[PASTE THE MESSAGE]
Context:
- My relationship with this person: [e.g. guy I've been talking to for 2 weeks / situationship / ex]
- What we were discussing before this: [BRIEF CONTEXT]
Tell me:
1. **What they're actually saying** — the real meaning behind the words
2. **The tone** — are they interested, pulling back, testing me, being passive aggressive?
3. **What they want from you** — a response, space, reassurance?
4. **Three possible replies** — from low-effort to high-effort, ranked by what's likely to move things forward
5. **What NOT to do** — the response that would backfire
6. **Red flags or green flags** in this message I should notice
Be honest, not just kind.
