๐ŸŒ€ Talking stage

Plans keep getting vague

What it usually means

'We should do something sometime' is not a plan, it's a mood. People who want to see you propose a day. Vagueness that survives more than two rounds isn't shyness, it's a soft no that's hoping you'll do the work of hearing it.

What it doesn't mean

It's not necessarily that he doesn't like you. It may be that he likes you at exactly the level of effort he is currently making, and no more.

The one tell

Offer one specific day. A yes-or-no question can't be answered vaguely. What comes back tells you everything.

What you could send
