I went through the police academy and in my classes we learned those kind of techniques in interrogation. Signs of a lie are in body language such as hands being hidden in some way. exp. in their pockets or under their butt while sitting. Shows they are hiding something. Dishonest people also tend to veer to the left in some way with eyes or body language. There is a cross over section in the spinal cord to the brain where everything that is on the right side of your body is controlled by the left side of your brain and vice versa. The truth comes from the left side of your brain and will have little action, if at all, to right side. A lie is formed in the right side of the brain and will, most of the time, show in some way on the left part of the body. Also listen to their voice pitch and tone. They tend to be higher when a person is lying. Lastly, a person telling the truth will answer straight closed-ended answers and not offer anymore information. A person lying will volunteer information that you didn't even ask about. Exp. Did you cheat on me tonight?
truthful person's answer = NO
lier's answer = I had a few beers and danced with a girl but that's
all it was.
Hope this was helpful.

Yes. Their ability to make and hold eye contact while talking to you. If the eyes move from yours when answering a question either they have been asked that question way too many times or they are in fact lying. Body position and gestures are also telltale clues. Avoidant behaviour in dialogue can be a dead giveaway.
The best way is using memory recall. Ask concurrent questions along the same lines to verify information. Also in future conversations bring up some of the things they told you in a different context (not posed as an obvious question) and see if the information interrelates.

Congruency. Unless he/she really beleives the lies he/she tells you, there will be something that does not match if the person is lying. Head tilting, no eye contact, change in the person's body language. And even if you don't see that at the moment, in the long run you might find little pieces of the story that don't add up. Small details that tell you "I wonder how..." (suspicious).
Time; give the liar some time and those details will start to pop up. When confronted with those details, liars have to come up with something to justify their stories (usually more lies) and in time you come again to the same point: something does not add up. The circle of lies? Give it time and stay alert. You will see it.

No one can be 100percent certain that anyone tells the truth other than trusting. And usually when people lie doesnt it always came out in the end. If people are compulsive liars there isn't a hope in hell anyone believes a word they say. It's just trust until they prove you otherwise.

For me its in the eyes. Pay attention. See if they give you direct eye contact. If they do. I'd say they are telling you the truth. But if you ask a question and the person keeps looking every which way but in your eyes you know its a lie..

You can't especially in a dating relationship. My advice is if you think the person is lying go with your gut and get out of the relationship. I didn't go with my gut and my head. Later I found out that he was lying to me about a lot of things. It was extremely hard to let go of the person later even though I knew he was a liar, because I had strong feelings for him.

you know he is being truthful by his body language and the way he reacts to your personal questions to him. If he reallly likes you than he would have nothing to hide.

If it is the truth, it will stand the test of time.
