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.
Does 'maybe' mean yes?
Rarely on its own. 'Maybe' only leans yes when it comes with a specific reason and he circles back to lock in a real plan. A 'maybe' left hanging is a soft no in text — believe the follow-through, not the word.
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.
