    All of these things are the signs of an emotionally immature woman, someone men should avoid. They're usually unsure of what they want in a relationship and in life overall, haven't healed from past trauma, and are doing this because while they enjoy the attention they get from a guy they don't have any genuine interest in the guy. Most of the time these women are afraid to get close to a guy because they're afraid they might either hurt him, get hurt themselves, or are just too immature to commit to a relationship.

    I got mixed signals from girls in the past and I even got ghosted at times.
    What I used to do about situations like this:
    - take it personally
    - overreact or pick fights
    - curse or threaten
    What I do now in situations like this:
    1. Take it lightly
    2. Let them go
    3. Stick with the people that like and accept me

      IDK about that. I did the let’s date tango with a women when I was younger. All outward signs from her were I want to date you, but when it came to actually going on a date, she always put up a barrier. It was truly mixed signals. Deep down inside, I didn’t know what to think. I guess she found me attractive, but deep down inside herself she had doubts about dating me, but couldn’t just tell me that. I ended up meeting another woman not long after that and am still with her 25 years later.

      It’s not necessarily a bad thing
      I have no doubt that some of the people who behave this way may have some issues
      But other people simply aren’t in a hurry and aren’t trying to jump into a relationship just for the sake of being in one. They’re looking for the right relationship
      An easy way to deal with this is to simply teach yourself to be outcome independent. When you are just beginning to date and get to know someone…You’re happy if they are available and have time and want to make time for you. And you’re just as happy if sometimes they pull back, because your life is good regardless
      Match and mirror their behavior. If they’re coming on strong… reciprocate and go with it. If they pull back a little… you do the same. It’s no big deal. Over time you’ll figure out what you’re actually dealing with, and it’s not always bad

    Base line: if you get mixed signals, get out.
    As a pretty inexperienced guy, if I get mixed signals I just assume she doesn't like me. Simple and I know not to invest my energy & emotions. If a girl likes me she can approach first but I don't bother making the first move (I enjoy being single and don't need to look for a partner so I won't make a move. And I'll only accept if I see that a relationship with someone is better than my blissful singleness).
    Lastly, if she's flirting with other guys as well... She belongs to tha streets.

      It's like what people say, you need to be dating a high value woman which you probably won't see very often in most places if you're still improving yourself early on. Probably the easiest and mature types are probably single moms, but even that's a handful if you're not prepared for all the kids that come with relationships. That's kinda why dating someone early on can actually be a lot stressful because she probably hasn't even matured enough to handle relationships properly.

      Just request a 'yes or no' answer. It's not just indecisive or malicious females giving other people the runaround. A ton of people tend to have diarrhea of the mouth when all we want is a sentence. Personally I've long since disregarded relations but channels like this help by keeping me up to date on the misery the ladies are giving guys. Other communities I casually follow are involved with rich people wanting to moderate what we can/can't do and when told to give a straight answer, they too blab on about nothing or stutter like Porky Pig.

    Number #1 and #2 are the ones I have the most experience with. It usually goes, they'll play hard to get and I move on. After a few weeks to a month and some change, they'll hit me to "check in". When I first started dating this would reel me right back in. Now I just tell them I moved on which prompts the myriad excuses they'd come up with. Just recently I matched with a girl on a dating app talking about I "ghosted" her... No, I unmatched because the girl would take weeks to get back to me. To the women, a man's time is just as valuable as yours. To the men, move on from people who don't respect your time. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

      Hah. I never tolerated that shit. I said good luck to a few women who took just a couple days to continue the conversation and they made some excuse about being too busy. I flat out told them, "Bullshit. No one is too busy to take 20 seconds to tell a person they may be interested in they'll be busy for a few days and they'll get back to you soon. The 2 more likely options are that either I'm not your first choice and you're waiting to see how it pans out with the other guy or you're simply a selfish person with no manners or common courtesy. None of which are scenarios I tolerate." Usually I was just unmatched/deleted and occasionally one would try to defend themselves, to which I'd reply, "Then don't take days to continue conversation with someone you've established communication with....with the next guy." Every woman who made it to dating messaged/texted daily or had the courtesy to say they weren't available.

    Incredible timing for this video. Over the past few weeks I have been talking to this woman, trying to set up a date. I usually vet them over a phone call first. She seemed okay, but had low energy on the call, and so I offered suggestions on what to do, she turned most of them down and then I told her to recommend something she likes. She didn't respond for 5 days, and today we were supposed to meet and she's like lets meet on later in the week, and I just told her "you're clearly uninterested, so I will pass". I blocked her number afterwards.

    I think there's something to be said about not constantly hounding her that makes her perceive you as more attractive because it demonstrates that you have other things going on in life and aren't desperate/needy. And in terms of a girl entertaining you only after she sees you with other women, it's a form of social proof. If other girls find a guy attractive, a woman will subconsciously see the guy as more attractive also because it acts as sexual validation for the guy.

    Great advice Courtney. Mixed signals is one of the more difficult things for guys. The problem is rooted in the different communication styles between men and women. I remember once having a conversation with a much younger woman who didn't understand why this guy kept asking her out. She always said "well. maybe another time" but he kept asking. I told her she needed to firmly say no I'm not interested. She refused to say that because she felt it was impolite. I told her it was far more polite to honestly tell him how she felt, but I could not convince her. Back in my day, the whole dating thing sometimes felt for me like I was navigating a minefield. Probably the same for women.

And be harsh with such things, if she seem to want you offer her a chance, if she fucks around, then get her out. When you complicated you get to the point of giving up and for what?

She will say that she wants a serious relationship, but then she openly talks about going on casual dates and "having fun". And so on.

    I dealt with a girl who would always agree to go out and do something, but would always cancel last minute, often without even messaging me. It would put me through a roller coaster of emotions because I would legitimately plan for these events (including getting my car fixed for a road trip), only to get ghosted. Very painful to go through, so I talked to her in person saying "we don't have to date, we can just be friends, or if you really want me to I can just walk away completely--no pressure." She said she DID want to date but she was just very busy getting ready for her trip to visit her family in the coming weeks. Fair enough, I thought. Honestly though, if she truly cared, it wouldn't take long to at least say "Sorry, but I won't be able to make it." Instead, she would just ghost, and that's probably the worst thing you could do to someone you supposedly want to date. Eventually I was comfortable distancing myself from her, because life isn't worth playing those silly games, legitimate reasons or not.

    Thank you for taking the time to address this vitally important, but surely very awkward subject in dating. It's really one of the toughest subjects out there, and as a member of the fairer sex, it must be very diffcult for you to discuss.
    I'd like to add two more forms of "mixed signals" that I've encountered directly, often more than once:
    1) She comes on stronger than she means to, often with midly oaffectionate gestures or even super-helpful ones (like small gifts) that would be huge green flags coming from anyone else. Some of those few pretty girls who actually have nice temperaments often fall into this trap (having perhaps been over-reliant on using their charm to ingratiate themselves), especially if they're already in relationships and think that they're "safe" as a result. But really, they're just trying to be nice.
    2) She stays aloof for weeks or even months, before tentatively talking to you or doing you a small favor, just to test the waters. Then if she decides she's not comfortable, she then drifts away from you again.

    Something I always abided by was "if I'm not interested, I'm not pursuing her". There were times, when I was younger, that my lack of pursuing someone intrigued them. A point that Courtney made in another video... in high school, I got asked if I was gay - twice - by a girl that I had no clue was interested in me. Looking back as an adult, I can see the signals she sent clear as day, but at 17, I was clueless.
    As far as women being interested in taken guys... that one drives me nuts. I've always been single, so the number of women interested in me - or girls, when I was younger - has been few and far between.

    All of this complexity is unreal. I think the bottom line is that if she's sending mixed signals, move on. Also, this is more validation for avoiding women at work. Women can send out mixed signals then, after the man thinks she may be interested and responds positively, she goes and complains to HR. Next, the man loses his job.

    Hi Courtney, a first time listener here, and I love your videos! I have a story about mixed signals, but instead of being from a woman it was from a gay friend of mine. I had always been heterosexual, so I did not notice that he was very attracted to me, and that he was showing some of these same behaviors that a woman does with a straight guy. Finally he got tired of me not noticing him, so he told a mutual woman friend of ours about his feelings, and she helped him to arrange a romantic evening with me at his apartment. Courtney, I had no idea what they had planned! I had no idea that women could be so sneaky! LOL Surprisingly, I found that I was as attracted to him as he was to me, and that night I had my first gay experience. Randy and I are now a couple, and I really have to thank our mutual friend for getting us together, because if she hadn't become involved, then I probably never would have thought about Randy as a lover because I didn't notice his mixed sigals. Thanks for all tha great videos Courtney!

    A few months ago, I got the swing in attention thing from a girl where I'm pretty sure the cause was that she didn't get that some level of attention I gave her was due to romantic interest. She is definitely sometimes really socially oblivious. When something tragic happened that made me evaluate where I was putting time and energy into I stopped spending as much time interacting with her. She seemed to notice something was different started initiating interactions instead. So I guess that's another potential cause for that particular behavior. (She did seem to put 2 and 2 together after I took a shot at inviting her to do something together and turned me down but again, some friends think she's just that oblivious but in any case I've met women since that I'm far more interested in)

I’ve pretty much thought of nearly all of these as why it could be but at the end one is left in the dark so it’s cool to see my hypotheses on this hold up.

    One very common reason that a person sends mixed signals is that they have some form of BPD. They simply have trouble regulating their emotions and can be at either end of the spectrum from one moment to the next.
    Note; It's way harder on that person to be in this state than it is on you.

      That's just outright stupidity. Many people aren't naturally emotional or communicate properly. It's often something that has to be learned and should be done earlier in life, but parents failed them. Peer pressure among women is also terrible, so women can be subject to taking terrible advice from their friends (often based on their own poor judgement, being a slut, or watching too much terrible tv/social media). Sometimes they just make poor decisions. There's a 1,001 reasons other than BPD for the way women act.

      true,& rejection with "i'm busy" can be due to people being caught in other psychological health issues too,eg.people having sleep + procrastination/ocd/time management issues. they may have difficulties making time for a relationship even if they want to when they're barely functioning.
      🔹& so they may say they're busy but its a different kind from being work/regular life busy.
      🔸𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣
      🔹& they may not want to talk about it with a person if they dont know them well. so they can only say they're busy.
      🔸𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚𝙨
      🔹if they have ptsd or they're introverts they can take time to open up.
      🔸𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨
      🔹there are also cautious & exceptional personality types & those not being discussed means that people are more likely to be misunderstood.
      🔸𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚.
      🔹i rarely see advice about dating with psychological health issues faced by regular people that aren't as extreme as narcissism/psychopathy.
      🔸𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨.
      🔹& it causes communication gap & misunderstandings as average dating advice doesn't apply to them.

    I am usually dense when it comes to girls giving me the signal but maybe it stems from a girl I had a crush on in high school. I was with a friend at Quiznos eating lunch and she came in and walked to our table. Rather than pull up a chair she sat in my lap for a bit and chatted with us before leaving. I thought that was her giving me a sign she liked me but I was rejected when I asked her out lol. I think I subconsciously 2nd guess all signals now

  • @michaelsantangelo7997

    Reading the signals is hard enough as it is....some women make it especially hard. I don't know whether these women are just completely oblivious to how their behavior indicates interest, or whether they are maliciously trying to rope in guys they're not attracted to just to get off on rejecting them. Here are some of the mixed signals I've dealt with over the years:
    I had a female friend I had a crush on. She was in a relationship. When they broke up, she started paying a lot more attention to me/complimenting me, etc. One day, she threw her arms around me, held me tightly for several seconds, and whispered in my ear, "I love you Mike." A few days later, I asked her out. She rejected me, saying she wasn't ready to date anyone and that she wasn't into white guys (we're both white). By the end of the week she was dating another white guy.
    I met a girl on a dating site once. We were texting. One night, she texted me that she was alone at home, drunk, and very very horny. When I said come over, she responded with, sorry I'm not interested in you sexually.
    One day I was on public transportation with some guy friends. A girl interrupted our conversation, started talking to me, asked me for my number, invited herself over to my place to watch a movie, showed up decked out in her best clothes with makeup and perfume with a romantic movie. just when it seemed like we were going to hook up, she abruptly left. Then she texted me the next day saying that she had a great time and wanted to know if she could come over Saturday to practice her massage therapy techniques on me. She said how about 9am? I said, wouldn't it be more romantic if we did it at night? Silence for a half hour. Then a deluge of text messages about how she didn't mean to be misleading, but she's not interested in me that way and she left abruptly that movie night because she felt like she was going to hook up with me but didn't actually want that.
    I met a girl right before the pandemic. We were texting and she kept saying she wanted to go out with me. Then I just stopped hearing from her. About a year and a half later, she texted me from another number and said she had lost her job because of the pandemic and got her phone turned off, but she was working again and wanted to go out with me. I said ok when? She texted back, "I'm available Monday". I said great let's get together on Monday. Never heard from her again.
    I was texting with this other girl I met. She made plans with me and flaked out 3 times. So I told her to stop contacting me. She continued. I blocked her. Several months later, she called me from another number. She wanted to come over. I said ok. She proceeded to call me from like 4 different phone numbers all throughout the night drunk in various bars. Then she showed up at my front door at 8am to tell me she wasn't interested in hooking up with me.
    I once had a girl ask me out and then flake out at the last minute 4 times in a row.
    Another girl I met told me that after she met me she was talking to her mom about me and saying she met an amazing guy. I asked her out. She said yes. We made plans. I texted her about an hour before I had to leave to go meet her. She responded oh yeah sorry can't make it today. She wasn't even going to tell me. Never heard from her again.
    Another time, I was on my way home late and tired. I was listening to music on my headphones waiting for the train. A girl interrupted my music and just started talking to me. She said we used to work together. I didn't remember her at all but that's not unusual. There are a lot of people at work that I train and never see again. She told me I looked great. Turned out we were getting on the same train. We talked the whole time. Turned out we were getting off at the same stop and lived close together. She asked me if I'd like to go with her to get some food before going home. We went out for a snack. Then we exchanged numbers and went our separate ways. I waited 2 days then texted her. She responded later that day. I sent her the trailer to a film we had been talking about and asked how her day was. Never heard from her again. She didn't even open those last few text messages.
    And the most messed up of all mixed signals I've ever gotten: one time I was in bed with a girl fooling around. I went to move things along. The girl said no. So I tried to get up off her. She wrapped her arms and legs tightly around me and forcefully prevented me from getting off her while saying no no I don't want to do this. I had to overpower her and break loose to get off her. I never called her again.

  • @WindmillChef
    @WindmillChef ปีที่แล้ว +1

    this video is mostly all true facts and very well dictated, very concise and clear. Great job.
    I'll start with the solution, it is really not as complicated as we make it out to be, we just get excited which is a good thing. When you are interested in a woman (whether she sends signals or not) start with baby steps, not aggressive, steps that you can walk back if you have to, to save embarrassment and/or awkwardness. Then asses if she took it kindly, if your approach was welcome and if it was, take the next step.
    Baby step, wait and see, another baby step, wait and see and build it up.
    You can start with a simple "Hello." If her response is cold, you simply nod and move on, if her response is very friendly, possibly with eye contact, step 2. "How is your day treating you?" Simple
    3. "What brings you here?" Switch up and use less cliche-ish phrases and mix it up, not the same verbiage for 128 women and approaches "This is a cool place, what is it that made you end up here today?"
    4. Make a comment about something you see right there and then (at this point it is the only thing that you know about her, possibly and that you can comment on) and do it maybe in question form "I like your handbag, I noticed it right away, it's unique, it really calls to be noticed, you wear it every day?...wait a minute, do women wear a handbag or do they use a handbag, how do you say that?" Let her answer, see if she goes into talking about her handbag, does she thank you pleasantly for the compliment.
    5. Start fishing and digging...for anything in common ground, you do this by throwing all Spaghetti at the wall until something sticks, TV programs, video games, outdoor activities, shopping, sports, etc. :Do you like football? (wait for response) it's just, I watched for 3 hours last night and I am bumb'd (check body language when you say I'm bumb'd), my Cowboys lost. Yeah, sorry, I don't watch 'Grey is mad at me reruns, only if a female sitting next to me on the sofa makes me watch them and that hasn't been the case lately" That's TV. "Buddy of mine asked me to go with him mountain hiking next week, I'm thinking about whether to go, haven't gone hiking in a long time" (wait for response) That's outdoor activities. "If I go I might have to go shopping for some gear, click on Land's End Apparel or something, you know where to shop for hiking...clothes?" (wait for response) That's shopping. Just clicking down a list until you find something that she's interested in, common ground. When I say wait for her response, I mean let her do some talking, create an exchange, likelihood is something will work and she take off talking, fully engaging in the conversation.
    So far, 5 baby steps and we are still at a stage that if she goes cold, uninterested in you you can step away "Hey, nice talking to you, be well!" without embarrassment or awkwardness. How should you behave and/or pose during this? Simple, be you!
    Down the road, when so many steps have gone well and it's time to let her know of your interest and intentions, at this time no more baby steps, no wafering and waffling, you tell her very clearly, very assured, very straight that you are crushing on her and that you want more of her. No holding back at that time but by then you should be reasonably certain that she likes you mutually.
    Couple of things to know about mixed signals, it is really true that most women go, for a lifetime, through self doubting and insecurity, specially when it comes to competition from other women, they question if they look good enough, if they picked the right clothes, the right make-up and on and on, insecurity plays a big role in mixed signals and it is easy to detect and gives you an opportunity to help her at ease, by complimenting, affirming her thougts, being interested in what she says and giving her attention.
    Second, it really does still happen that some drop dead gorgeous women are just so nice and pleasant, genuinely, they wonder why so many men approach them, they think men are great because men are always nice to them and they have no clue how gorgeous they are. This, we can easily misread as thinking that they are really into us, when the truth is that they are just so nice to everyone.

She was complaining all the time of her ex. When i understood that she didn t knew anything else to do, i left her.

The last two girls I talked to approached me first, were smiling at me, laughing at my jokes, blushing around me, and hugging me. Then when I asked them out they said they were busy. I asked them when they were free to get together and they said I don't know. These women are nothing but attention whores that are trying to boost thier ego and they don't give a crap about you.
