Should you stop dating someone who's giving you mixed signals?

Well let me turn this question around on you sir: why would you stay with someone that you're not sure if they care about you or not?

My logic is this: if they like you, they won't send you mixed signals or make you question the relationship.
So, yeah, I'd sit them down and tell him how I feel. But ultimately if there's that doubt of their interest? Probably so... because if you don't, it's probably going to end anyway; you'd just be prolonging the inevitable.

[coachTanthony]

True... mixed signals can simply be a miscommunication... or they can be an excuse to hold you at arm's length because they don’t want to commit. Either way I think mixed signals are negative... I don't see anything positive about them.

People aren't perfect at expressing what they mean or need in dating and relationships. Communicating your disinterest with their mixed signals are important especially if their actions speak a different story and show interest. Self awareness and communication is key to any good relationship... romantic or otherwise. Good comment.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Depends on how long we been dating and what kind of mixed signals..

[coachTanthony]

Well I think mixed signals are negative signals in disguise of some type of flaky interest... many like to question them instead of just admitting "hey I don't like this behavior so why bother trying to define it"

[RJJ33666]

Well, getting mixed feelings is pretty common in most relationships. But you shouldn't just stop dating someone because of mixed signals. It is possible that your partner is just shy or is not used to opening up feelings. The best way is to try and talk to them about this issue. I know it gets awkward at times but its necessary. You can always try "I feel this way_____ when you _______" Statements, it will help a lot.

[Citizenkirk]

Honestly is a non-negotiable relationship criteria for me, and I won't budge from it. You need to decide for yourself what your ability to respect yourself will allow you to put up with.

[Avicenna]

No, Id communicate with her about the mixed signals

[coachTanthony]

Mixed signals are usaally a sign of disinterest.. so what would you say and hope to acomplish.. just curious?

[Avicenna]

I'd be hoping to clarify where she stood- maybe she has concerns or misconceptions she was too afraid to verbalize.

[coachTanthony]

Alright fair enough

[PaynefulPleasures]

First I would ask where are we going continue dating, take it to the next level , but if nothing become of the conversation & things still remained all over the grid then yes. I don't like games, or drama ✌️

[NotTacocaT6969]

Eh, I gave up hope on someone I loved who gave me mixed signals, but we never dated.


It’s not good to have your hopes constantly raised and dropped.

[Jjpayne]

I think it would be for the best. You need to have a clear signal to know how to move forward rather than wait around for a relationship that may not be

[NorthShoreCalling]

Not always. Mixed signals can be misunderstandings often. They can also be common in the beginning when you’re both /or one of you is unsure and still need some time to figure it out.

[Alyssa11]

Yeah... if someone is giving you mixed signals they’re not 100% in it. And for a relationship to work both individuals have to give in their all.

[sensible27]

Their all?

[BillHe1]

No, but just be ready and open for anything that might happen or be said. And mixed signals about what exactly... companionship, sexual feelings, you/him, previous sexual Hook up/or missed chance?

[Splatzonelover1]

I dislike mixed signal since I'd they not sure about me then I will move on. Has a bad experience old men that was did started sentinf me mixed signals to even knew he was one that rejected me and I did move on from him. by the way he was age 30.

[SnuffleMuffins]

I don't like mixed signals. If a woman is into me, but doesn't want to commit then I'd rather her tell me that instead of sending me mixed signals.

[lilyanony1]

I did because in the end the mixed signals felt very clear.
I would rather be alone than have a headache

[Shellyworld]

If you get a headache from it then yes stop dating.

[coachTanthony]

headache , anxiety, etc... very true

[etexbearkat]

If a woman was giving me mixed signals, I would ask her want she wanted from the relationship, whether it be a friendship or a romantic relationship.

[alexander3244]

Make a warning first, then if she continues playing with me, I'll leave her. I need a woman who's serious about me, wise, smart, and pretty enough and not a wallflower in bed.

[HawkPerception]

Absolutely. No game playing. Either they show clear interest or I abort that operation.

[TheorionMage]

Clearly there's a THIRD 'element' intermittently acting upon your relationship... RESOLVE it or leave.

[melanieeeB]

You should always focus on yourself and your own fucking business. If someone is giving mixed signals, just reduce the contact, give a shit about them and keep doing you

[Browneye57]

As I like to say, "Get on board or get the fuck out. YOUR choice - I'm good with either."

[Massageman]

Yes.
If they cared about you, they'd straighten out those signals already.

[AdithyaR]

Yep, I don't wanna keep wondering and doubting her affections for me.

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

I feel like mixed signals are signs of someone that will lead me on. Definite red flag and basis to distance myself.
