Mixed Signals?!

I received them all the time. I don't mean to be stereotypical, because I know some awesome girls that understand what I mean, but this is the reason why I love hanging out with the guys more than I do girls. One moment, they'll be smiling at you and thanking your for doing them a favor, then the next moment they'll yell, "YOU SHOULD'VE KNOWN I WAS MAD AT YOU!!!" This is why we should have single-room dorms in America, or at least have co-ed dorms on my campus.

I receive them from friends and family, but moreso from female friends and maybe a couple of male friends who will cuddle and invite me to watch an on-line gaming party one day and then tell me that they want to date my friend and ignore me the next. I try to remain calm and if I can get a word in I'll try to tell them that I didn't know. However, from experience with female roommates, it's best just to look solemn and nod and wait for them to calm down. If they don't storm out of the room, just look at them and say calmly, "Well, just tell me EXACTLY what you want me to do and I'll do it. And don't say 'YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN' because I am not a mind reader." It could work with parents, but I haven't tried it.

I mostly try to ignore the mixed signals. I just take a guess at what to do with life and go with it. If it's not to their liking then I either explain what I thought they meant or just try to stay out of their way and do what I can to avoid another yell-fest.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
