REAL DECODES

“Maybe,” decoded.

“maybe” to a specific plan

Leaning no

A 'maybe' to a concrete invite usually means he's keeping his options open. Don't rearrange your life around it.

“maybe, let me check” then follows up

A real maybe

When 'maybe' comes with a reason and an actual follow-up, it can be genuine. The follow-through is the difference.

“maybe” with no follow-up

Soft no

A 'maybe' that never turns into a yes is a no wearing politeness. Take the hint and keep your plans.

Always 'maybe,' never commits

Avoiding decisions

A pattern of maybes signals someone who won't commit. Believe the pattern over the occasional spark.

FAQ

More about “maybe.”

What does it mean when a guy says maybe?

Often it's a soft no that keeps his options open — unless it comes with a reason and a real follow-up. DearHim reads the context to tell you which.

How should I respond to 'maybe'?

Don't chase it. Make your own plans and let him come correct with a real yes if he means it. I'll help you reply without pressure.

Is 'maybe' always a no?

Not always, but a maybe with no follow-through usually is. Genuine maybes turn into yeses fairly quickly.

Is this really free?

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