REAL DECODES
Stringing along, by the signs.
He revives things right when you pull away
Keeping you on the hook
A burst of attention exactly when you start to leave is often about keeping you around, not moving forward.
Enough contact to stay hopeful, never more
Breadcrumbing
Minimum-effort check-ins that keep you interested but never deepen are a form of stringing along.
He avoids every ‘where is this going’ talk
Dodging is the answer
Consistently sidestepping the future usually means he doesn’t want to give an answer that would make you leave.

FAQ
More about being strung along.
What are the signs he’s stringing me along?
Vague ‘someday’ promises, attention that spikes when you pull away, minimum-effort contact, and dodging any talk about the future. DearHim helps you see the pattern instead of the potential.
How is stringing along different from taking it slow?
Slow still moves forward with real effort and honesty. Stringing along stays flat — enough to keep you, never enough to progress.
What should I do if he’s stringing me along?
Ask directly where things stand, then believe his actions over his answer. If nothing changes, choosing yourself is self-respect. DearHim can help you word it.
