He talked about ‘our future’ before he knew your last name? There’s a name for it now. It’s called — future faking.
It’s when someone makes premature promises about a shared future — vacations, moving in, “our kids,” the wedding — before the foundation exists. Before they’ve earned the trust those promises require. Before they actually know you.
It works because hope is a powerful drug. Hearing a future described in detail by someone you’re falling for releases the same chemistry as living it. By the time you realize the future was a story they were telling — not a plan they were building — you’ve already invested time, money, energy, and parts of yourself that don’t come back easily.
Future faking is not always malicious. Sometimes it’s a person who genuinely wants to want you and is rehearsing the version of themselves who could. Sometimes it’s manipulation. Either way, the damage to you is the same.
The fix isn’t suspicion. It’s verification.
Watch what someone does this week, not what they promise about next year. The future they’re describing should be smaller than the present they’re showing up to. If the words are bigger than the actions, the math isn’t mathing.
Verification before trust. Link’s in the bio!
