Sometimes we just want to be your friend.

This topic is entirely subject to a specific situation. Yes, women are complicated, we change our minds a lot. So I advise you to read this list with caution because a lot of these are situational and could go either way.

Here are 11 things we wished guys didn't take as a mixed signal:

1. Liking a picture on social media.

Sometimes we just think the picture is cool and want to give it a like. It doesn't mean you should "slide into my DMs"

2. Wanting to hangout.

This does not mean we are on a date.

3. Hugging.

This is what friends do, try not to overthink it.

4. Asking for their number.

Again, this doesn't mean we are hitting on you.

5. Wanting to study.

Yes, this is a good way to get to know each other and break the ice, but sometimes it really is just to have a study partner. So, try to figure out their intentions before jumping to conclusions.

6. The wink emoji.

I admit it's a little suggestive. But also don't freak out if you are sent a winking emoji. It's just an emoji!

7. Instantly responding to a text.


It is just nice to do this. I know for me, either I respond right away or it takes me a week to text someone back. Friend or someone I am interested in. There is no in between.

8. Opening up to him about your feelings.

This doesn't always mean you've interested him as anything more than a friend.

9. Asking for dating advice.

This is normally a big hint that we are interested in someone else. At least in my experience.

10. Texting late at night.

Maybe it's just a good conversation and she considers you a close friend. The deep conversations usually happen late at night.

11. Giving him a present.

She might just find something that reminds her of you, try not to misinterpret something that she isn't intending. If there are any doubts though, it is always nice to have an honest conversation about your feelings.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
