Long typing after a serious message
Choosing words carefullyDrafting and redrafting after something heavy usually means he cares about getting the response right — a good sign, not a bad one.
He keeps typing and stopping.

REAL DECODES
The typing bubble, decoded.
Types, stops, then sends something short
Held something backA long bubble followed by a tiny reply often means he wrote more and deleted it. There may be more he's not saying.
Types after you asked a direct question
Weighing how honest to beHesitation on a direct question can mean he's deciding how much truth to give. The pause itself is information.
Bubble appears, then nothing for hours
Avoiding the replyStarting to type and then going quiet for a long time can mean he doesn't want to answer yet. Don't fill the silence for him.
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 the typing bubble.
What does it mean when he keeps typing and stopping?
Usually he's choosing his words, second-guessing, or holding something back — especially after a serious or direct message. DearHim reads the context to tell you which it likely is.
Should I say something if I see him typing and stopping?
Give him room first. If it drags on, a light, low-pressure message can make it easier for him to respond. I'll help you write one.
Does typing and stopping mean he's lying?
Not on its own — it more often means care or hesitation than dishonesty. Read it alongside the rest of the conversation.
Is this really free?
Yes — reading the situation takes about 5 seconds with no signup. You only make an account if you want me to remember your conversations.
