A busy man's love language is whatever survives his calendar. The Sunday Signal reads ordinary time as evidence, because it is the one thing he cannot fake.

Every article ends this question with "only you can decide." Not this one. Three reads, real criteria, and the exact words for leaving cleanly if they agree.

The hours are not the problem. Becoming the planner, initiator, and manager of the whole relationship is. The ledger and the bounded offer fix the pattern.

Every dating-a-CEO article coaches the executive. This one is for the woman reading his silences. The delegation tell, the Sunday Signal, and the words.

The startup girlfriend life, described honestly by a founder: what the company takes from him, what the arrangement takes from you, and the audit for both.
