STEP 1: Look for body language that might indicate someone is lying, such as not looking you in the eye when speaking to you, being fidgety, or acting nervous or uncomfortable. STEP 2: Listen for inconsistencies in what the person tells you, such as different stories on different days, different time frames, mistakes in remembering details or mixing up details. STEP 3: Notice if the person steadfastly resists answering any questions. Extreme defensiveness could mean that he or she is trying to hide something. STEP 4: Notice if the person accuses you of lying or being deceitful when you really haven't been. This could reflect the other person's own underlying behavior, which he or she is projecting onto you rather than owning up to it. STEP 5: Listen to your gut and intuition. You may just know someone is lying. If you are not sure, don't jump to conclusions. Try to get some evidence to back up your hunch. STEP 6: Consider asking directly if the person has lied to you. Many people feel bad getting caught up in lies, and find it a relief to finally be honest. STEP 7: Try to be understanding and listen to the person's reasons for lying. Was he trying not to hurt you? Was she afraid you would be angry, upset or disappointed? STEP 8: Look at your possible role in having someone lie to you. Are you someone who gets so upset hearing the truth that others feel they can't be honest with you?

Body language is the key. When people are lying, they tend to subconsciously touch or rub their nose. It's supposed to be the biggest indicator of a lie. Also there pupils will dilate, try to look them in the eye as they're talking to you. I always tell when my boyfriend is lying, never fails.

If they look to the right a lot or stare straight at you. Most people, even the best liars have some type of tic when they lie. Touching the face, hair, mustaches or sweeping a hand behind their ear are such tics.

Some people are really good at lying. It takes a while, but eventually you'll catch them in some outrageous lie.

they don't look you in the eye when talking to you
they look up or down
blinking a lot
stuttering and can't think of the right words
some people start talking a lot, and start embellishing their lies, it's a clear giveaway
careful, some people are very good at lying and very difficult to catch them at it

body language and eye contact
Unless the person is male....then most of what he says is a lie to get sex from you.
