6. He Answers Questions With A Question
Answering a question with a question is the perfect tool for stalling a conversation. It buys time to figure out what you’re going to say or what lie you are going to come up with.
If a man is using this method, intentional or not, he is deflecting away from the truth. He is likely trying to turn the table back to you or shift the conversation away from a touchy subject. “if he refuses to answer a direct question at all, it’s probably because he can’t think of a lie fast enough, so he simply won’t answer,” explains Madame Noire. “When a person is being forthcoming and truthful, he won’t feel the need to refuse to answer a question, and the answer will be immediate.”
