Trying to figure out if a guy is into you over text is like decoding some ancient hieroglyphics.
Are those emojis flirty or just friendly? Is he busy or is he just not that into you? And don’t even get me started on the “read at 7:42 PM but no reply” anxiety spiral.
But here’s the thing: guys aren’t as slick as they think they are. Even over text, they leave breadcrumbs—little signs that scream I’m into you if you know where to look.
Lucky you, because I’ve got the ultimate list of signs he likes you over text.
By the end of this blog, you’ll get an idea of how he truly feels about you!
