Don’t Date Someone Who Sends Mixed Signals
Don’t date someone who has trouble with the truth. Someone who is afraid to be honest about their feelings – or worse, someone who wants to keep you in the dark about their feelings in order to string you along and get what they want from you. Don’t waste your time with someone who doesn’t respect you enough to be honest with you, to sit you down and explain their expectations. You deserve transparency. You deserve truthfulness. You deserve trust.
If this person is unable to do the bare minimum and admit how they feel about you and whether they intend to get into a relationship with you, then you don’t need them. You don’t need late nights questioning where they stand. You don’t need self-doubt about your looks, your personality, your worth. You don’t need the extra stress of trying to decipher what their mixed signals mean.
Why waste your time on someone who won’t give you a single straight answer when you could hold out for someone who tells you exactly what you want to know the first time you ask? You should be with someone you’re comfortable talking to about awkward topics. Someone you’re not afraid to ask about their intentions because you know they’re going to be upfront with you.
Don’t date someone who sends mixed signals because you are never going to know where they stand. You are never going to feel comfortable because you’ll always be wondering whether they’re going to leave soon, whether they’re going to get bored and slip out the door when you aren’t looking. If they aren’t honest with you now, what makes you think that they’re going to be honest with you once you start dating them? What makes you think that they are going to change? The right person will make it clear how they feel about you. They will make it clear what they want from you and what they are willing to give you. They won’t make you jump through hoops to figure out what’s on their mind. They won’t hide their most intimate thoughts.
Don’t date someone who sends mixed signals because you are too old to play games. You shouldn’t have to deal with uncertainties in a serious relationship. You shouldn’t have to guess what is on their mind. A mature, responsible adult will be honest with you. They will let you know where they stand, so you can see whether or not you’re on the same page, so you can see whether or not they’re worth your time.
Don’t date someone who sends mixed signals because you deserve so much better than an empty heart. You deserve someone who is vulnerable with you. Someone who expresses their emotions in front of you. Someone who doesn’t try to shy away from the hard conversations. After all, relationships are about showing each other every single side of yourselves. If they’re holding back from you, then you’re never going to meet the real them. There’s always going to be distance between you. You’re never going to get as close as a serious couple should.
Don’t date someone who sends mixed signals because the right person won’t be embarrassed about how loudly they love you. They will tell the world about their feelings for you. They will make sure everyone knows, most important of all, you.
