He Likes Me, But Talks to Other Girls
What tarot sees when he's interested but keeping options open
You feel the connection. The chemistry is real. He tells you you're special. But you know—he's active on dating apps, he texts other girls, he's "just talking" to people. So what does it mean? And more importantly, what should you do?
What Tarot Sees
This is one of the most common readings I do. The cards almost always show Seven of Cups—he's exploring options, unwilling to choose. Often Three of Wands—he's looking outward, seeing what else is out there. Sometimes Knight of Wands—he enjoys the chase, the variety, the attention from multiple sources.
But here's what the cards consistently reveal: liking you and being ready to commit to you are different things. He can feel genuine attraction while still keeping his options open. That's not confusion— that's a choice.
The Cards That Explain It
Seven of Cups
He's surrounded by options and isn't ready to choose one. He likes you—but he also likes the freedom of possibility. Until he decides what he wants, you're one of many, not the one.
Three of Cups
He's social, enjoying connections with multiple people. Not necessarily cheating—but not exclusive either. If you're not official, he doesn't see the problem. Do you?
Two of Wands
He's planning—but not necessarily with you. This card shows someone weighing options, looking at what else is possible. He might like you, but he's not ready to close doors.
The Devil
Addiction to variety. He's hooked on the dopamine of new connections, the thrill of multiple options. It's not about you not being enough— it's about his attachment to the chase itself.
Why He Does It
Fear of missing out. What if someone "better" is just one swipe away? He likes you—but not enough to stop looking.
Validation seeking. Multiple connections feed his ego. It's not about connection—it's about attention. You might be a source, not a destination.
Not ready to commit. He genuinely likes you. He's also genuinely not ready to be exclusive. These two truths coexist.
Justifying behavior. "We're not official, so it's fine." Technically true. But if it bothers you, that's information too.
What You Should Do
Define the relationship. If you want exclusivity, ask for it. His reaction will tell you everything. If he's not ready after a reasonable amount of time, he's showing you who he is.
Decide what you want. Can you be okay with him talking to others while dating you? Some people can. If you can't, that's valid. Don't compromise your needs for his comfort.
Match his investment. If you're one of many, he should be one of many. Don't give exclusive energy to someone who gives you shared attention.
Walk away if needed. If he likes you but won't commit, that's a complete sentence. Someone who truly wants you will make it clear. You shouldn't have to compete for first place.
The cards are clear: being one of many is a choice he's making. You can't control his behavior—but you can control whether you accept it. Ask yourself: Is this how I want to feel in a relationship?
The Bottom Line
He likes you—but is he choosing you? There's a difference. Liking is easy. Committing takes courage. If he's not willing to close the door on other options, he's not ready to open the door to a real relationship with you.
You deserve to be chosen, not collected. Don't settle for being someone's option when you could be someone's priority.
