WINDOWS OF THE SOUL.

It is said that the eyes are windows of the soul, but can one really tell the mind of a person by looking deep into his or her eyes? Sometimes it is difficult to know if a person is sincere or speaking the truth.
I once dated a guy who swore he was unmarried. One month into the relationship his wife showed up at my workplace and informed me that they had been married for several years and had five children. I suspect she must have followed his car (he gave me a ride to work on a few occasions) - and she also divulged that he had been doing this sort of thing for years.
It would really be nice if we could tell what a person is like first off just by looking into the eyes. Some say rapid blinking or avoiding eye contact means that person is not to be trusted. What do you think? How can you tell?

Some people are just good liars and don't care, so they would barely show any signs of lying. Other's would be tortured by their conscious if they did something terrible like that and would expose themselves easily. It all depends on the person. But just looking into their eyes may not tell you much.

@Kandae11 Completely agreed! There is no need of further explanation!

good thing his wife told you what he was doing - I wonder why she didn't leave him

Though shocked, I was glad that she informed me . When I told him about the visit he continued to deny having a wife and kids - but I realized that he was talking without making eye contact - something I hadn't noticed before. She said she was tired of it, but I suspect she will continue with him, because of his good financial position - and her being unemployed.

This is why we should get to know the person. If only we have the ability to read some one's mind.

The eyes are only part of it. There are other tell tale mannerisms to watch for as well. I don't go along with the eye contact thing or the blinking eyes. I rarely look a person in the eyes when talking to them. I don't know why I don't, but I don't feel comfortable doing so, it's like staring at them, and I don't do that. However, there are plenty of other things that can tell their story.

Well, I don’t believe how someone can read the brain by looking into the eyes! I think this is nonsense! I have found many sober looking girls very clever in disguise! I can't say what a person is like just by looking in the eyes!

@Kandae11 But I have seen many people speaking speaking lies being confident as if he is telling the truth! I don’t thinkI can differentiate people in that way! But some people can!

I find that people who are trying to hide something usually won't look into your eyes and that I find offputting.

Eek what a cad! I hope you gave him a swift kick you know where which would have dampened his ardor for good!

we can never fool others with our eyes. when i am joking, even with a serious straight face, my eyes can tell it all.

In the past I used to think "Eyes don't lie" well with time sadly I discovered eyes do lie. Though, sometimes When a person is really good from within it will show up in his or her eyes.

Oh how awful. 
I've also read articles about how we could tell that someone is not honest through their body language, but I can't really say I'm that good at "reading" people that way.

Sometimes it is just intuition but many times we don't trust it

If I have been close to someone for hours,days or weeks, that is enough closeness to help me know when they tell the truth. This is because, people rarely lie when you are getting to know them. They only start lying after they start liking you.
I am sensitive enough to notice a change in the tone of the voice, actions, silence and the type of friends hanging around the person.
If you are extremely slow to judging people, you can always tell when they lie or tell the truth because they will always feel safe around you.

What a terrible man. I've often thought it would be nice to know when someone is lying, but I have also been fooled many a time.
