I fell in love with a guy that seemed to me a very good person, actually perfect, but he kept sending me mixed signals, it broke my heart, I was constantly very stressed and couldn’t stop crying (I normally never cry). Then I asked him to stop sending me mixed signals and he stopped - he lost any interest in me. First I thought I made a mistake, but later I realised that it was the best decision and now I’m watching this video and I feel so relieved😊 Thank you😊😊😊

Even though he is a good guy, he was also involved with other women. He was giving too many mixed signals. I may have been his favorite for a while. Like you said, he doesn't know who he wants. I ended it. It hurts. I love myself enough to know that I deserve a man who is looking to build a real connection.

Or with a kid. My ex’s mother was murdered when he was a kid. He met someone who’s mother was also murdered and he felt really seen. He left and within two months they had moved in together. Within 6 weeks they were pregnant. He abandoned his kid and didn’t contact us for months. No financial support. How do I ask for child support when the court would then give him visitation with this new girl who is not safe. (Trust me on this without the details) Do I just leave it? Do I force talking for child support? It seems like I lose either way

Interesting. This man I've been pretty much talking to for about 6 months now has not made an effort to actually date me, yet "he really likes me." I feel he is wanting me to chase him.

Don’t listen to his words. Watch his actions. And I’d say don’t even waste your energy and give him the attention he hasn’t earned. Just mirror his effort, give him minimum attention. If he really cares he will pursue you. If he doesn’t, just let it go. You lost nothing since you haven’t invested.

@@CubitaLola first off thanks for asking my advice I am flattered. I was in this kind of situation for over a year with a guy who has never lived up to his word, my most recent dating experience actually. It has been long distance but there are always absences for weeks on his part, no communication etc. Mixed signals to me means he is unsure of you and I think honestly you deserve a guy who is sure. It isn’t worth your self respect to chase a guy. I would let him go for someone (if they actually exist) that knows that you are a priority to them. I don’t know why men cannot just be straight with you from the get go, but it isn’t up to you to entertain their inconsistencies when there is someone that would treat you much better. If he doesn’t treat you right from the get go I don’t think he is someone you want to further invest your time in. I tried talking too to my guy but still the same. I would move on.

@@stefaniemcgivern4519 Thanks so much for taking the time to read and reply! Im sorry to hear you had to go through this too, definitely not worth it. It sounds so much like my situation, what makes it more sticky is we work together, however we are still working from home so things are a little easier for now. I don't understand these traits they portray, its almost like they want an ego stroke is what I suppose. You're so right, I respect myself way too much to put up with it. I haven't heard from him going on day 2 now and it doesn't even phase me anymore. I told him the other day - its easy to say you want to be with me but it takes putting it into action and putting the time in. Still have yet to hear "I want to see you" or anything to that extent. The few times I did see him which was just for a couple of minutes was due to my intiative, but no more. Thanks for your insight, its incredibly helpful.

Women are confused too, but people are ok with that because we still follow the archaic notion that men should chase women and we should sit back and wait. Mutually healthy love doesn’t do this. Both partners equally pursue one another and initiate conversations and next steps.

Something else is important to clarify. There are mixed signals in a relationship (bad) but there are also "mixed signals" in the flirting stage. The later are probably due to the person being cautious because flirting is meant to be plausibly deniable, as in, you may or may not be flirting. That's part of the fun! Mixed signals when you are flirting are normal, in my opinion. Flirting is all about the give and take, being hot then cold, etc. But mixed signals when dating are more concerning.

Im in the flirting stage with a guy and we connect so much/easily. But one day he stopped talking to me for about 2xs out of the week (i only see 2xs a week at my work) so i kept saying hi and he wouldnt say anything, just stare. So i took back my energy, withdrew from him. He came to my work one day and he said,(hi) i didnt say anything back and he asked, (are you okay?) And he seemed so giddy coming up to me but i just looked at him and continued to do my work. This next time which was yesterday, he came and i was just leaving my work and he walked in, we just looked at each other and i did the nod up with my head lol. And he just took a look at me and walked on by. (This time i was all giddy) 😭😄 its annoying with the back and forth but every time we look at each other, i feel like its strong and intense, nostalgic. Ik he knows that im still upset with him for ignoring me and for not clearing up as to why he ignored me. So thats y he's hesitant now, as am i. We always stare at each other as if we want to speak to each other but we hold back 😔❤

This is true…I dated a man last year that was pushing and pulling, which was very confusing. We’d committed to each other to date exclusively and he told me he loved me and wanted to live with me. I am still fond of him…he did it for me. Unfortunately, he did not get it together when he knew he has some issues that he’d hinted at. He’s got some past trauma, insecurities, abandonment, and trust issues. If I’d known then what I know now I would’ve addressed those issues more directly. I could tell his being flooded by those emotions being in love caused some serious uncertainty, which led to those abandonment and needy outbursts, pushing me away. I believe he may have BPD bc all the symptoms are there. He wanted to repair with me, which I was happy to do bc I do love him, but things spiraled again.
