Lying is indeed detestable. It robs us of the information we need to make correct decisions. Most people have a built in lie detectors. The tone & content of the conversation is analyzed in much the same way as food is tasted. A lie makes us uncomfortable and we begin to suspect a deception. Judge Judy has famously said "If it doesn't make sense, It's probably not true."

I had to read that 5 times before I figured it out. Dude, when you take 5th grade again - study English, because you're doing it wrong.

Dont date people online that plain and simple only date people you really know and will see and anyone can lie on the internet and get away with it and if you really like him tell him to make you a fan sign with his face in it best way to tell if its really him Good Luck also he could get nervous and if you see him start to talk different or act different then hes hiding something from you usually but you got to watch some men can lie good without showing any emotions or appearance of it like eye movement and all the stuff like people do when nervous they can block all that out because they lied enough so its like they are telling the truth then they tell it so much they start to believe it after so long.

Different people have their own "tell". You have to know that person well enough to figure them out.

You must look out for body language when you ask him a question, he might scratch his nose, or it might just twitch. Usually when he looks up to the left he is making up a story. He also may not look you in the eyes while he is talking. But unfortunately these actions are very easy to suppress so you might not pick it up, and body language is not a very accurate science, so these "signs" may mean something totally different in your case

All kids lie about themselves at your age, girl or boy. That's why I'm not dating yet - I spend the time on myself while I can.

(btw, that's a terribly inappropriate pic.)

Well no offense, you're pretty, but that picture is against some peoples' religions.

if think that is an inappropriate pic you should take your modem and burn it, 'cause then you don't belong on the internet
Report as
I belong wherever I want and my modem is my own. :) But thanks for the spurious advice.

Besides, she changed the pic now. We were talking about a different one. I don't consider that pic itself to be inappropriate, but the shirt is.

Lilrae, you can do whatever you want. I was only letting you know that's my opinion - I admit, I did ballicose it. Forgive me.

You are beautiful, by the way.

Look for non verbal cues like facial expression, body movement or the tone.

I've found that they tend to spew gibberish - like the first 2 answers. If I had a kid that wrote like that 2nd kid - I'd get him 'Rosetta Stone - English' for Christmas.

I can see your new book becoming prescribed reading for both Archaeology 101 and High School English:

"Rosetta Stone for Dummies -- All you need to know to translate Gibberish to English."

Buy one this week and received a free CD "Oz Speak: -- Understanding Australians."
