Understanding the Red Flags of Engagement Hints Without Follow-Through
The Situation
"He keeps hinting at engagement photos with no follow through"
The Brutal Truth
He's playing with your hopes and feelings. By hinting at engagement photos but not pursuing them, he's keeping you in a state of uncertainty and emotional dependence without any real commitment. It's a manipulation tactic to maintain interest while avoiding responsibility.
