Did You Know?
If he said “I’m complicated,” believe him. In Joliet, that’s usually code for “I’m hot, but unavailable.”
“Not ready for a relationship” = I’ll treat you like a partner until it gets real.
You didn’t plan to save the voice note. But now it lives in your files, like a secret you play only when no one’s watching.
He sent “wyd” at midnight, but followed up with a Spotify link and an “I miss this vibe.”
He flirted by sending you 7 memes and 1 “you looked hot yesterday.” That’s efficiency in Joliet.

He replies late, but always says “Sorry, was thinking about you.” Smooth, confusing, effective.
He didn’t flirt. He tracked your moods, remembered your drink order, and sent voice notes that started with your name. You didn’t realize that was his version of romance until much later — when someone else didn’t do any of that.
