REAL DECODES
“Maybe,” decoded.
“maybe, let me check” then follows up
A real maybeWhen '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 noA 'maybe' that never turns into a yes is a no wearing politeness. Take the hint and keep your plans.
Always 'maybe,' never commits
Avoiding decisionsA 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.
