Let’s remove the fantasy first. Let’s get this out of the way before you waste another night overthinking screenshots, timestamps, and “what did he mean by that emoji?” When someone genuinely likes you, you don’t spiral. You don’t poll your friends. You don’t Google signs at 2 a.m. You don’t consume dating content like it’s survival rations. You feel grounded. Predictability replaces anxiety. Consistency replaces obsession. Love behaves like a compulsion. Like a drug. They need access to you. And need is loud.
