Q&A for How to Deal With Mixed Signals

Try telling him straight away that he's giving mixed signals and see how he reacts. If he's able to have a mature conversation and explain what's happening, then that's a positive result. If he tiptoes around the conversation and don't try to explain the mixed signals, he may be confused, but he may also be playing with you.

Well, if you've been dating for a while and you're not certain about his feelings for you, the best thing you can do is to have a conversation about it. You don't need to ask him if you're "exclusive" or something like that, but try to get him on the same page as you.

It could mean many things. Most likely, they are simply busy. It's also possible that they have noticed your feelings and are feeling uncomfortable, or that they do not wish to talk to you. Try not to take it too personally; sometimes the best thing to do is ask them how they feel.

Because you haven't said whether you like the person or not, they may feel rejected, which they're reflecting back on you. To make the situation better, you're going to need to decide whether you want to be with them and then give the person an answer.

Your crush may be hinting that he knows it is you but is too shy to admit it.

If she has any friends who dislike you, they might've blocked you from her social media accounts (just to prevent the relationship from going any further). Depending on what type of person she is, you can always ask her if she likes you, or just say something like, "why'd you block me on whatsapp?" That's really the only way to know.

It can be! But you have to be sure that he likes you back before pursuing him more actively. Try talking to him casually and notice his behavior - is he nervous? Is he making eye contact or smiling? If yes, then that's a sign that he likes you and might be worth pursuing,

Be patient with her, give her some time and ask her if she is still interested. Maybe you misunderstood the situation. Be honest and clear with her.

He may just be shy. Don't take it the wrong way he just needs to get used to you. If he isn't shy, he isn't interested though, so don't carry on like this for a long time.

Talk to him. You don't necessarily have to tell him you have a crush on him, or ask him directly if he likes you, though in this case that might be your best option. Try flirting with him and see how he reacts. Read his facial expression and body language. You could also try asking his friends what he thinks of you, they probably know.

When people are with their friends, they sometimes do crazy things simply trying to fit in. You can try to get as much alone time with this person as you can, and if she continues being nice to you when she's alone, she might be nice to you around her friends, too, in time.

Give him the benefit of the doubt. If he has previously shown signs that he likes you, he could really be busy. Schedule another date and see what happens. If he cancels again or does not show up, then he's probably not interested in you, and you're reading too much into his actions.

He could simply be busy, or he may not be that interested. Try seeing if he wants to go out with you. If he doesn't seem to want to, consider moving on.

The question you need to ask yourself is why do you feel the need to pretend like you don't like him? How do you expect he will respond if you act like you don't like him?

Just ask her (when her friends aren't around) if she'd like to go get coffee or go to a movie or something. It's unlikely she'll invite her friends along if you ask her to do something that is a pretty standard "date" activity. If she does, she's almost certainly not interested in you romantically.

Just sit her down and ask her what is wrong. Ask her if she likes you or not. If you do not like her make sure to let her down easily, make sure to mention you do not want this to affect your friendship.

He might be attracted to you, but be careful; if he pursues you before breaking up with his current girl, he's not a good guy.

Well, first you have to decide if you like him or not. If you do, then you can confront him about it.

Sometimes flirting can be confused with friendliness. If you guys are already friends, you could be reading friendliness as flirtiness. If she's also queer, then she could definitely be flirting with you. If not, you're most likely reading her wrong. The best thing to do is ask.

Ask him about the flirtation. Ask what he means by it and if he gets weird about it, just say that someone asked if he likes you.

Tell him that you can't be friends with him anymore, and that you don't want him sending you anymore pictures. If he continues to do it anyway, block his number. I know it seems harsh, but this is the only way you'll be able to give yourself the space to get over this. He's trying to lead you on because he likes the attention he gets from you. Don't put up with it.

It is possible that your crush doesn't have the same feelings as you do, but still wants to maintain your friendship. He might not want to not hurt your feelings. He might also like you back and be too shy to tell you how he feels. For now, just work on being good friends, and see how things develop.

If he really liked you he would want to keep you in his life. Ask him about it and tell him how you are feeling. If most of your friends are telling you that then they might be right. If he flirts with other girls then maybe he isn't ready to date and it might be best to let it go or just be friends.

Your wife might be trying to act civil towards you even though she doesn't want to be with you anymore; this will hopefully lead to a more amicable separation. You can ask her directly about her mixed signals if you want clarification though.

She might be having a bad day. Don't push her to accept your help, just let her know you're available. Maybe try making a joke or humorous comment to cheer her up.

No. Mixed signals generally refers to when a person acts one way some of the time, and then entirely differently at other times, i.e. a person who treats you like you're dating one minute, and then ignores you the next. It sounds like you have trouble picking up on social cues, which is a different issue entirely. Check out How to Read People .

Perhaps she's feeling skeptical, or even nervous. If it's her first time, then she's most likely thinking that she'll affect you badly in some way. Try to talk to her about it, asking her to be honest. If she says nothing, try to investigate. See what's making her feel different around you, but don't act different, too.

He is a player and he thinks that he has to give every girl he goes out with equal treatment because in his mind, all of you are his and he isn't about to commit himself to any single one of you.

Maybe he changed his mind, maybe he was being influenced by alcohol, and maybe he's just a player.

Probably. A great way to find out is to ask her on a date, or at least tell her that you have feelings for her and would like to ask if she's interested. Then you'll know! Just communicate!
