REAL DECODES

Asking for your number, by what follows.

He asks, then texts soon after

Genuine interest

Asking and actually using it quickly means he wanted the line to you, not just the digits. That's real intent.

He asks but never texts

Collector

Getting your number and going silent often means he liked the moment more than the follow-through. Don't chase it.

He asks to move off a dating app

Good sign

Wanting to take it off the app to real texting usually signals he's more interested than the average match.

He asks in a group setting

Read it lightly

A casual ask in a group can be friendly or interested. What he does with it afterward tells you which.

WHY IT WORKS

Better than guessing. Better than the group chat.

HONEST

It tells you what your friends won’t.

Your group chat hypes you up. I’ll tell you the truth — even when it’s the answer you didn’t want to hear.

PRIVATE

No screenshots in the group chat.

No judgment, no oversharing, no one weighing in. Just you and a clear read, whenever the spiral hits.

IT REMEMBERS

It sees the pattern, not just one text.

I remember every excuse he’s made and every time his story shifted — so you stop falling for the same move twice.

FAQ

More about him asking for your number.

Does asking for my number mean he's interested?

It's a sign of interest, but the follow-through matters more. Asking and then actually texting you is the real signal. Asking and going quiet is just collecting. DearHim helps you read it.

What if he asked but never texted?

Then the interest was shallow or in-the-moment. Don't take on the chasing — someone who wants to talk to you will use the number.

Should I text him first after giving my number?

If you want to, sure — there's no rule. But it's also fair to let the person who asked make the first move. I can help you decide.

Is this really free?

Yes — decoding takes about 5 seconds with no signup. You only make an account if you want me to remember your conversations.
