You know, I could take it easy today, give you some soft, gentle guidance, whisper sweet nothings about self-worth and healthy love. But let’s be real—I like a bit of trouble, and trouble likes me, so why start changing now?
Now, listen up, because I need you to stop falling for the "I love you" words when the actions don’t match. That’s not love; that’s love bombing—aka emotional fireworks with zero foundation. Don’t believe the words. Believe the effort.
So, let’s get into it. How do you know if he’s really into you? And how do you know if he’s just playing games?
Three Signs He’s Actually Into You
1. He Makes Plans and Follows Through
No vague “let’s catch up sometime” texts. If he says he’ll take you to dinner next Friday, your booty better be in a seat by 7 PM with a menu in hand. No excuses. No “something came up.”
2. He’s Curious About You (And Actually Listens!)
He remembers that your favorite snack is BBQ Shapes and that your dog Scooby is the little heartbreaker of the house. He asks about your day—not just as a formality, but because he actually cares.
3. His Actions Match His Words
He doesn’t just say, “You’re amazing, I want to be with you”—he shows it. He makes an effort to fit into your world, respects your time, and doesn’t disappear for three days with a weak excuse like “I fell asleep”.
Three Signs He’s Just Playing You
1. He’s All Talk, No Action
He says he “misses you” but only texts at 11 PM when he’s bored. He promises you the moon but won’t even commit to a coffee date. He’s selling dreams, babe, and you’re not buying.
2. You’re Always the One Reaching Out
If you stopped texting, would you ever hear from him again? If the answer is probably not, then congratulations—you’re doing all the heavy lifting while he sits back and enjoys the attention.
3. You Feel Confused More Than Confident
A good guy makes you feel secure. A player makes you feel like you need a detective badge to figure out what’s going on. If you’re constantly overanalyzing his messages or trying to “decode” his behavior, that’s your sign.
Final Word, Sis
If he’s serious, he’ll show it. If he’s playing games, don’t play along. You’re not a toy, and your time is too precious to waste.
