Is he serious about me?

Serious is a behavior pattern, not a feeling. Track it.

You have probably tried every method: rereading the texts, polling the group chat, weighing how the last date felt. The problem with all of them is that they analyze moments, and seriousness does not live in moments. It lives in the pattern: what he does repeatedly, over weeks, when there is nothing special about the day.

What serious actually looks like in data

Serious has a signature: plans get made and kept, effort shows up without occasions, promises resolve as kept instead of expiring, the future gets mentioned and then acted on, and the people in his life start meeting you. In Spilled, that signature is a rising or steady score in the green zone with milestone tags accumulating.

Not serious has a signature too: contact without plans, warmth without follow-through, a score that lives in the yellow zone and never climbs. Not because any single week is damning, but because nothing compounds.

How to use Spilled to answer it

Log honestly for three or four weeks: the good, the bad, and the neutral. Then look at three things. The score and its trend, because serious climbs or holds steady in green. The tags, because serious accumulates kept promises and quality time. And the flags, because consistent effort firing is the app literally telling you the pattern is real.

If breadcrumbing or hot and cold fires instead, that is also an answer, delivered with the evidence attached.

When the answer is not what you hoped

A yellow score and a flat trend after a month of honest logging is real information. It does not always mean leave. It means the question of whether he is serious currently answers itself as not yet, and you get to decide what to do with a fact instead of a hope. People often say the clarity, either direction, is the whole value of the app.

Questions, answered

How long before I can trust the answer?

Three to four weeks of regular logging usually produces a stable picture. Less than that and one good or bad stretch can still dominate the data.

What if he is serious but bad at showing it?

Spilled measures behavior you experience, not intentions you cannot verify. If his effort genuinely does not reach you, that gap is worth seeing clearly, whatever its cause. And effort in any love language, time, help, consistency, still logs as effort.

Should I just ask him instead?

Asking is fine. But answers are words, and words are one signal. A month of logged behavior tells you whether the answer he gives matches the life he is showing you.
