Defensive? Yes, that does sound like he is lying, and definitely hiding something… if you see the difference. Other classic signs are touching a finger tip to his nose or ear, scratching his neck, or fidgeting: playing with a zipper or fiddling in a pocket. Also the refusal to make eye contact, but that isn’t always the case. Sometimes when people lie they also make too much eye contact, looking at you very intently and their eyes bug out a bit. I hope this helped.

It is different for everybody, some people have signs that tell you when they are lying, just figure out what this guy does when he lies. If he has a hard time looking at your eyes when he lies that might be it or it can be a face motion, I don’t know what it is so try and figure it out!

You really have to study the person’s body language in order to find out if they are lying to you. Some people are really good liars BUT they all do something while they are lying. Always follow your gut feeling as this will be a warning sign for sure.

It all depends on what he is being defensive about. However, look at his eyes.
Sycologically, if someone is lying, they look up and to the right. Thats because that is the creative part of the brain, and the eyes follow the thought.
If he is looking to the bottom left, everything is fine.
lets just hope either way that he will at least look yiou in the eye.
Good luck!

most men lie. Being defensive is a sign but he might just be offended. Its hard to tell when men lie because they lie so much. Avoiding eye contact is a sign, constant excuses.

Sometimes we just know when a guy is playing us. He’s feeling so sheepish it shows on his face, or else you’ve heard enough variations on his line to know it lacks any authenticity (such as when he says "I didn’t even notice her").
On other occasions, though, it’s not nearly as apparent. Perhaps he’s had time to sturdy himself, to practice looking sincere or indignant. You may sense something’s wrong but not know what. I’m happy to report that, according to body language experts, there are subtle indications that a man (or a woman, too, for that matter) is fibbing.
1. He folds his arms across his chest or crosses his legs or ankles. This is a protective move triggered by any discomfort he feels. Also, he’s subconsciously closing himself off. It’s as if he’s telling you, "Don’t trust a word I’m saying."
2. He rubs the outside corner of his eye with his finger. Even a good liar can have a hard time looking you in the eye when he’s saying an untruth. By fiddling with his eye or the skin around it, he’s doing his best to break eye contact.
3. He tugs at his ear. Subconsciously the liar uses hand gestures as a distraction. You’re forced to notice what he’s doing with his hand rather than focus on his words.
4. He rubs his finger up and down the side of his nose. It’s thought that nose rubbing is an unconscious effort to block the untruthful message emanating from the mouth.
Another theory: when a person lies, he’s uncomfortable and his pulse is pounding. Blood rushes to the face, causing both the nose and the ears to feel itchy. This can result in an urge to scratch them.
5. He bites his lower lip. Another subconscious protective device. It’s as if he’s fighting the urge to totally fess up.

defensive is a barrier for the truth in my opinion, when i lie i do everything to avoid answering the question including hanging up .but i argue back i am telling the truth every guy is different.

there is nothing worse than a woman who pushes the conversation in the direction she wants, we call this nagging and it is a major turnoff watch is body language, when a guy avoids a topic that does not mean that he is hiding something or not being honest which is a common myth. may be he doesn’t want to share his negative feelings with you, he wants to keep things positive and sort through his feelings.

that sounds like he may be lying. on the other hand how did you approach him? if you used a lot of words starting with you it may just be that he is defensive or if you’ve asked the same question over again he may be tired of the topic. On the other hand does his words and actions match up? does he look away when he is answering these questions? Does the story change or alter a bit? These are also signs that someone is lying. Body language is another one. Does he seem tense? But you know there is really never a way to know if someone is lying unless you catch them. There are people out there that are so good at it that they can not only pass a lie detector test but look you straight in the face and lie without any indication that they are lying.
