i would ask him what he is afaid of -- if he tells you the truth?- tell him if its nothing to worry about he should tell you everything -- the only reason for a person to lie, is usually because they have something that they don;t want you to find out, for lots of reasons, to protect you, to make sure you don't get mad, for fear of you getting so mad that you would leave   i say confront him and if he cant tell you the truth-- he dosn;t trust you-- thats my personal opinion  i have dealt with this before and ultimatly i left him-- I never got the truth out of him unless we faught then he told me and as allways it was never anything big- tis jsut the fact that he never respected me enough to confide in me--- i think its  a power trip- so they feel like they have some sort of control

Yes.  They can't say they are a liar if they always tell the truth.  Otherwise, technically, they'd be lying about their honesty and that would make them a liar.

Tell her to fess up to whatever she was untruthful about.  Its not good to deceive anyone especially someone you have feelings for.

As honestly as possible.  If there were uncomfortable circumstances, then politely decline to answer. It's best NOT to lie, because lies can get found out.

Depends, If he lied about you looking bad in an outfit or something, that`s OK (White lie). But if he did something very hurtful, like cheat on you and lie about it, he is just covering his butt (even if he says it was to protect your feelings) and you should dump him.

When without misleading someone too much they are prevented from getting hurt by a lie. Sometimes though honesty is the best policy. It depends on the person/situation.

no way, i lie all the time and nobody ever notices-a good liar will never let you know that they are lying unless they want you to know

Most people lie because they don't think people will like them for who they are, so I would simply say "I'm sorry but I don't believe a word you say and until you stop lying to me and yourself I think it would be better if we put our relatioship on hold" If that's too bold try calling her on it everytime you know she's lying. But I think the 1st option is the better only because u tried confronting her and that didn't work. Propose therapy; that's why I love my horses--they don't lie and complain! It's sad to say but we can't change others the only thing we have control over is ourselves and our behavior other than that it's all in God's hands, baby! Good Luck...

I find honesty is the best policy, however if I now its going to hurt someone to much I give it the ole bambi rule-- if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.

Accept the fact that you have a liar for a friend or dump the friend. The choice is yours.

It is best to tell the truth.  Not telling the truth can lead to a cascade of lies as you try to cover up your tracks.  While there may be a punishment in the short term, in the long run, you will have a lot more trust and leeway than if someone found out that what you said before was a lie.  They will be left wondering about everything you said and you will be unable to convince them even if you are telling the truth.

Depends on the type of person you are, it's hard for me to lie, never been good at it. I have been taught that it's easier to tell the truth because you need to make up another lie to cover the previous. and the truth is a matter of fact. when your not out to hurt the people you love you don't need to lie.

there is no sure-fire way to tell.  some clues if you're with the person: they won't look you in the eye when they speak to you.  long drawn-out sentences.  confused inconsistent stories.  trust your intuition and judgement, if you think someone is lying, there is a reason for that.
