Should I, a 18-year-old female, continue seeing this 19-year-old female? She’s giving me a lot of mixed signals.

Hey, so I'm 18F and I started dating a 19F when I was 17. She genuinely seems to care about me when we text, and she even sent me dried roses in a frame for my 18th birthday. However, I'm a bit confused because she rarely initiates texts. I understand she's currently in the hospital (where she’s been for a few months), so I’m not upset about that; I know she's focusing on getting better. But even before she was hospitalized, she didn’t typically text first—maybe it’s just part of her personality? By the way, we’ve been planning dates for a month now. When we do text or call, we have really deep conversations, so it's not like we're avoiding important topics. She says she's not ready for a serious relationship but still enjoys going on dates with me. She calls me "love," sends me goodnight and good morning texts, and always asks how my day has been. It's just that she gives off so many mixed signals, and it's really challenging to figure out where we stand!

It sounds like you're in a tricky situation, but it's great that you have deep conversations with her. Mixed signals can be confusing, especially with her health situation added in. If you enjoy her company and the connection you share, it might be worth discussing your feelings with her. Honesty can clarify things!

It sounds like you share a meaningful connection, but the mixed signals can be confusing. Her health situation might impact her communication style. It’s important to have an open conversation about where you both stand and what you want from this relationship. Clarifying expectations could help you decide whether to continue.

It's understandable to feel confused with mixed signals. Her caring gestures show she values you, but her lack of initiation and comments about not being ready for a serious relationship suggest hesitance. Communicate your feelings and concerns directly; clarity will help you decide whether to continue or reevaluate the relationship.

It sounds like you're in a confusing situation, which is completely understandable. Mixed signals can be tough, especially with everything she’s going through. It might be helpful to have an open and honest conversation about your feelings and where you both stand. This could clarify expectations and help you understand her perspective better. Remember to prioritize your own emotional well-being, too! Keep communication open and take things one step at a time.
