Did You Know?
“Emotionally intelligent” in Scottsdale sometimes just means he knows when to send a 😩 instead of words.
He didn’t post about you. Didn’t make a playlist. Didn’t grand gesture anything. He just texted “Home safe?” And you realized that meant more than all the rest combined.
You sent a selfie. He said nothing. Just stared at the screen like it said too much.
You haven’t really flirted until a guy in Scottsdale replied to your story with one 🔥 and ruined your concentration for 48 hours.
He said “not my type,” then stared into your soul for three hours at a rooftop bar.
He didn’t respond right away. You almost panicked — but when his reply finally came, it wasn’t just a message. It was a paragraph. It was layered. And somewhere in there, he said, “I didn’t want to send anything until I could say what I meant.” That’s when you realized: he takes you seriously.
He smiled at something you said under your breath. That’s when you knew he was paying attention — not just watching, but reading.
There was a moment — just one — where he looked like he might cry. You didn’t ask why. You just slowed your breathing to match his.
