Is he talking to someone else quiz

The signal is usually in the rhythm, not any single text. Look at whether his replies have been getting shorter over a couple of weeks, whether he stopped asking you questions, and whether he still remembers the details you told him. A man who is invested tends to circle back to what you said last week. A man who is spreading his attention tends to answer the message in front of him and nothing more.

Also notice what he does with plans. Has he suggested a time, or does he always wait for you to bring it up? Vague talk about "sometime" is cheap. A specific day is not. Read the pattern across several days before deciding anything, because one slow afternoon tells you almost nothing.

When you feel the urge to find out who he is talking to, that is the moment to slow down and respond to what he actually said. Replies that stay on the thing he raised, that ask a light follow-up about his week, or that suggest a concrete next step give him room to show you more. They also keep you from sounding like you are auditing him.

If you do want to know where things stand, ask about the two of you rather than about other people. Something like asking what he is hoping for from getting to know someone works better than asking whether he is seeing anyone. The first invites a real answer about intent. The second invites a defensive one.

Timing changes how a message reads. A late-night message that asks where things are going usually sounds heavier than it is, and the next morning it can look like you were stewing. Send your check-in in the middle of the day when you are calm and he is likely to be reachable.

Give a slow reply about two days before you follow up once. If he responds warmly to that, the pace is fine. If he stays silent after a second message with nothing new in it, stop chasing. The fact that he does not come back to you after a clear, friendly message is itself the answer, and you can let it be the answer without sending anything else.
