THE SHORT ANSWER

Effort is one of the clearest dating signals because it costs time, attention, or inconvenience. Real interest usually becomes easier—not harder—to see over time. In this case, specific thoughtful gestures is a positive signal only when the rest of his behavior is clear, respectful, and consistent.

WHAT NOT TO ASSUME

One moment is not the whole relationship.
