I've been seeing someone for a month. They agree to plans but never initiate anything themselves. How do I know if they actually like me or just don't know how to say no?

Look at their follow‑through, not just their words. A polite person will say yes but won't remember small details you shared. Someone genuinely interested will ask questions about your life, suggest specific dates, and text first sometimes. Try this: stop initiating for one week. If they reach out with a concrete plan, you have your answer. If you hear nothing, you've saved yourself months of confusion.
