Those Aren't Mixed Signals, You're Just In Denial

If he/she is sending you mixed signals, that is a message in itself.

Those Aren't Mixed Signals, You're Just In Denial
Twenty Something Living

Let me guess. You met someone whom you share an immediate connection with. You're fixated with the idea that he/she could be interested, but they haven't made their move yet. You're not sure if you're wasting your time since there's reason to believe they are into you, but they won't act on it.

If he/she is sending you mixed signals, that is a message in itself.

You shouldn't be clouded with confusion. What he says, how he says it; those are signals that should not be deciphered. Trying to "understand" what he/she meant by asking friends, or looking online, will land you to the same answer. You'll constantly latch onto the parts you desire to happen and disregard the truth.

Not to be blunt, but he/she is just not that into you.

Let's say a guy meets a girl he finds cool and attractive. He decides to pursue her. He enjoys hanging out with her, but he may string her along as he moves on to other conquests. Or maybe he's just nervous and is unsure of how you feel, so he backs off until you show interest. He's open to exploring and seeing how things go, but she is not his top priority. He's into her, but not the "I need her now" feeling. Now, this is where girls fall into trouble. They either waste their time analyzing the guys behavior and contemplate how he feels about them, or they drive themselves to insanity as to what they did wrong and how they always screw it up.

Now, aren't you sick of the constant hot and coldness? Where you're sure they are interested by either what they say to you, or to someone else, and yet there's no progress? They say they want to spend more time with you, yet when the time comes, they do a 360 on you and turn the other way. It's the standard he said one thing, but did another. Now he/she has your mind circling around the idea that they may be into you, but their actions say otherwise.

So, where do you go from here?

I'll tell you what to do. Wake up and realize you're worth so much more than what he/she is handing to you. If he was iffy from the start, there wasn't anything there to begin with. His ambivalence is unfair to you, and you should never settle for a string along. Just because they're unsure of their feelings does not mean they can play you until they have it figured out. You deserve the world, and if he doesn't see that, than you have your answer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
