How do you define mixed signals

30 April, 2022



Mixed Signals

-Mixed signals are when a person is expressing interest in someone while simultaneously expressing a lack of interest which causes confusion to the other person.

The story goes, it was in my early teenage years when i made a shocking discovery that girls enjoy playing hard to get.

It happened that i fell for a girl at school. She too seemed to be interested too because we would always hang out after school and go home together, sometimes she would bring me lunch to school and i would do the same, but whenever i asked her to be my girlfriend she would tell me that she sees me as her older brother.
Has anyone given you any mixed Signals?, how did you deal with that?

  2. I never got mixed emotions from anyone, or maybe i did but the fact that i hardly propose makes it hard to say.... Lets say someone gives me that and rejects my proposal, i'd simply distance myself from them, they are toxic😂

  4. Oh yeah! I have been in instances like that a couple of times. There was a guy I liked, he knew, because I always make it clear. He told me he liked me too but wouldn't date because he "fears" Heartbreak. My! 🤦🏻‍♀️ This was frustrating as we got along so well.
    Another one, you'd swear we're dating, up to this day we are so in love as it looks but when I talk of a relationship, he's not ready. It's been 2 years. I think it's always best to make your intentions clear and what you want.

    2. He tells me he loves me almost all the time, long calls, funny and stupid videos, sharing the laughter!! And yes, he's not my boyfriend.. I love him wholeheartedly and though I know it may amount to nothing, I vowed to give it my all since it makes ME happy. If it ends, I won't regret, I gave it everything I could..

  10. Its very hurting when you know that you cabca be with the very same person make you laugh, never lets you down. It hurts in the in because that person doesn't love you and still loves that much that losing you will hurt them.

  15. No one has given me mixed signals but I think changing the way you talk and treat her will give her a clear picture of what your intentions are with her and it will be up to her to show if she has the same intentions or not and if not, don't waste your time telling her how you feel because it will damage what ever relationship you guys have build

  16. I've not experience such ,bhut I have a friend of mine who played hard to get to the current person she is with now.. she would turn the guy off and come trll me that she is playing hard to get,but in the other hand she got mutual feeling towards the guy😹😹🙌🏽

    ReplyDelete
  17. 😅😅I also can play hard to get,yet I know that I want you,,,I think sometimes as a girl you feel you don't want to *Spoil* things yeah!so rather keep it simple and stay as my older brother 🙈

  18. Its not about being chased, guys put less efford and expect girls to go with with the flow

  19. Mixed signals are the worst😭I'm lucky I always manage to pull back as soon as I feel the uncertainty. It hurts but it's always better than the on-again off-again game. I love knowing they're sure about me and as soon as I sense they aren't, I walk away.

  20. Yes😂😂 whe you've been dating a guy for a little while and things seem yo be going well, the inevitable "what are we" chat starts weighing in your mind.

    You're trying to decide when to bring it up, but at the same time, wondering why he hasn't already.

    It's then that you start overthinking
    It's even worse if when you bring up "what are we" conversation you get a less than enthusiastic answer.

    If he tells you he doesn't want to put a label on it, you start to think you have read the signals all wrong🤦‍♀️

  21. first met this guy on Facebook a few months ago and we talked for approximately 6 weeks before meeting (he was away at college during this time so we couldn't meet earlier). We met, and we clicked, but I wasn't very attracted to him, it was the kind of thing where I thought I could look past it and be indifferent to it, and when he kissed me at the end of the date I was honestly pretty into him.

    A few days after our first date, he was away again the entire next month doing an internship. We video called almost everyday and we really got to know each other, to the point where he was talking about us being in a relationship. Over the calls I was really into him, and when he got home after his month-long time away we saw each other again for our second date. Problem was, I was really NOT attracted to him this time and when he started making out with me at the end of it I tried to make myself like it but I was actually completely repulsed by it. I wanted to like it but I just couldn't... him and I click awesomely but I just have no interest in him like that. It's not that he's ugly, he's really not at all, I was just so not attracted to him after our second date (I don't know why my attraction to him changed so much over the last month but yeah).

    Anyway, I've been away for the last 2 weeks on vacation so him and I have been talking on the phone. He seems to be really into me and keeps talking about how he wants me to be his girlfriend, and I keep trying to trick myself into liking him but I just can't seem to do it and I feel awful about it. I especially feel awful because he has confined in me a bunch of stuff he has never talked about with anyone else before and thinks he can trust me and believes I feel the same way about him that he feels about me (this is because of that month-long time when we video called everyday when I was indifferent to my lack of attraction to him and thought I could get past it). He is truly a really sweet guy, the kind of guy I could see myself being close friends with for a very long time, but I just don't want anything physical with him and I especially don't want a relationship. I don't know how to break the news to him considering he's thought I've been into him for 4+ months now when I'm just not. I don't know how to tell him that I want to just be friends especially when he is going through some really hard times with his family and school and is really into me. I don't want to hurt him and I don't want him to hate me.. I feel awful about all of this and I wish I just liked him but I don't and I can't. Don't know what to do.. obviously I can't keep leading him on but I don't know how to get out of this situation and still make him happy because I care about him a lot but not in the way he wants.

  22. I'm that playing hard to get type of a girl because I'm struggling with trust issues, but believe me that shit makes me suffer because I always lose good guys, guys I love only because I wanted him to show some effort and he just gave up.

  23. ladies love being in a friend zone because we know that when things turn into a relationship a lot is going to change that might turn friends into strangers

    ReplyDelete
  24. It's not all about playing hard to get sometimes it is because of the label "easy target" that makes us play hard to get. There are times where we feel like damn i love this guy but then you come back to your senses i think to avoid having mixed signals you as boys should stop labeling us so as to make things more easier for both of us

  25. This reminds of a friend I had back in high school😂 Okay I thought we were friends little did I know they guy loved me😂 we would hang out have lunch together. In short we did what lovers do😂.
    Mixed signals are not okay in fact they are bad. But well I think I was the cause, I think I gave him wrong impressions which made him end up having feels for me. I had to to turn him down when he asked me to be his girlfriend😭. Our bond was very strong so I didn't want that to change. But we all know how relationships are or even end😂. Why ruin things by dating?
    Mixed signals are red flags😂

  26. Yah I have experienced that, someone I have known so for so long since I was young acted as a brother until he tells me how he loves me...I didn't see him as a person I could date but I tried to give it a chance but it didn't work out so good because he cheated and had a baby with that chic so there was no space for me anymore yet he acted like there is....so I decided to cut him off because luckily we haven't invested in our relationship so there was nothing to lose or regret

  27. What I've realized is we have been hurt in relationships to an extent that we become blind even when we meet people who really love us

  30. Soo this guy approached me and asked me about a job post that he saw online. I helped him then we exchanged numbers for further assistance because I was in hurry😊. He then offered lunch as to say thank you😍, after that conversation start getting romantic💅, I thought like it's because now he is starting to like me, until one day😢, we planned to get some drinks at a far away place, then he told me that he invited his girlfriend to be with us, I died at a very same second 😭

  33. You guys confuse being kind with flirting and a No for mixed signals or playing hard to get.
