.

Look for tell tale signs. White lies can lead to the truth. Does she get secretive on the phone? Don't ask her friends, that's not very nice (what if she's not cheating on you?). Ask her. You'll know if she's a liar. Good luck.

Look at their avatar.\n\nAsk yourself "Does that person seem honest?"\n\nOnly the avatar will tell.

No there is not.\nIn all of my years of lying and being lied to in various walks of life I've learned that everybody lies, everybody gives it away, and detecting a lie is more detective work than "dead give-away".\nYes there are lots of bodily quirks to pick up on when someone lies. These (like the eyes for example) reflexes really do not indicate a person is lying. They rather indicate that a person is nervous. Very often that is because they are lying but sometimes it is for any one of many other reasons. For example a murderer might pass a lie detector and even fool seasoned detectives, but you might fidget and cry and do all sorts of strange things if the cops stop at your door and ask where you were yesterday even if you were home quietly minding your own business.\nThe truth is to get to the bottom of a lie you have to be aware of what a particular person does when they lie. To do this you must be calculated and patient. \n1.)Wait to be told a lie that you know is a lie and begin to note any significant or slightly unusual behaviours (such as body language and voice tone out of the ordinary).\n2.) Engage the liar in a conversation where you request as much detail about the lie as you can. Make careful note of body language etc., and note the details of the conversation. Sound interested and convinced and you should get enough info for later.\n3.) Be patient. Find more proof.\n4.) You have to wait until the "LIE" surfaces a second time. You can elicit this it can be in the same conversation.\n5.) Make sure you heard right, ask them to repeat the lie. Make note of all body language etc.\n6.) Make a note of time date or other significant information at the time so you can remember enough to be certain for yourself that you know they have been caught.\n7.) Now this is where this all pays off. You sit your liar down and YOU initiate the conversation about any suspected lie. This time you start talking like your convinced and get them to repeat the suspected lie yet again. Watch the body laguage the whole time. You do not ever have to confront them.\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\nThis is a little trick meant to find out what a PARTICULAR PERSON does when they lie. It is meant to help determine the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN nervousness due to lying and other nervous behaviour one might exhibit when they are not lying. It is not meant to find out a lie. The liar always gives it away you just have to figure it out for your own liar.\n\nYou need a lie you know is a lie and they must think you believe it. The more you talk about the lie you know the more you have to watch and see. The more lies you do it with the more accurate you will become. This is something you can do dozens of times with a coworker or nieghbor before you confront them. The more often you do it before confrontation (if you choose confrontation) the more likely  you will be accurate. \nIf you make all of this happen (which could be done with someone you know but probably not a single encounter with a stranger) you should have a solid list of reflexes, behaviours, etc, that you can apply to ONLY THAT PERSON\nYou should be able to have no more than 95% odds that you can detect A person lying. If you want to keep your friends and family don't do this to them.\nYou will be surprised (and not too happy) to know who is really lying to you and about what. But I hope this helps and hope the lie is not too big. \nREMEMBER THE HUMAN MIND IS INCREDIBLE AND NOTHING IS FOOL PROOF.

First you have to think this simple question, has he ever lied in the past?  Someone who has never lied to you before you should be able to trust more quite obviously.  Does this person have a reason to lie to you?  Remember that more than half of our communication is based upon body language.  Learn to read more than just his words.  Although there is no exact way to tell if someone is lying you can always do your best to learn how the person acts when they are telling the truth and when they are lying.  Without knowing what you think the person is lying about I can't really go into any more detail.  Just remember that in a relation trust is a key factor.  If you can't trust someone you really can't be that close to them.  Be as straight forward as possible.  Hope this helps, best of luck.

If you are absolutely positively sure that they have lied to you about everything then choose to end this friendship.If your not sure then ask them to tell you something that you already know the truth about to see if they lie.If they do then tell them how it makes you feel and why do they want to lie all time.Maybe they do not know they are lying and maybe they just don't care about telling the truth.Do you lie to anyone?If no then maybe you should find a new friend.

Some people will ike you a lot and some people won't be able to stand you.\nI am  like that and they either like me or can't stand me because of it. The more phoney they are, they more they hate me.\nIf you mean like should you lie about things you do or not, don't. The truth will always come out. It is fun to be blunt honest all the time. fun to see people's reactions.

My advice would be to look for the telltale signs that the person is actually lying and go from there.  Exerpted from site below:  "Fibbers tend to move their arms, hands, and fingers less and blink less than people telling the truth do, and liars' voices can become more tense or high-pitched. The extra effort needed to remember what they've already said and to keep their stories consistent may cause liars to restrain their movements and fill their speech with pauses. People shading the truth tend to make fewer speech errors than truth tellers do, and they rarely backtrack to fill in forgotten or incorrect details. "\n\nLots more info at sites below.  Good luck!

go with your gut feeling to be on the safe side. usually that feeling is right. if you feel that strongly about someone lying to you, definatly confront them and talk it out. yes that persons going to get upset and deffensive but you have the right to know if you suspect something going on behind your back.

First of all, there are reallly no fool-proof way to tell, but if they are lying men:\n          1.Can't look you straight in the face\n          2. They fidget\n          3. They try really hard to convince you of their lies\n          4. They "swear it on everything they love" \n          5.  If you ask them the same question 2 days later, they    \n               they pause and have to think of what they told you \n               previously.
