FAQ
More about 'lol'.
What does it mean when a guy just says lol?
Usually it's filler or tone-softening, not real laughter. With genuine engagement around it, it's warm; on its own, repeatedly, it signals low energy. DearHim helps you read which.
How do I respond to a 'lol'?
Don't try to revive a flat 'lol' with extra effort. Ask something specific or share something with substance to give the thread somewhere to go. I can help.
Does 'lol' mean he's not interested?
Not by itself — but a pattern of one-word 'lol' replies with no investment can mean coasting. Look at whether he ever adds more.
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.
