How to tell if someone TRULY likes you or they're just being NICE

Summary

The video addresses how to discern genuine interest from mere politeness in social interactions. The key point is that you can't truly know someone's intentions unless they explicitly communicate them. To gauge interest, observe actions: if someone shows consistent interest without you initiating, they likely care. If they repeatedly decline without rescheduling, they may not be interested. It's important not to take this personally, as different people have different preferences. For personalized advice, the speaker invites viewers to join their Patreon community.

Q & A

Question 1: How can you truly understand someone else's intentions towards you?

You can't fully understand someone's intentions unless they verbalize them. Body language and other techniques can help, but they're not 100% accurate.

Question 2: What is a general rule of thumb to determine if someone is genuinely interested in you?

Let people's actions speak for themselves. If they make an effort to spend time with you or reschedule plans, it shows genuine interest.

Question 3: What should you do if someone is always busy when you suggest hanging out?

Take a step back and see if they initiate contact or make an effort to reschedule. If they don't, it indicates a lack of interest.

Question 4: How should you interpret someone's constant busyness without them offering alternative plans?

It's a sign that they may not be interested in spending time with you. Don't take it personally; people have different preferences.

No, you can't read someone's mind. You can only make educated guesses based on their actions and what they tell you.

Direct communication is crucial. Asking and having open conversations can clarify intentions better than assumptions.

It likely means they are not interested in spending time with you. It's better to move on rather than persist.

Accept it and move on. Not everyone will want to get to know you, and it's important not to take it personally.
