REAL DECODES
The contact name, decoded.
Your name with a heart emoji
He's into you
Emojis on your contact are tiny, voluntary declarations. He sees your name often and wanted it to feel good.
Full first and last name
Neutral or early
Formal saving can just mean early days — not a verdict. Watch whether it warms up as you get closer.
Saved with where he met you
Read it lightly
'[Name] from the bar' is practical, not cold — common when he's talking to a few people. Don't over-read it either way.

FAQ
More about the nickname.
Does saving me with a nickname mean he likes me?
A warm, personal nickname or an emoji usually signals real affection — it's a private choice no one made him make. A formal save is more neutral. DearHim can read yours in context.
What if he saved me with a plain name?
It's often just early-days practicality, not a cold signal. Watch whether his warmth elsewhere is growing — that matters more than a contact label.
Should I read into the emoji he used?
A little. Hearts and playful emojis lean affectionate. But weigh it alongside how he actually treats you, not on its own.
Is this really free?
