'ok...'
Mild displeasure
'ok...' rarely means ok. The dots add reluctance or disappointment he isn't saying out loud. Something's off.

REAL DECODES
..., by the context.
'so...'
He's leading somewhere
A trailing 'so...' is a runway. He's building up to a question or a plan and wants you to lean in.
'I don't know...'
Genuine hesitation
Here the dots are real uncertainty. He's thinking out loud, not playing a game. Give him room to finish the thought.
'...' alone
Reaction, not reply
Standalone dots usually mean 'I have thoughts I'm not typing.' It's a prompt for you to ask what's up.

FAQ
More about the ellipsis.
What does '...' mean from a guy?
It signals an unspoken tone — hesitation, mild annoyance, or a lead-in to more. The word it follows tells you which. DearHim reads it in context so you stop guessing.
Is '...' passive aggressive?
It can be, especially after 'ok' or 'fine.' But it can also just be a thinking pause. The surrounding message and his recent energy decide.
How do I respond to '...'?
Don't fill the silence anxiously. A calm, direct question ('what's up?') is better than three guesses. I'll help you ask without sounding worried.
