He didn’t flirt with promises. He flirted with tone. With voice notes at midnight. With pauses between his words that sounded like held breath.
You admitted you don’t know how to be loved gently. He said, “That’s okay. I’ll be the lesson.”
He said “We’re just hanging,” but he’s holding your hand like it means something.
There was something about the way he said “Hey” that didn’t feel casual. It felt like he’d been building up to it for hours. Like it wasn’t a greeting — it was a soft launch of everything he hadn’t admitted yet.

If he says “lol you’re wild,” you’re 80% sure he wants to marry you.
He didn’t say anything when you cried. Just stayed.
If his bio says “looking for something real,” just know that may or may not include pants.
