How Do You Know When He’s Telling the Truth?
Often when dating someone new, I wonder how much of them in the beginning is the truth or if it’s slightly exaggerated. And if exaggerated, just how far off is he from the truth?
If you have a smooth talker, like I have recently had, it’s so simple to tell when a man is full of bull. The compliments are flying out of his mouth faster than he can take a breath, and he makes himself sound too good to be true. That’s because he IS too good to be true.
But sometimes men hide things in such a way that you don’t find out how wrong they are for you until later on down the road. So how do you figure this out before you start liking him too much?
Well, for me, I trust my gut feelings. Many times a man will tell me something in our initial dating period that will make me wonder or question them. Sometimes I keep it to myself and don’t ask them what I’m thinking about, but sometimes I’ll go ahead and ask and then receive an answer that doesn’t make sense, or makes me feel even stranger. For me, that is the sign that something just isn’t right.
If they always have a quick answer for everything, that’s another sign to watch out for too. One guy I went out with lied so many times that he started to lie about his lies. I have a pretty good memory and can usually remember what someone says to me, which is why when the story changes, I notice right away. I may not say anything, but the wheels are turning in my head and I’m already starting to doubt the man.
What are some signs you notice as to whether or not he’s telling the truth? I’d be curious to hear other answers.
A friend of mine used to say “you can tell if a man is lying, his lips are moving!”
