Is he attracted to me?

Drawn: Three of Swords reversed (past), Three of Pentacles upright (present), Nine of Cups reversed (future). No major arcros — this is a small, practical question, not a fate-level one.

The reading. What the spread describes isn't a hidden crush so much as a contact that has been left half-finished. The past card — Six of Swords reversed — is the awkward part: something between you got interrupted or walked away before it finished, and it was never cleanly picked back up. The present — Three of Pentacles upright — is the most concrete thing in the spread: shared work, a project, an actual reason to be in the same room, competence recognised, ease. That's the channel this is moving through, and it isn't a romantic one yet.

The future card, Nine of Cups reversed, is a wish that isn't landing: someone in this is imagining a good outcome more than experiencing it. Given the cards, that reads as yours first. Cards don't report what is happening in his head; they show the shape of the situation and what you're putting into it.

So, conditionally. If, in the past week or so, he has made time that wasn't required of him — started a conversation that didn't need to start, remembered a small thing you said, referred to a next time — then the attraction is there in behaviour, whatever the label is. If what you have is that he is consistently pleasant, useful and available, and never once goes past that, then the cards are pointing at comfortable association, not a hidden feeling.

One step, in the next 48 hours. Write down three things he actually did or said recently that were not his job to do or say. Not what you felt reading into them — the events themselves, with when they happened. That list is the only evidence that exists; the cards cannot supply it, and neither can a conversation arranged to test him.
