I am just wondering how I might be able to tell if a friend is lying to me...

this person is thought to be a liar by some, and some think he is completely honest...i know that doesn't help much

sometimes if they don't make eye contact with you when they are talking to you or if they are fidgeting or showing any signs of being nervous when they are "supposably" telling the truth...then they're lying to you....and sometimes you can tell it in their voice or when their stories just don't seem to make sense or match up

You would probably need to give more details on this one.
Actions speak louder than words. So, you should be able to tell by your friend's actions if he/she is lying to you. The person may be avoiding you or not looking you in the eye if he or she is lying.
However, I had a friend once who was convinced I was lying to her when I wasn't. So she kept trying to force some "truth" out of me. It was really hurtful. So, I suggest that you try to be somewhat trusting at the same time. Think about the kind of person your friend is and that might help you. Is this person known to lie or be honest?

It depends on how close and how long you hanve known your this friend of yours, modern city lifestyle is about 80% dishonest balance of about 20% honest. So is safer not to trust anyone.

When you find out, write a book, it will be a million dollar seller.

use your intuition...usually liars can't keep their stories straight...ask him again in a few days

look into their eyes for strong eye contact or their mouth for hesitations generally both of these are good indicators.
