Is He Into Me or Just Bored? My Brain Can’t Handle This

Okay, real talk: how do you actually know if a girl is into you or just killing time? Because I swear, I’m losing my mind over this. She’ll text me first, invite me to her friends’ stuff, ask for my opinion on everything from movies to what shoes to buy. But then she’ll go a whole day without replying and I spiral. Like, does she want me around or am I just the emotional support guy until someone hotter comes along? She’s introduced me to her parents (??), asks about my day, and sometimes just shows up with my favorite snacks. But then she’ll mention some dude from work and I’m suddenly the jealous psycho in my own head. I want to ask her straight up but I’m terrified of looking needy. Is this what dating is now? Overanalyzing every text and wondering if I’m special or just a placeholder? Someone please tell me I’m not the only one losing sleep over this. #NoFilter #DatingStruggles #Overthinking #RomanticRelationships
