One of the best ways to catch someone in a lie is to try and distract them while they're not telling you the whole truth, a new study reveals. It seems that the extra cognitive effort required to construct a lie and do something else at the same time means the falsehood doesn't stand up quite so well.
Playful comments that acknowledge the lie will usually do the trick. Whether it's “Hey, I think I just saw your nose grow a little bit” or “I need to get my prescription checked. When I looked at the scorecard, it said you shot 112,” this strategy gives the liar a chance to admit their slip-up without fear of reprisal.
This type of person never admits to making a mistake, even when the mistake could be a growth opportunity for your PR team. He or she is often a "people person" seeking attention when things go right, bragging or exaggerating accomplishments, while being quick to place blame and criticize others.
Go with the filling: Tell your partner the lie, why it happened, and that you're sorry. Think about what you're going to say beforehand. Of course, it's easier to confess the little lies. But the fact that you lied is already an offense, so treat your confession the seriousness the lie deserves.
This is the biggest sign she doesn't love you genuinely. She doesn't care about how you feel. All she wants is to make her own life easier. She doesn't care about your needs, your desires, and what you want out of life.

Rapid hand movements, itching, and lack of eye contact could be a sign that your girlfriend's lying. Pay attention to how her body reacts when you ask a question. She may be able to convincingly tell a lie, but her body may say otherwise.
Decide Whether It's Worth Staying in the Relationship
In most cases, lying is not okay. When someone lies to you in a relationship, it can cause a lot of emotional and physical turmoil. Even little lies can add up and cause a relationship to crumble.
If you catch a narcissist in a lie and confront them, you will definitely face at least one of the Four D's. They will either deny, deflect, devalue, and/or dismiss you. Deny. “It wasn't me.”
It's because they are manipulators and purposely twist any conversation to maintain control over the other person and deprive them of a voice. The narcissist uses a word salad when they are confronted with something that they do not want to talk about or if they are being called out.

Keep an eye out for rapid blinking
"A person will ordinarily blink about five or six times a minute, or once every 10 or 12 seconds," Bouton says. "When stressed — for instance, when someone knows he's lying — he may blink five or six times in rapid succession."
