He talks about the future but nothing happens

What it usually means

Some people describe futures they genuinely feel in the moment and have no intention of building. It isn't always a lie — often it's someone enjoying the feeling of a plan without the cost of one. Either way, a future you keep hearing about and never see is a story, not a commitment.

What it doesn't mean

You are not ungrateful or paranoid for wanting the thing rather than the description of the thing.

The one tell

Count how many of the futures he's described have produced one concrete action. Not a date — an action.

What you could send

“i love that you think about that. can we actually put something in the diary?”

“great pitch. when does production start”

“you talk about this a lot and nothing changes. i need to see something happen.”
