"Actions speak louder than words" is an idiom for a reason.

Deb- I know from what you have told me about yourself that you have reason to doubt your judgement about men, but in this case the rash declaration from the man that he is honest does sound inappropriate.

Honesty isn't declared....it's proven.

never trust somebody who says they can be trusted without being asked!!! never trust somebody who says they can be trusted. never trust somebody who says you can trust them.
never trust anybody unless you know they are trustworthy.
an honest person does not have to brag about being trustworthy.

Never trust anybody that tells you that quickly how honest they are...

If someone has to remind you, then they're not.
