What do mixed signals mean when a girl is giving them?

[Yeahhbro]

There is this girl giving me a lot of mixed signals, but I have no idea what to do, its pretty confusing and frustrating to be honest. What can this mean?

If you don't know what mixed signals mean, it means when a girl is hot and cold. Like some day she will be flirty and friendly, another day she will be cold or not very into talking to me.

Elaborate on these mixed signals. You can add them in with updates.

But from my experiences, most girls who give me mixed signals have ended up just being moodswingers.

One day, she's giving me signals that she likes me. Acting nice, playful, and happy speaking to me. I take it that she's in a good mood and it just got better because this attractive guy (myself) is giving her some attention.

Next day, she's cold and distant. Ignoring me. Hmm ... why? Oh, because she's having a bad day. In a foul mood, and therefore, acting shy, distant, and perhaps on the verge of blowing her volcano head to bits.

I'm sure you've done the same to girls without knowing it. You were happy one day and you talked to your friends, or said 'hi' to girls in passing. But another day, it was horrible. You felt like complete sh*t and you didn't want to talk. You just wanted things to get better. So every girl on that bad day, who wanted to get your attention, became intimidated since you put up that 'don't talk to me' shield.

So what can you do about this?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. Stay optimistic and take the opportunity when you feel it.

I have a similar problem! She knows how i feel, tells me she's into me too but scared she can't give me what i'm looking for. So, i did what any logical person would do - I said ok, thanks for being honest, I'll back off a bit... she replies cool, can i come over tonight. The night involved many conversations about are we friends or more than and you know what, sometimes girls just can't decide just like guys often can't. Just be patient. Make your intentions clear and then leave it be for a bit. As she digests your feelings over the coming days/months or even years, she'll either want you or she won't and that just means you'll find the right person somewhere else.

[Yeahhbro]

cool thanks

To be honest, coming from a girl, mixed signals go both ways. By this I mean that if you feel you are receiving them then she is unsure also and is giving them according to mood. It could depend on many different variables, either she is going through stuff, she is really into you and isn't sure what she thinks about it yet, or likes playing hard to get. My advice is that if you are unsure about her feelings ask her what's going on, if that is too up front play a classic game of truth and dare, only no daring allowed. Rules are you ask a question, she answers, then can ask the same question to you but if she does then she has to ask a new one after. Start off with simple ones then get into it. Good Luck

I couldn't possibly answer without more detail . If you ask a "general" question you can only hope for "general" answers. If you give us more detail perhaps people will recognise some behavior and actually be able to give you a bit of insight into what is actually happening :D

[beautywithinthesoul]

Maybe she's insecure of herself. She's worried that you will reject her. Simple answer for a Simple question. :D

[Yeahhbro]

i really hope that it is as easy as you say it is.

[erikthefeen123]

How did it go she's doing this to me

[Gregs]

You need to make the signals clear. For example a favorite that girls like to do is say something like "I'd really like to hang out with you" but when you ask them out for a specific date they are always busy, and they say something like "I'd love to go to place A sometimes, but I have lots of work to do"

What you do in those situations is not take a vague answer from her, say something like "Look, is being with me something that you can take it or leave it, or is it something you are smart enough to realize you really want to do?"

That should clear up any mixed signals, she'll either come out and say I really want to be with you or let you know that she doesn't, in which case she probably didn't like you anyway, probably had you as a back up for another guy, who knows, but you are better off.

[Asailum]

could you be more specific?

Its good to think of mixed signals as a test. As in, if you get insecure and start to worry if she REALLY likes you or not, then you fail. If your confident and relaxed about it things will probably get better.

[Yeahhbro]

lol I don't want to be specific because when I do it, then people won't answer because the question would be long. I will just keet the question in general.

[Asailum]

no prob, good luck

[GrandpaSimpson]

I concur

[upskrtcelebs]

Girls are idiots, so you need to stop treating her like a human being. That being said, I highly recommend ignoring her for a little while and show interest in other chicks. You may think that will make you lose her, but au contraire my friend, it will make her want to swallow your load in no time.

[Gregs]

Could mean many things, trying to figure a woman's logical thought process out behind a question is a waste of time imo

just put her on the spot, say something like "hey, just let me know, is being with me something that you can take it or leave it or is it something that you really want to do?"

If it's something she really want's to do she should make a solid date with you

[NonchalantBro]

ive had girls be sexually attracted to me but who did not want a relationship or were unsure about my feelings towards them...they sent mixed signals like crazy...you get better at understanding these things with experience

[margieb80]

It means she's not sure she likes you. If you like her find a way to let her know you better so she makes up her mind and show her you like her without playing the psycho or stoker. If she were playing hard to get, you would know...

[willow74]

When I give "mixed signals" its usually because I like you enough to not want to hurt your feelings, but not enough to date you.

[arsenal25]

exactly

[dreadheadMJW]

Basically their isn't a chance for the guy to get you later on in the future?

[willow74]

I didn't say that...feelings change. Who knows what's going to happen in the future? A few guys that I absolutely despised, I ended up liking months or even a year later.

[imperatriz]

Maybe she's trying to play hard to get or maybe she's just enjoying the attention and keeps you interested but at the same time doesn't let it go too far by giving you mixed signals. If it's the second, fyl.

[huntusa]

Mixed signal simply means that the person is confused about you.They have some attraction for you but then they are holding it back for some reason.

[x0sweetnicole0x]

what kind of mixed signals are you talking about. because it could be that she's too worried about moving to fast for you and being to forward so she will throw something at you that may make you think she is sending mixed signals, but it is more as a way to cover up what she really is feeling

[Anonymous]

Can you tell me what she's doing. We usually mirror what you're doing to us tbh so if you think she's giving mixed signals maybe you are too. Her behavior might not even reflect on you, she might be dealing with something else.

[Yeahhbro]

i already said that I won't add details to make the question more general and easy to answer.

[Opinion Owner]

well that's all the insight I can give then :)

[GrandpaSimpson]

I agree

[DishLady]

Well, no one will be really flirty ALL the time. There's a time for that and a time for dealing with the rest of life. It depends on the circumstances.

[yagurlnira768]

Depends on the signals she is giving...and also...some girls may give mixed signals...if they are confused of something with you...idk...you need to elaborate.

[Shaun]

Call her out on the mixed signals. Who has time for games?

[HannyelSedSo]

maybe she's unaware that she is giving you these mixed signals

[lorenza]

Sometimes I give mixed signals (I don't mean to) because I start to really like a guy and I become very self-conscious of myself :S

[AmberChick]

Either she doesn't like you or is confused one or the other pick one

[Asailum]

please tell us what you mean by "mixed signals." tell us exactly what she did

[juicyjulie]

she is prob just sexually attracted to you or something --- or she is unsure how she feels bout u

[Asailum]

explain more plz

[juicyjulie]

liek she might be unsure if she likes you or if she is just attracted to you .. or maybe this is just her way to check you up kinda ..

[Anonymous]

A few options

1. you're not reading the signs right

2. she's not interested

3. she's playing hard to get

[bposs27]

From my past experience with this same issue I have noticed that this usually means they are confused on what they want, but at the same time they like the attention they get when they put out these signals.

[Sammiixx3]

Depends on the signals she is giving you. To you some may be confusing, but to her they may all mean she's interested. Or on the other hand she way be debating weither she likes you as more than a friend or not.

[flames]

just don't keep watching...go up to her and speak from your heart and she will be yours!

[Yeahhbro]

no because then I will be like coming too strong. girls stupid sh*t.

[Coop505]

Women are too friggin hard to figure out. Ask her out, if she says no, move on.

[courtniX]

You have no idea how many things this could mean.

[Yeahhbro]

then why answering?

[courtniX]

To let you know that your question is somewhat irrelevant without us knowing all of the details about the specific girl, and guy, and each of their life situations at the time. So many things play a role in things like these. There could be many reasons why a girl would give you mixed signals.

[Anonymous]

depends on what signals you are talking about
