how do you know when someone's just being polite or if they really mean what they're saying?
i did some graphic design "work"* for my kinda-bf, and during that he said a couple times that he would compensate me for it and i was like "haha yeah" cuz i didn't know if he would actually do it. so now it's been about a week and a half since i finished that stuff and he has just asked for my bank account number to send me payment. but the issue is i don't know if he's just asking to be polite, and i'm supposed to be polite back and refuse it? cuz he does this sometimes, and he gets cross with me if i don't realize that he was just being polite and i do the wrong thing.Ā
how would i figure out if he's being sincere or not rn? i don't want to annoy him. :/// & how can you get better at this in general?
(*Ā i'm not a graphic designer btw, i don't have any training in that so the "work" was just me doing stuff in photoshop as an amateur u know)Ā
