“You’re not like the others.”

It’s flattering, we won’t deny it.
But this overused compliment is sometimes a prefabricated formula for creating a quick connection.
Beware: if actions don’t match words, you might be dealing with a very rehearsed script .

“I’ve never felt this before.”

It sounds profound… especially if he says it after three dates .
But be careful: this line is often used to heighten the emotional intensity , make you feel special, and quickly build trust.
True feelings need time to develop .

“We don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to.”

Put that way, it sounds like a sign of respect.
But if they dwell on that point too much or bring it up frequently , they might be subtly trying to steer the relationship in one direction .
True respect is shown by accepting “no” without insistence or beating around the bush .

“You’re the only one I talk to like this.”

It’s always nice to feel special.
But if he’s never introduced you to his friends , disappears for days at a time, or is vague about his life , that supposed exclusivity might not be so believable .
A genuine connection is demonstrated through actions, not just words.
