Future-faking is a sweet fantasy with no receipt.
It sounds romantic.
It steals your time.
They don’t want to lose you.
They just don’t want to commit.
Here are 4 lines that expose future-faking:
“We should totally do that sometime.”
What it means: I want the credit without doing anything.
“When things calm down, I’m all in.”
What it means: I’m buying time with words.
“I can see us doing that together.”
What it means: I like the idea of you - not the effort.
“Soon. I promise.”
What it means: If I sound confident, you’ll stop asking.
Here’s the proof test.
Don’t argue. Don’t interrogate. Don’t explain.
Let reality talk.
Send this:
“Okay. Pick a day and time this week.”
Then stop talking.
If they want you, they’ll choose.
If they want access, they’ll hesitate.
And when the reply is fog - “we’ll see,” “I’ll let you know,” “this week is crazy” - you’ve got your answer.
Words don’t tell the truth.
Actions do.
