Progression and conscious actions

When evaluating a relationship's progress, it's important to assess it holistically. Consider if it is progressing in multiple dimensions, such as quality time spent together, future planning, and meaningful actions backed by consistent progress. Sometimes, people may engage in grand gestures or say meaningful things to win someone over, but it may not reflect their genuine intentions. This behavior can be a red flag of irresponsibility and lack of care. While it may be painful, recognizing these actions as inorganic can serve as a valuable lesson and help avoid further heartbreak.
