Dating alone is very difficult at times and meeting a dishonest person without knowing can turn your day from good to worse. A lot of times a person on the date will tell lies or stretch the truth to make them seem better than what they are naturally, but there are signs that can be noticed when someone is doing this on a date.

1. 1
   Inspect your dates eyes for the eyes can tell a lot about a person when on the date for their eyes will tell on them depending on whether they are lying or not

   .

   When doing this ensure that you are not staring a hole in their head for they will notice and also look away which may not be a sign of dishonesty but shyness. As with everything else when a person is being dishonest they will have a very hard time looking a person in the eye when speaking to them so if your date is having a very hard time looking you in the eye when they are telling you something then chances are they are being dishonest with their statement they are making to you at the time during the date. Also aside from them not looking you in the eyes they will also blink more than usual this mean that they are thinking really hard about what they are telling you meaning they are either exaggerating the story or making one up as they go along with whatever that they are addressing to you at the moment in time on the date.

   Inspect your date's body language for their body language can tell you all that you need to know about their actions during the date

   .

   Notice if your date has their arms crossed, legs crossed or even their finger when talking to them for this is a sign that they are being dishonest with you during whatever they are doing on the date. The crossing of their body means that they have something to hide from you so it is definitely not a good sign in determining whether or not your date is genuine. It is usually something that they do subconsciously so it is not anything that they will notice that they are doing while on the date also do not listen to the saying that they are doing this because they are nervous for there are other signs that a date will show if they happen to be nervous while on the date.

   Listen to the person's speech when they are talking to you on the date for they will often give off signs of dishonesty in a lot of ways

   .

   Hesitation is a sign that the person is telling you a fib during the conversation for they will need to hesitate in order to think to get their lie straight for if the statement or story is true they will not need time to gather the parts of their story in order to tell you the information. Also when all the details are not true the person will also tend to mumble when telling you certain information for the mumbling process is them trying to come up with information quickly but they are not able to process the fake information that they are trying to get together in order to tell you the statement. This is a red flag especially for a person who is not used to lying for a person who is used to lying will more than likely not do these actions too often during the date but they will also fall into a spot where they will show these signs while communicating. They hesitate and mumble for they have to tell one lie in order to cover up for the next in a fast fashion so doing this causes them to mumble or hesitate during the conversation. While on the date ask a variety of question to see if any of your questions trigger these actions, if it does then understand that your date is not being completely honest with you on the date.

   Break contact with the person after you have gone out on the date and have noticed that the person in fact is dishonest

   .

   The great thing about doing this on the first date is that the person in fact will not have any additional information about you so in turn you will be able to successfully break all ties after the date is over and done. If this person has information such as your phone number or way of contact after letting them know that you did not enjoy the date block them from contact for they may become a stalker or say negative things to you which will turn into a problem on your end. If you did not enjoy the date be sure to be honest with not only the person but yourself by not stringing them along to think that you like them if in all honesty you do not like the person or their dishonesty. A big mistake that people make when going on a bad date is leading them on which is not at all a good choice for by doing this you are only prolonging the inevitable which will be that you are going to leave them for you do not like their dishonesty that they have shown during the date.

Why you don't like a dishonest person?

Everyone does not like a dishonest person. If someone lies to you, do you think it would be OK to accept once he or she apologizes to you? It may be OK to know that he or she lied to you for your protection and security. But, what if the person keeps on lying to you whenever you ask something? This can be annoying ,and it may break someone's trust. In fact, trust lies on honesty. If you break someone's trust by your dishonesty, you will also break your relationship with them. Honesty is very important in all relationships, from lovers to families. Honesty builds harmonious relationship and, of course, trust. If you are not honest to the people you care about, then they will never ever trust on you. They will never count on you whenever they need help, because you are a dishonest person. Take the couples as examples, if one of them is dishonest to his or her partner, what would happen to their relationship? Do you think the person, who was fooled many times by his or her partner, will learn to trust his or her partner once more? This is uncertain, as dishonesty can destroy the important quality - trust.

Why is dishonesty a turn off when dating given that most people will lie when it benefits them?

Dating can be a thrilling, yet overwhelming experience. Both men and women generally try to put their best foot forward to leave a memorable and positive first impression when dating. Sometimes they lie by putting forth an image that is not really them, just to impress their dates. However, once the lying is discovered later on it can turn into a big discouragement and turn off. When the trust is gone from a relationship, it is really difficult to bounce back.
