REAL DECODES
“Nothing serious,” decoded.
Says it but acts like a boyfriend
Mixed signals — protect yourself
When words and behavior conflict, side with the words. Acting committed without committing keeps you available, not chosen.
Says it after you wanted more
Managing expectations
He's drawing a line so you stop expecting more. Respect the line by deciding if casual actually works for you.
You secretly hope to change it
The trap to avoid
Staying in something casual hoping to convert it usually costs you the most. Want him as he is, or choose yourself.
