you have to pay attention to their voice when you know they are not lying and compare it to situations when you know they are...remember people react differently and although there are some changes that affect a high percentage of people not everyone will fit any "rule" we can come up with..
a person't individual patterns will tell you a lot more than any standards that anyone here will come up with...

1. The pitch of their voice will change. Their voice often gets higher-pitched and squeaky, usually in reponse to a direct question ("Nooo! I'm not attracted to her at allll!") or they'll tend to mutter ("I didn't know she was gonna be there").
2. Liars will hide their hands!
3. They'll cover their mouths as they talk, bite their lips, touch their noses, and pull on their earlobes.
4. Liars often close their eyes or look at the ceiling right before they say the part of the sentence that isn't true.
5. If he shakes his head 'No' but says 'Yes', trust his body language.
6. If a liar is saying, 'No' but the answer is 'Yes', he may raise and lower his eyebrows as if they're nodding 'yes'.
To catch a liar, it is crucial that you don't sound like you're accusing him, even if you are. If you sound scary, he'll become hostile and try to turn it around on you. Still, if you're suspicious about an incident, bring it up. But ask questions the way a news reporter would. Be polite, with a neutral expression; act as though you believe him. Say "Oh" and "I see" often. But have a lot of questions ready and ask them fairly rapidly. If he's speaking truth, he won't have to think too much about his anwers. Of course, see if if the story changes. Say things like, "Well, if you don't remember, do you think your friend _____ would know?" If he tries to stop you from asking someone else, look out.
If you're still suspicious after this, its time for the clencher. Now, be sure you're both sitting down. Before, you were trying to make him a little nervous to watch his body language. Now you're trying to relax him. News reporters sound frank and sterile. This time, use a soothing but not creepy voice, as if you're about to give him a cup of tea. Gently let him know that you have doubts about his story. Say something like, "Y'know, I've been watching your body language, and I don't think I believe you." Let him respond. He could get angry, but if he yells, let him. Stay warm. Act like you understand why he'd tell the lie. Say, "I felt a similar way once," or "Many people do what you've done. But they're not necissarily malignant people." Coax him along; make him feel like this is his punishment and its not that bad. He will probably break. If he doesn't, say, "Well, I think that's enough stress for one night. I'm going to bed/to read/whatever. Maybe I'll ask ____ about this later, but if you want to tell me sometime later, I'll listen." Then leave.
P.S.--I think its best to handle a liar at night, in a place where you're alone. Night is a time when people open up to each other; and sleep is always a good excuse to end the conversation.

Depends on the person. Some people get PO'ed if you accuse them of anything. If he deviates from natural behavior, then there is a chance he is lying. A lie detector scans for the small changes in the body when a person lies. That is what you look for. Look for the changes.

They fidget around, their voice gets higher, their eyes are shifty or their eyes get wide. You can read their body language. Also if they start yelling and swearing on the Bible or whatever then that means they are really lying. If a person was telling the truth their wouldnt be a need to swear on anything.

It really all depends on the person. Some people yell well they are lying just to try and "scare" you in hopes that you'll stop bringing up the topic. And some people can lie and just be calm about it because they lie so much that it normal to them.

Usually a person's voice goes up in pitch and they talk faster when they are lying. Also they look to the side and fail to make eye contact.

when someone is lying they almost always have telltale actions. getting mad is one but it could also be a reaction to being accused of something they didnt do. watch his eyes if they shift to the left thats usually a sure sign,as thats the side of the brain that we use for story telling, and if you really dont trust him maybe you should find someone you can trust.

I could always tell my ex was lying by the tone of his voiceand his eyes. His voice always got a little high pitched, his eyes would get real wide. Most liars get defensive, therefore they get angry.

Trust your 6th sense, never underestimate your gut feeling, especially in relationships. Try to tell if there making it up on the fly. Thinkn there answers up or blurting the 1st alibi they can think of.
