Why both men and women give out “mixed signals”

Lately, I have been getting the “mixed signals” question more and more often and I am compelled to address it. Usually, it’s the guys who are really curious as to why a certain girl they are interested in and who they think is interested in them is much more friendly and flirtatious on some days and acts very distant on other days.

I believe that the explanation of this behavioral phenomenon is rather simple. The behavior of both men and women is constantly changing as our mood is changing from day to day and even throughout the day. We are all friendlier on some days than others, depending on a whole range of circumstances and events that take place on any given day in our lives. So, a man should not expect a woman who is interested in him to constantly flirt with him and be equally friendly at all times.

If you are a guy and you think that a certain girl’s attitude toward you is unstable and she seems to be giving mixed signals to you, think about yourself and ask yourself honestly – are you equally interested in talking to her or getting closer to her every single day? Is your romantic and sexual desire of exactly the same intensity every single day? Of course not. We, humans, don’t operate like that. This appplies to both men and women, although in slightly different ways.

So, if a woman who is usually friendly to you is not as friendly to you on a particular day, don’t assume that she is mad at you or that she is not interested any longer. She might be more serious or looking less happy for many other reasons that have nothing to do with you. But, of course, if she seems to be acting very differently from her usual self, there is nothing wrong with coming up to her and asking if everything is ok.
