Youre stuck in stasis.
However, you might mistake someone with good intentions for an almost.
Maybe they arent stringing you along.

Maybe they simply arent ready to put a label on the relationship because they want to take things slow.
Here are a few signs they are more than an almost.
Theyre a future partner.

They simply want to take things slow.
Maybe youll be together once everything settles down.
They let the world know theyre interested in you.
They arent hiding you away.
They arent picking and choosing when to pay attention to you.
They arent making you feel like second best.
Theyre introducing you to friends and family.
Theyre getting to know you on a deep, emotional level.
Theyre clear about how much they like you and arent sending mixed signals.
You dont feel like youre being used.
Their interest in you seems genuine.
Theres no doubt in your mind that they mean what they say when theyre speaking to you.
The relationship is progressing.
Maybe you arent ready to move in together yet, but you have been taking baby steps.
Youve been becoming more and more involved in their life.
Youve been getting to know them better and better.
They arent pulling away once you get close.
Theyre letting you in one step at a time.
Its simply taking a while.
Theyre honest with you.
Theyre honest with you about their feelings.
They keep you in the loop so that you never feel like youre on separate pages.
It hasnt beenthatlong of a wait.
If theyve been keeping you waiting years, or even months, then they might be an almost.
But if your relationship is pretty fresh, its okay if it takes time to develop.
Some people need to move slower than others.
Some people need to feel comfortable before they can open up their heart.
If theyre the right person and are treating you well, patience could lead you to becoming a couple.
But you never want to wait too long.
You never want to put your life on hold for someone who could be an almost.
