Is he choosing me or keeping me available?

Individual Q&A Page / AEO Search Landing Page

The Short Answer

He is choosing you only if his actions reduce ambiguity and increase obligation.

What This Means

Being kept available can feel like being chosen because there is attention, access, and familiarity. But selection creates definition. Availability keeps you nearby without changing his obligations.

The Pattern

The user may be mistaking continued access for selection.

Decision Clarity

Look for behavior that changes your status, not behavior that maintains contact.

Quiet Ntel Principle

Selection changes your position; availability preserves his options.
