How to Read Signals on Dating Apps
Signs someone is genuinely interested
They ask you questions in return, reference things from earlier in the conversation, respond within a reasonable time frame, and use exclamation marks or emojis to convey enthusiasm. The biggest signal of all is when they suggest meeting up or enthusiastically agree when you do.
Signs someone is just being polite
One-word answers, never asking questions back, taking days to reply, and vague responses to date suggestions are all signs of low interest. Do not mistake politeness for attraction. Someone who wants to see you will make it easy, not difficult.
