He's Into You

Signal strength — Strong: this is a lot of green lights

What's probably going on — Most of what you described points the same direction. He starts conversations without needing a reason, he remembers things you told him, he makes his way to where you are, and he treats you differently from the rest of the group even with his friends watching. Any one of those could be friendliness. All of them together, consistently, usually means he likes you. The quiz still can't read his mind, and some people are this warm with everyone they're close to, but these signals are about as clear as they get.

Signs pointing yes

· He texts first and keeps the conversation going

· He asks about your plans and suggests joining them

· He talks to you the same way whether his friends are there or not

· He notices when something's off with you

Signs pointing the other way

· He hasn't actually said anything yet

· Some people are this warm with everyone they're close to

· Clear signals still aren't the same as asking

· You might be seeing what you hope to see, which everyone does

What to do next — Stop decoding and make one simple move: suggest a specific plan, just the two of you, like getting food after the game. If he says yes, you have your answer.

What not to do — Don't announce it to the group chat before he's said anything to you. Let him hear how you feel from you, not from a screenshot.

One line for you — At some point the signs are the answer. You might be there.
