This happens when someone paints a <em>muito <\/em>detailed and <em>muito <\/em>romantic picture of a future with you. Think marriage, vacations, pets and holiday traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These fantasies are all so very cozy and romantic, but this person has no real intention of making any of those things happen. And the tricky part? At the beginning it doesn&rsquo;t even feel toxic, it&rsquo;s cute and flattering, magical even. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, who wouldn&rsquo;t melt at someone saying &rdquo;When we&rsquo;re living together&hellip;&rdquo; on date three? The problem is that future faking isn&rsquo;t about building a future, it&rsquo;s about securing attention, affection and control in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s take a look at how to tell if you&rsquo;re being swept into a fantasy instead of a relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

If someone has been talking about a future with you for months, you should at least see <em>some <\/em>progress. They would start introducing you to friends, you&rsquo;d have clearer labels, plans would align and they&rsquo;d be more emotionally invested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Future fakers stay stuck in the &rdquo;someday&rdquo; stage indefinitely. And they always have a reason: bad timing, stress at work, unresolved past issues, family problems and the list goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While life sometimes really does get messy, a pattern of perpetual delay is a choice. A person who truly sees a future with you will slowly, but surely, build it. If nothing ever changes, the future they&rsquo;re selling may not exist at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
