If his story feels shakier than a Jenga tower on its last block, girl, it might be time to dig deeper. Whether it’s the little things that don’t add up or full-blown inconsistencies, lies have a way of unraveling. Consider this your ultimate cheat sheet to spotting the signs of deception with a dash of sass and a lot of smarts.

1. His Story Has More Holes Than Swiss Cheese

The easiest way to spot a liar? Their story keeps changing, like your favorite fast-fashion trends. If he’s stumbling over details or forgetting what he said yesterday, that’s a red flag waving in your face. Research from the Journal of Applied Psychology confirms that lying is hard work — keeping track of fake details is exhausting.

What to Look For:

  • Contradicting himself like he’s got amnesia.
  • Adding way too many details that nobody asked for.
  • Awkward pauses when you hit him with a simple question.

2. Suddenly Allergic to Eye Contact
