WHY IT WORKS
Better than guessing. Better than the group chat.
It tells you what your friends won’t.
Your group chat hypes you up. I’ll tell you the truth — even when it’s the answer you didn’t want to hear.
No screenshots in the group chat.
No judgment, no oversharing, no one weighing in. Just you and a clear read, whenever the spiral hits.
It sees the pattern, not just one text.
I remember every excuse he’s made and every time his story shifted — so you stop falling for the same move twice.

FAQ
More about starting a conversation.
What's a good opening text to a guy?
Something specific to him that invites a real answer — a question about his interests, a callback to something shared, or a light playful line. Avoid 'hey' alone. Tell DearHim about him and I'll write one.
Is it okay to text him first?
Completely. Texting first shows confidence, not desperation. What matters is the message, not who sent it. I can help you make it land.
How do I avoid sounding boring?
Skip 'hey,' 'wyd,' and 'how are you.' Ask something he'll enjoy answering, or open with a bit of personality. Specific and warm always beats generic.
Is this really free?
Yes — getting an opener takes about 5 seconds with no signup. You only make an account if you want me to remember the context.
