Did You Know?
He laughed at one of your jokes — not politely, but deeply, like it hit something real. And when you looked at him through the screen, you realized it wasn’t the joke that landed. It was the fact that he wanted to feel joy with you.
He never asked what you were wearing. Just what kind of touch made you feel safe.
You sent him a meme. He replied with “Come over.” You laughed. But part of you checked your keys.
If he says “I just got out of something,” prepare for emotionally complex cuddles.
He likes all your photos, but only replies with “haha.” You’re dating, whether he knows it or not.
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.”
If he asks your sign and already knows what it means, cancel your plans — he’s dangerous (and hot).
You know it’s real when he adds you to his Close Friends list. In Pasadena, that’s basically a soft launch.
