Sound familiar?

You're not clueless. You just can't hear her tone through a screen.

Totally normal to panic when she goes quiet. Here's what's actually happening, and what to send instead.

She sent

I'm just really busy this week

What "I'm busy" really tests

She's not rejecting you. She's watching whether you can handle a little distance.

Send thisNo pressure. Catch up next week?

You sent

Hey?did I do something?

The double-text trap

Babe. That's not interest, that's anxiety. And she can feel it from the lock screen.

Send this insteadNothing. Give it a day. Seriously.

She sent

haha

The one-word reply

Not a no, not a yes. She's giving you nothing to work with, so stop trying to work with it.

Send thisOk settle something for me. Best late-night snack?

Who's decoding

Hi, I'm Nora. Your friend who's fluent in her.

I'm on your side. I'll explain why people text the way they do, and I'll never make you feel dumb for not knowing.

A little sarcastic, always affectionate. The joke's about the situation, never about you.

Warm: no shaming, no "men are clueless"
Wry: honest about the awkward stuff
Direct: every answer ends with what to send

What if my situation is weird?

Every situation feels weird from the inside. Most of them come down to the same two mistakes. And when you're not sure, run your reply through the simulator before you send it.
