1. He Texts With Intention

If he really likes you, he’ll text you with intention. His texts won’t just fill the time between you seeing each other. He’ll ask questions and provide thoughtful responses instead of sending ambiguous one-word answers.

2. He Checks In Without Being Prompted

When a guy cares about you, he wants to know how your day is going. He won’t wait for you to text first before asking how you’re doing. Consistent contact from him can feel comforting, not creepy.

3. His Timing Feels Considerate

If he knows you’re busy at work, he won’t bombard you with texts. If he texts late at night, he’ll either have a good reason or apologize for waking you up. He understands your schedule and doesn’t text you out of convenience.

4. He Remembers the Small Stuff

You mention a work presentation on Monday, and he follows up with you on Wednesday to see how it went. He remembers small things you tell him and will come back to them later. It’ll make you feel important instead of brushed off.

5. His Messages Sound Like Him

His texts don’t sound generic or like he’s trying too hard. His words match his voice and how he would talk to you in person. You’ll be able to hear his tone in your head as you read his texts.

6. He Doesn’t Vanish Mid-Conversation

If he gets pulled away, he’ll send you a quick text to let you know he’ll get back to you in a minute. He’ll come back to the conversation later and continue where he left off. You’ll never have to wonder if he lost interest.

7. He Uses Humor to Connect

There will be jokes, teasing, and laughing in his texts. He wants you to smile whenever you see your phone ding with his name. He includes you in the fun rather than flaunting it.

8. He Talks About Seeing You

Suggesting plans to hang out won’t be a big deal. He isn’t scared to say the words “let’s hang out” because he wants to. You become part of his future.

9. He’s Open About His Feelings

You won’t have to guess what his feelings are through mind games. He will tell you he likes you and loves you in his own way. You’ll feel secure instead of on edge.

10. He Respects Your Pace

If you take a while to reply, he doesn’t guilt you into talking. He knows that if you want to talk to him, you will. He has faith in the relationship rather than tests it.

Needless to say, texting a guy who cares about you is easy and pleasant. What men in love text compared to how players behave is very evident and can be eye-opening.

1. He Texts When It’s Convenient

His messages are sent when he’s bored or needs attention. He finds you when he has gaps of free time in his day. You fit into his schedule when it’s convenient for him.

2. His Replies Stay Surface-Level

Conversations with him are fun, but never go deeper than light flirting. He dodges questions that might force him to care about you or your life. He keeps things casual so he doesn’t get attached.

3. He Loves Late-Night Texts

The majority of his texts will come late at night when his day is already done. You’ll find these types of messages are done when he’s bored or looking to sleep with you. It’ll make you feel used.

4. He Takes Forever to Respond

Sometimes he can go hours or even days without any explanation, even if you’re in the middle of a conversation. When he responds, he’ll act like hours/days didn’t go by where he didn’t reply. He keeps you wondering why you matter one minute and then the next you don’t.

5. He Overuses Compliments

He will shower you with compliments when he first starts talking to you, and sometimes even before he’s met you. What he says may sound sweet, but it’s meaningless. Him pouring praise on you is like a fastball with no strike zone.

6. He Avoids Making Plans

If hanging out is brought up, he will be non-committal or send mixed signals about when he can see you. He likes to leave plans open-ended and never sets a date. He wants you waiting for him rather than counting down the days.

7. He Turns Everything Flirty

He can turn any serious conversation into a joke or even something dirty. He doesn’t plan on feeling any type of emotion from you or you from him. He jokes around so he doesn’t have to be accountable for his words.

8. He Resurfaces Out of Nowhere

You’ll hear from him right when you stop thinking about him. He won’t acknowledge the months he ghosted you only to show back up when it’s convenient for him. He will disappear and reappear as if nothing happened.

9. He Asks Very Little About You

Unless he’s asking about you, every conversation will lead back to him or end abruptly. He doesn’t ask personal questions because he won’t have an interest in your answers. He’s just curious enough to want to lay with you.

You will constantly wonder where you stand with him. He gives mixed signals so you stay interested in wanting to know more about him. He leads you on purpose.
