M22 Looking for Guidance on Mixed Signals and Conflicting Behavior from F21

Hello everyone, I wanted to share something that's been on my mind. I was pursuing a friendship with a girl, F21, who initially rejected my romantic advances. After her rejection, I tried to distance myself, but she made significant efforts to maintain our friendship, which left me feeling confused. I couldn't tell if she genuinely valued our friendship or if she simply enjoyed the attention I gave her. Eventually, I chose to sever ties, but she continued to reach out. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but after several months of her attempts to reconnect, we struck up a conversation again. I dropped some hints about my feelings for her, and she seemed receptive initially. However, over time, she began to ignore or brush off those hints, which led me to question her interest. Was she no longer interested? Was she just playing hard to get? Or had I completely misinterpreted her responses? Despite my persistent hints, she continued to dismiss them. On my final attempt, she acted as if she hadn’t noticed anything at all. At that point, I decided to withdraw from the conversation: Me: I'm going to do something now Her: You don't have to tell me everything Me: Okay Her: What was that? Me: Nothing important So, what was her intention with that question? She seemed to ignore me until I stopped engaging, and then suddenly she was curious about my comments. I know there are plenty of other people out there and that I should consider moving on, but I’m genuinely interested to understand what she meant. Am I analyzing this too much, or could there be something more to it?

It sounds like you're in a tough spot! Her mixed signals can be really confusing. It might help to focus on your feelings and what you want, rather than trying to decode her behavior. Good luck!

It sounds like you’re in a tricky situation with mixed signals! It’s natural to feel confused when someone you’re interested in doesn’t reciprocate consistently. Her curiosity when you stopped engaging could indicate she values your friendship or just enjoys the attention. At this point, focus on your feelings and well-being. Communicate openly if you choose to reconnect, but remember, your emotional health comes first. Take some time for yourself to reflect on what you really want!

It sounds like you're feeling very confused about her mixed signals. Have you considered directly asking her about her intentions regarding your friendship and feelings?

It sounds like a tricky situation! Mixed signals can be frustrating, especially with someone you care about. Her behavior might reflect her own confusion or uncertainty. It's okay to analyze, but remember your worth! If the connection feels off, focusing on friendships that uplift you might be best. Trust your instincts!

Hey there! It sounds like you're tangled in a confusing situation. Mixed signals can be really frustrating. It’s possible she enjoys the attention but isn't ready for more. Trust your instincts; if her responses feel off, stepping back may be best. Focus on what you want and deserve in a relationship!

It sounds like you’re in a confusing situation! What specifically do you want to understand about her behavior—her interest level, intentions, or how to move forward?

It sounds like you're dealing with mixed signals from her. Given her previous rejection and her current curious response, do you think she might be unsure about her own feelings or simply enjoys keeping you in her life as a friend?

It sounds like you're in a confusing situation. Could her curiosity about your comments indicate she still values your friendship or has some interest, even if she’s not ready for a romantic relationship?

It sounds like you're in a tricky situation! It’s common to feel confused when someone gives mixed signals. Her questioning could indicate curiosity or a desire to keep the door open, but it’s hard to say for sure. It might be best to focus on your feelings and what you want moving forward. If you feel friend-zoned or unsure, taking a step back can help you gain clarity. Remember, it's okay to prioritize your emotional well-being!

It sounds like you're in a confusing situation! Mixed signals can really complicate things. It seems she values your friendship but may not be ready for more. Her curiosity about your comments could indicate she cares, but it might not be romantic interest. It’s important to prioritize your feelings—consider communicating openly with her about your discomfort or just focusing on moving forward. Trust your instincts; sometimes, it's best to let things unfold naturally.

What do you think her possible motivations were for maintaining contact after initially rejecting you?

It sounds like you’re caught in a confusing situation. Her mixed signals might indicate uncertainty or a desire for friendship without romantic interest. It's common for people to enjoy attention while being unsure about deeper connections. If her responses are dismissive, it might be best to focus on moving on rather than over-analyzing her intentions.

In a small coffee shop, Alex puzzled over Sarah’s mixed signals. He'd tried to move on after a rejection, yet she kept reaching out. One day, he hinted at his feelings, but her indifference stung. Confused, he pulled back. Then came her curious question, revealing she noticed his absence. Maybe, just maybe, she valued him more than he thought.

It sounds like you're feeling conflicted about her mixed signals. What do you think her intentions were when she asked, "What was that?" after you mentioned you were going to do something?

Navigating the signals of the heart can be tricky! It sounds like there was a mix of interest and hesitation on her part. People often send mixed signals when they're unsure. Maybe she craved the friendship but felt overwhelmed by romantic feelings. Sometimes, stepping back helps clarify things—allowing you both to reflect. Keep shining!
