💌 Dear Riah: “He Acts Like He Likes Me… But Does He?”
Dear Riah,
I’ve been talking to this guy for a while, and I honestly can’t tell what he wants. Some days he’s texting me all day, complimenting me, and making me feel like he actually likes me. Other days, he disappears for hours or acts like he barely cares.
I don’t want to be the girl who overthinks every little thing, but I also don’t want to waste my time on someone who isn’t serious. How do I know if he actually likes me or if he just likes the attention?
Signed,
Confused Girl
Dear Confused Girl,
First of all, you’re not crazy for being confused. Mixed signals are confusing because they are confusing. When someone genuinely likes you, you shouldn’t have to spend all your time trying to decode what they mean.
Pay attention to consistency, not just moments. Anyone can be sweet when they’re bored, lonely, or wanting attention. The real question is: does he show up even when it’s not convenient for him?
Does he make plans? Does he check on you? Does he care about your life outside of flirting? Does he make you feel secure, or are you constantly wondering where you stand?
Don’t focus only on whether he likes you. Ask yourself if you like how he makes you feel. Someone can be attractive, fun, and exciting, but still not be the right person for you.
The right person won’t make you feel like you have to compete for their attention. You deserve someone who is clear about wanting you around.
— Riah 💌
