Dating: Mixed signals
Most of us have been subjected to the mixed signals of dating. You get a green light, then you get a red one. Things get red hot, then suddenly they turn cold. What gives?!
A friend of mine is dating a guy who only kicks up his efforts when she acts as if she is not interested in him. She will ignore his calls and text messages for a few days and put him on the back burner. That is when he kicks it into high gear and pursues her more. Their most romantic dates usually occur after she decides he is out of her life.
Perhaps it is about having a challenge; maybe he is dating multiple people and wants to keep her in the mix. Do you think that mixed signals is really just a sign that someone is being played?
What do you do when the person you are seeing starts to get a little flaky and inconsistent? If you really like them, do you try to be a little patient or can mixed signals be the deal breaker?

You know the gay guy is a fake, and just posting to troll, right?
Sociopath.

Thanksgiving should be the time when we are thankful for all we have, including being thankful we live in a society where differing opinions from all sectors of life is the epitome of our free society.
PEACE!

I don’t know if fake but he came here to duke…in case anybody was feeling empathy for him. He already knew what it would be. He was ready to project being a victim because he ain’t found yet anybody that sees right in doing folks husbands.

I know Blackfoote but he wanted folks to gather around and ask probing questions while he sat center ring (in his twan voice)…remember the dude from Lowdown Dirty Shame….that’s the character that instantly popped in my head…”well see what had happened was” and what person in their right minds will say…in twan’s voice…..”I’m just sick of being taken behind the dumpster and butt pumped while she sits at the booth at waffle house”…..C’MOOOOON in their right mind? I think not.

Really? 11pm? So you fill in is any one calls out sick? Just great I’m sure is what you’re thinking. Well sir, my day is about done and I’m out in about 10 minutes. About to call this client back and let her know all is a go.

you should not expect anything from a person that is “wishy washy” about basic things like, if i like you or not… so when your “friend” is saying one thing and doing another, not only is he or she dishonoring you, and wasting your time…they are in desperate need of space. like the kind NASA provides.
