​Texts of Death

If these signs describe your communication with anyone, you're better off moving on:
  • They never respond to anything you send them
  • Zero interaction means zero things are happening. There's no momentum
  • They take 24hr or longer to respond on the reg
  • Their texts are only work or school related
  • They do not invite you to do anything over text
  • There is no emotion, emojis in their responses or messages in general
  • They are not sharing any personal information about themselves or family

Just Sex

He puts the charm on. He tells you he is looking for a relationship. After a few dates you begin sleeping together and the communication turns into:
  • They only notice how you look. Anyone truly interested will mention other aspects of your personality that they find attractive. 
  • Conversations always turn sexual. Regardless of the topic of conversation, they find a way to bring sex into the conversation
  • Texts and emails are flirty and sexual: "What are you wearing right now"? vs "how was your day?"
  • Dates are pizza and a movie at your place: If someone wants to court you, they will put thought and energy into your dates. There are plenty of things to do even in a Pandemic
  • They get angry if you don't want to have sex. There is initiation quickly to start getting physical. When you say no, the response is irritated and angry

​Date Me

Picture
It's difficult to tell if someone likes you unless they actually put themselves out there and say, "I like you." There are ways to tell if there is a future in the time you're spending together:
  • They always initiate the conversation, text, call
  • They want to impress you, because they care what you think 
  • Their guard drops. Your conversations become deep and you're both willing to show levels of vulnerability
  • They are checking you out! Men, specifically, are visual creatures. If you notice him staring at you longer than usual, take that as a compliment 
  • They do not check their phone - it will not matter if work is emailing, or who won the game. You are the priority
  • They remember things about you which you don't remember. They recall something you said or did previous that caught their attention which means they are thinking about you.
