Just sent you a little texty text

It can be hard sometimes to tell if a guy is really into you during the beginning of a relationship/hook-up. Here’s a handy checklist to decode his actions. 

1. Does he always text you back/ answer your texts?

If Yes: This is a good sign. Most times this means he respects you/likes you enough to actually keep the conversation going.

If No: You definitely want to ask yourself is this guy is worth your time. He can’t even take the 10 seconds to text you back? If a guy wants to talk to you, trust me, he will. Onto the next one.

2.Does he make plans in advance?

If Yes: You can probably trust this guy. Making plans in advance means he sees a future with you and wants to tie you down before you can make other plans.

If No: You might be seen as a last minute date or just something to do if he is bored. If he is calling you at 5 p.m. to see if you are free at 6, his friend might have ditched him for dinner. This isn’t a sign to not trust him, it is just a sign to be cautious of his intentions with you.

3. Does he cancel plans last minute often?

If Yes: Cancelling once or twice because of a final he forgot or because he is sick is one thing, but cancelling multiple times is generally a sign that he won’t commit to you. If he really liked you, there would be no way in hell he would cancel a chance to get to know you unless he had to.

If No: This is a great sign! This means he values your time and wants to actually spend time with you. He isn’t afraid to miss one night out with the boys to have a chance with you.

4. Does he only contact you when he is drunk?

If Yes: You’re a booty call. Do not keep talking to this guy.

If No: Good sign. He actually cares about what you’re during the day.

5. Does he text other girls while around you?

If Yes: It is possible that he has girl friends (I mean I have TONS of guy friends), but if he is sneaking and hiding the texts from you, I would not trust this guy as far as I could throw him. Maybe he is texting them how great you are, but probably not. Seriously, do not fool yourself.

If No: This is generally a good sign. I mean think about it – your time with him is more important than his time texting them.

6. Does he bring up the future?

If Yes: This means he sees you as more than just a two week hookup or a random person to meet up with when he is bored. This is a great sign! Just remember to always let him bring it up; you don’t want to seem like a stage 5 clinger.

If No: If things just started out between you two, do not fret! Not talking about the future when you first start to date is 100 percent okay. However, if you have been hooking up for a while and he never tries to make you his girlfriend or tell you that he sees a future with you; I do not think I would trust him.

7. Does he let you post pictures of you two together?

If Yes: He does not mind having other people see you two together, which means he’s likely not hooking up with anyone else.

If No: I would be wary of this guy. He might have other girls on the side that he does not want to scare off by posting a picture of you two.

When it comes to trust in love, always remember that actions speak MUCH louder than words. Anyone can say anything, but if he truly likes you his actions will show it.
