A love story ghostwritten by a liar with a good imagination.
They said, "Next summer in Paris," while forgetting to text you back this Tuesday.
Welcome to future faking — where the promises are grand, the timeline is vague, and the commitment is pure fiction.
It's not love. It’s a well-dressed illusion.
🌒 What Is Future Faking?
Future faking is when someone talks about future plans — vacations, moving in together, marriage, soul connections — to create emotional security and intimacy they have no intention of fulfilling.
It’s the rom-com script they read to keep you in the theatre… until the credits roll and they’re gone.
🎭 Why Do People Future Fake?
Oh, they know exactly what they’re doing. It’s the oldest con in the emotional casino.
Here’s why they play the game:
-
To gain quick emotional access (without real effort)
-
To bypass your boundaries ("We're soulmates, so why wait?")
-
To avoid accountability ("I was serious... back then.")
-
To keep you hooked with hope — hope is harder to walk away from than heartbreak
🧠 The Psychology Behind It
Humans crave certainty and belonging. Future faking hijacks that need — offering you potential, not partnership. It lights up your imagination, your serotonin, and your trust… all while buying them time.
It’s not about the future. It’s about control in the present.
🕯️ Signs You’re Being Future Faked
-
Big promises, vague timelines.
-
They speak in “we” but act in “me.”
-
Plans get talked about more than acted on.
-
Their actions don’t match their poetic monologues.
-
You feel like you’re always “almost there” — but never actually moving forward.
You’re not building a life together. You’re stuck in a fantasy trailer on loop.
💅 What to Do
-
Stop listening. Start watching. Real love doesn’t need a script.
-
Don’t fill in the blanks for them. If it’s unclear, that’s the answer.
-
Set a timeline — then vanish with grace. Waiting is not romantic. It’s exhausting.
-
Trust your gut. If you feel like you’re being sold a dream… you probably are.
-
Ask yourself this: “Would I buy this pitch from a stranger?” If not — don’t buy it from someone who calls you babe.
🖤 The Bottom Line?
Future faking isn’t a love language. It’s an escape route.
So when the promises get poetic and the effort stays minimal — walk away in slow motion.
Because some people only build castles in the air… to keep you from noticing they live in chaos on the ground.
Sick of castles made of compliments and zero commitment?

📌 Save this for the next time someone says “someday.” You’re not waiting. You’re evolving.
