We all know a guy who was really into a woman when she suddenly threw him for a loop. He thought everything was perfect until her mixed signals set him back. Today we\u2019re breaking down why women give mixed signals and what you can do about them.<\/p>\n
There are tons of different mixed signals a guy might get from a woman. You\u2019ll read all about them below, as well as learn why these signals are given off in the first place. Finally, you\u2019ll learn how to respond to these signals in a way that keeps you smart, stable, and sane.<\/p>\n Mixed signals are a series of inconsistent messages. Their most popular place of residence is within new or forming relationships.<\/p>\n Mixed signals are often seen a few weeks or months into dating someone new, whether you\u2019re dating exclusively or not. These inconsistent messages creep onto the scene and soon take over. The comfort and excitement you felt when you first met the girl are suddenly transformed into anxiety, confusion, and even panic. What happened?<\/p>\n We\u2019ll get into the why soon, but first, let\u2019s break down what kinds of mixed signals are out there.<\/p>\n The #1 mixed signal across the board and the world is being hot and cold. One day this girl seems to be totally into you. You\u2019re flirting, she can\u2019t get enough, she\u2019s even calling you out of the blue because she misses you. Then \u2013 BAM \u2013 radio silence. She\u2019s gone hot and cold.<\/p>\n This mixed signal is cyclical. Her conversation wanes and she barely acknowledges your attempts to rekindle things; maybe she even ignores your texts altogether. Then you happen to see her at a social event or bump into her on the street. She seems overly excited to see you, ecstatic even. BAM \u2013 back to hot.<\/p>\n Hot and cold changes include:<\/p>\n The initial disappear mixed signal is known as ghosting<\/a>. Things seem fine, you and this girl are vibing, and you\u2019re talking often. Suddenly she goes MIA. Not light MIA either; she straight-up disappears on you with no word or warning.<\/p>\n You\u2019re a confident guy, and you want to shoot your shot with this girl. So, you try and try until your pride is on the line so you finally give up, telling yourself you aren\u2019t going to reach out anymore. Ironically, lo and behold, your phone dings; speak of the devil. Cue the reappear.<\/p>\n The disappear and reappear mixed signal could go on eternally. Plenty of us have seen it happen for years between two people who continuously hook up just to lose touch and then come back together again weeks or months later.<\/p>\n The only sign of the disappear and reappear is in the name.<\/p>\n Another mixed signal is the woman who always goes against her word. One day she tells you she loves you, but the next day she says it was a mistake. Or, contrarily, she\u2019s screaming her head off that you\u2019re the worst, but the next day she makes puppy eyes at you and says she wasn\u2019t serious.<\/p>\n Taking words back is a dangerous game because it leaves your head spinning and doubting everything you\u2019ve heard. If we can\u2019t trust what people say, how are we to trust people? This mixed signal is enough to make anyone\u2019s mind a rollercoaster.<\/p>\n Another type of mixed signal, mixed personality<\/a> we often see is the difference between a woman behind a screen and in person.<\/p>\n This girl takes it a step further by insinuating your wildest dreams from behind her typing fingers only to leave you looking like a fool when you do end up meeting in person. She may suddenly seem shy or maybe not interested at all.<\/p>\n If you do bring up those conversations, she\u2019s likely to act surprised or to tell you that you misinterpreted what she meant. Either way, you\u2019ll end up feeling catfished<\/a>.<\/p>\n Top on-screen\/off-screen actions:<\/p>\n As adults, we are responsible for our own actions. Even so, there are tons of factors that steer our decisions, and some are less controllable than others. There are many reasons why a woman may give mixed signals.<\/p>\n Some reasons include:<\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n
