You text him “What R U Doing?” and you actually just mean “What are you doing?” 04 You Make it An Early Night They text you before 8pm. 05 You Keep the Party Going They spend the night, you both sleep in and get brunch the next day. 06 They’re Checking On You They ask how your presentation/test/interview/trial went. 07 You Know Their Business You know anything at all about what happened in their life between hookups. 08 More than Texts They call you. On the phone. 09 You’re “Sharing” You post a link to their Facebook wall. 10 He’s Sharing With You They loaned you a book. (You don’t loan a booty call a book.) 11 You’re Not Camera Shy You allow yourself to be photographed with them. 12 You’re Seeing Clearly The two of you are hanging out. Sober. Not hungover. 13 They Want to Have Fun With You They invite you out to the bar with their friends before they’re ready to leave. 14 You’re Getting Personal They know your middle name. 15 You’re Puckering Up You kiss as a greeting (not just as a pathway to sex or out of obligation in the morning). 16 You Know Their History You’ve, of course, never met their parents… but you do know what they do for a living. 17 You’re Skipping the Silly Stuff They text you “Thinking of you,” and there’s not a dirty picture attached. 18 You’re Making Friends with Theirs You “have a relationship” with their pets(s). 19 You’re Not Hiding Anything They post something to your Facebook wall and you don’t fly into a panic and delete it immediately before anyone sees. 20 You’ve Marked Your Territory You don’t have a drawer or anything, but you’ve left some article of clothing at their house and you kind of like that it’s there.
