Sadly we live in a society where deception is commonplace. You can never stop people from lying to you; but you can stop them in their tracks by not believing them.
The movement of your fingers, hands, arms and legs reveal your true feelings. Although a liar may be able to control his words, facial expressions and tone of voice, his body language betrays him.
In romance, observe and gain the upper hand with these easy to use tell-tale signs of lying.
Just a word of caution: whenever dealing with body language, never reach a conclusion based on one sign only. Look for a cluster. Where you notice more than three you can be sure the person is lying or at least hiding something.
Any emotional state, including lying, changes your body form and posture.
We gesture with our hands and arms. When someone is lying to you, he is less expressive; he keeps his hands in his lap if he is sitting, or at his side if he is standing, and his fingers may fold into his hands, almost like his fist is about to clench.
He tucks his legs and keeps his arms close to his body, maybe crossed.
A liar usually hides his palms by facing them downwards or keeping them in his pockets. If someone gestures with their palms facing upwards, it shows honesty and truthfulness.
Avoiding eye contact is a common sign of lying. Instead his eyes dart from side to side, or focus on anything other than yours.
If he feels bad about lying, he touches his face area — nose, ears, mouth, throat or rubs his eyes. Some of these, however, can also signify deep concentration.
If he is tries to appear casual he may shrug his shoulders slightly.
A liar slouches.
He rarely faces you squarely, and instead stands sideways or turns completely away.
Look at gestures in conjunction with emotions and what is being said, to get the whole picture; for example, he smiles while expressing sorrow to a friend whose spouse left him.
Especially telling is to watch his initial reaction before he has time to mask his emotions.
A liar seldom touches you while he lies.
If you accuse a person of something and he denies it with, “It was NOT me,” there is a good chance he is guilty. (A truthful person is more likely to say, “It wasn’t me.”)
Most people who lie feel anxious. Keep on talking about the subject and note his anxiety levels. Anxiety reveals itself by:
him biting his nails
fidgeting and unable to sit still
tapping either his foot, fingers or hand
sweating
jiggling keys, coins or anything else in his pocket
whistling.
If someone wants to hide something he will avoid talking about it or anything similar. Discuss a related topic and notice if he tries to change the subject.
When you ask a question, “Where were you last night?” he tells you, “I was out with my friends.” If you remain silent, he adds something more, “We went to movies.” He keeps adding new facts until you respond and he feels he has convinced you. A guilty person tells his tale in bits and pieces until you confirm, at which point he stops. A truthful person would tell you the whole story right away.
A liar lacks assertiveness. His statements sound like questions with his voice, head and eyes lifting at the end of the statement, as though he is looking for reassurance.
He avoids using pronouns I, we, us and uses bland words like, “It went well,” instead of “I had a great time.”
A liar does not draw words out like, “Nooo,” because he is uncomfortable with his position.
His voice may be slightly higher than normal, and he delivers the lie in a flat tone.
When a person lies, he speaks slowly and sometimes stops completely, while he thinks about what to say next. Especially with regard to attitudes or beliefs, the speed of your reply speaks volumes.
When a certain restaurant chain recruits staff, they ask prospective employees if they have a problem serving different ethnic groups, and time the applicant’s response. The longer it takes her to answer no, the lower her score. A person with no prejudice would answer immediately, whereas someone prejudiced would have to process internally the ‘right’ answer.
His reactions may be out of proportion to the question. As Shakespeare said, “The lady doth protest too much.”
As we said, do not take any of these signs in isolation. But when more than three occur, warning bells should sound.
