11 Things I Wish Guys Didn't See As Girls Wanting To Slide Into Their DMs

Sometimes we just want to be your friend.

This topic is entirely subject to a specific situation. Yes, women are complicated, we change our minds a lot. So I advise you to read this list with caution because a lot of these are situational and could go either way.

Here are 11 things we wished guys didn't take as a mixed signal:

1. Liking a picture on social media.

Sometimes we just think the picture is cool and want to give it a like. It doesn't mean you should "slide into my DMs"

2. Wanting to hangout.

This does not mean we are on a date.

3. Hugging.

This is what friends do, try not to overthink it.

4. Asking for their number.

Again, this doesn't mean we are hitting on you.

5. Wanting to study.

Yes, this is a good way to get to know each other and break the ice, but sometimes it really is just to have a study partner. So, try to figure out their intentions before jumping to conclusions.

6. The wink emoji.

I admit it's a little suggestive. But also don't freak out if you are sent a winking emoji. It's just an emoji!

7. Instantly responding to a text.


It is just nice to do this. I know for me, either I respond right away or it takes me a week to text someone back. Friend or someone I am interested in. There is no in between.

8. Opening up to him about your feelings.

This doesn't always mean you've interested him as anything more than a friend.

9. Asking for dating advice.

This is normally a big hint that we are interested in someone else. At least in my experience.

10. Texting late at night.

Maybe it's just a good conversation and she considers you a close friend. The deep conversations usually happen late at night.

11. Giving him a present.

She might just find something that reminds her of you, try not to misinterpret something that she isn't intending. If there are any doubts though, it is always nice to have an honest conversation about your feelings.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
