Did You Know?
You know it’s more than casual when he adds you to his Spotify blends.
He said “Emotionally available,” but flinched when you asked what his favorite childhood memory was.
If his profile has a mirror selfie and no smile, expect late-night depth and soft chaos.
If he says “looking for chill,” be ready for Netflix, cuddles, and a suspiciously long eye contact moment.
If he calls you “cutie” twice in one convo, you’re already halfway into something.
You both went quiet at the same time. No one panicked.
If he says “don’t catch feelings,” he already has.
You told him you sometimes pretend not to care. He replied, “That’s fine. I’ll care enough for both of us until you’re ready.”
Trending Now in Bethesda
You say “I’m done.” He says, “Not yet you’re not.” You aren’t.
You catch yourself smiling at the screen like he can see you. He can’t. Or maybe he can. Because now he’s smiling too.
He turns his screen dark, but you keep talking. Somehow it feels more raw this way.
You ask if he’s talking to anyone else. He says “not like this.” You believe him. You want to.
He calls you “man” once. It hits differently. You’re still thinking about it.
You’re more than a profile. And the guy who sees that? He might already be looking — from Bethesda.
