- 1Watch their eyes. Whenever you ask your partner to explain something, take note of where their eyes go. Your left or your right side? Looking to the left could mean your guy or girl is lying to you. Looking to the left (their eyes go to your left, but it would be their right) means they are creating what they are saying- thinking up what they are going to say next. If they look to your right, they are remembering whatever they are about to say from memory, and means they are likely telling the truth.
- 2Watch to see if his hands go into his pockets, or he's somehow covering his palms. This is an instinctive move to conceal- he is covering something up.
- This one goes for guys only.
- Is she covering her throat? This means that she feels threatened, and it could potentially mean she's lying.
- This one goes for girls only.
- Take note of how he or she is reacting to you. Are they getting hostile, or irritated? This is a sign they are lying. Someone who is telling the truth has no need to get angry at someone else asking them, for example, about where they were last night if they were truly where they say they were. Reacting in a nervous way is also a red flag.
- This one goes for guys only.
- 3Watch their expressions. There are other ways their eyes will reveal what is really going on in their head. Can they not look you in the eye? Not being able to look someone in the eyes while lying is an obvious one. But there's one you may not be too familiar with. Is he or she looking into your eyes for long periods of time, almost as if they're staring you down? Staring or keeping their gaze on your eyes and not looking away can mean they are trying to gain control. It can also mean your guy or girl is trying to gain your trust in some way by showing that they can look at you while they're talking. A person telling the truth is going to have a regular eye pattern, looking at you for a few seconds and then looking away again.
- 4Pay attention to the body language. Wrapping a leg around a chair leg is another sign. It's an outer sign of inner restraint- he or she is instinctively doing this because they are holding something back. You're not getting the whole truth. Also look out for folded arms or crossed legs.
- 5See if they go pale. If his or her face goes pale it indicates they're fearful, and if it gets flushed or turns red/pink it indicates shame or anger.
- 6Take note of whether he/she pauses before answering or answers the question very quickly, maybe even before you have finished asking the question. These are signs he/she is lying.
- 7Watch their mannerisms. Are they being too polite or overly apologetic? This may indicate your guy or girl is lying.
- 8After you have asked a question, do they ask you to repeat it? Do they repeat the question themselves? These are indicators your partner is lying to you.
- 9Any body language your guy or girl is giving off that isn't normal for them could be a sign they are lying. (Ex. using more or less hand gestures than normal while explaining something).
