Have I made any mistakes?

Anna had been dating Phillip for some months and was head over heels in love with him. He was an attractive and intelligent man who fulfilled all her demands on men. Then the warning signs started to blink in her mind because of Phillip's small lies. The more he lied, the less she felt any attraction to him. Her intuition told her his small lies would gradually turn into big lies and even worse, into cheating, stealing and adultery. Life is too short to waste it on jerks, she thought. So the next time Phillip called her on the phone, instead of her, he heard the reply from the answering machine telling him that Anna hated liers, and they shouldn't bother calling her again.

Take my suggestions with a pinch of salt.

head over heels [strike]in love with[/strike] for him.
...demands on men->"demands of men" or "expectations of men"
...the less she felt any attraction to him.-> the less attraction she felt for him.
he heard the reply from...-> he would hear a reply from...
liers-> liars

Anna had been dating Phillip for some months and was head over heels in love with him. He was an attractive and intelligent man who was everything she could hope for. Then the warning signs started to blink in her mind because of Phillip's small lies. The more he lied, the less she felt any attraction to him. Her intuition told her his small lies would gradually turn into big lies and even worse, into cheating, stealing and adultery. Life is too short to waste it on jerks, she thought. So the next time Phillip called her on the phone, instead of her, he heard the outgoing message from the answering machine telling him that Anna hated , and he shouldn't bother calling her again.

Perhaps:

The more he lied the more doubts she had.
