Those Aren't Mixed Signals, You're Just In Denial

If he/she is sending you mixed signals, that is a message in itself.

Those Aren't Mixed Signals, You're Just In Denial
Twenty Something Living

Let me guess. You met someone whom you share an immediate connection with. You're fixated with the idea that he/she could be interested, but they haven't made their move yet. You're not sure if you're wasting your time since there's reason to believe they are into you, but they won't act on it.

If he/she is sending you mixed signals, that is a message in itself.

You shouldn't be clouded with confusion. What he says, how he says it; those are signals that should not be deciphered. Trying to "understand" what he/she meant by asking friends, or looking online, will land you to the same answer. You'll constantly latch onto the parts you desire to happen and disregard the truth.

Not to be blunt, but he/she is just not that into you.

Let's say a guy meets a girl he finds cool and attractive. He decides to pursue her. He enjoys hanging out with her, but he may string her along as he moves on to other conquests. Or maybe he's just nervous and is unsure of how you feel, so he backs off until you show interest. He's open to exploring and seeing how things go, but she is not his top priority. He's into her, but not the "I need her now" feeling. Now, this is where girls fall into trouble. They either waste their time analyzing the guys behavior and contemplate how he feels about them, or they drive themselves to insanity as to what they did wrong and how they always screw it up.

Now, aren't you sick of the constant hot and coldness? Where you're sure they are interested by either what they say to you, or to someone else, and yet there's no progress? They say they want to spend more time with you, yet when the time comes, they do a 360 on you and turn the other way. It's the standard he said one thing, but did another. Now he/she has your mind circling around the idea that they may be into you, but their actions say otherwise.

So, where do you go from here?

I'll tell you what to do. Wake up and realize you're worth so much more than what he/she is handing to you. If he was iffy from the start, there wasn't anything there to begin with. His ambivalence is unfair to you, and you should never settle for a string along. Just because they're unsure of their feelings does not mean they can play you until they have it figured out. You deserve the world, and if he doesn't see that, than you have your answer.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
