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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
