Signs Someone Likes You Over Text (vs Just Being Polite)
When you cannot see a face or hear a voice, reading interest gets tricky. The good news is that people who are actually into a conversation behave differently from people who are being polite. Here is what to look for.
They ask you questions back
Politeness answers. Interest asks. If they keep turning the conversation back to you, they want to keep it going, not just get through it.
Their replies get longer
Watch the length. When someone is invested, their messages tend to grow, add detail, and include little jokes. Short and clipped usually means the energy is fading.
They keep it going, not you
If you are always the one reviving the chat, that tells you something. Mutual interest feels like both people are pulling their weight.
They remember details
When someone brings up something you said earlier, they were paying attention. That memory is one of the clearest signs a chat means more than passing the time.
