Red Light, Green Light

One of the most frustrating things for girls, and I can imagine for guys, is the way we've all perfected the art of mixed signals. Being excited about someone new has the fun and frustration mixed together to either be something amazing or something completely disappointing.

For most of the single folks out there (including myself) the mixed signal concept is a simple one. They're not interested. Get out of your head and stop making excuses for them and you. It's easy. If there are moments where you "thought" something was about to happen or could have happened, it didn't for one of two reasons:

1. They aren't interested - despite of what you may think or what you want
2. They believe the same about you - that you aren't interested. If that's the case then give it some time, afterall, timing is everything!

The point of this post is a reminder to stop thinking that your significant other knows what you're thinking. Guess what? The other person is not in your head and can't read your mind, so don't assume that they can. I've seen and been a part of many arguments from couples and as a couple where the other assumes they know what the other should be thinking.

If you're a couple pick your battles. If you're single be straightforward - you'll save yourself confusion and the other person from it as well.

On the other hand, mixed signals tend to keep people on their toes and relationships interesting. Not to mention it helps fuel boat loads of girls night conversations.

Red light, green light.
