“Texting is an easy way to make it look like he is interested. It is an easy way to keep you invested while doing the minimum effort.

All he has to do is send you a sweet message out of the blue and you feel like he cares. All he has to do is press a few buttons on a screen — and since you are so used to people ghosting you, you are flattered that he is actually paying attention.

Your expectations are so low that you think the fact he answers your messages instead of ignoring you for three days straight makes him a gentleman. And that is a dangerous way to think.

It’s nice of him to ask about your day and to tell you about his. It’s great that you can talk to him. And you know what, he probably does like you. He likes talking to you. He likes flirting with you. He likes having you in his life. But that doesn’t mean he wants anything more. That doesn’t mean he wants to date you.”
