Men aren't as confusing as we think they are. Even though they constantly send us mixed signals, you can determine how your crush feels about you by analyzing exactly what he does. Here are some of the most "confusing" guy habits that are actually easy to interpret:
1. He Stares without Asking You out
If a guy with a girlfriend stares at you, then you shouldn't spend hours obsessing over what it could possibly mean. You don't want to get involved with another girl's boyfriend, and chances are that the guy staring isn't even interested in dating you. Men love to look at pretty things, which means that he finds you attractive. Of course, just because you're gorgeous doesn't mean that he wants to be in a relationship with you. Unless he breaks up with his girlfriend for you, those stares don't mean as much as you'd hope.
2. He Doesn't Call when He Says
Why do men claim that they'll call you? Because they think that it's what you want to hear, and they want to make you happy. Of course, later on it will completely slip their mind, because talking isn't as important to him as it is to you. So if a guy claims he's going to call, he's probably just saying it to keep you happy until he walks away to talk to another girl.
3. He Refuses to Commit
He'll kiss you, but he won't date you. He'll sleep with you, but he won't meet your parents. Why? The answer is obvious. He wants all of the benefits of being your boyfriend with none of the negatives. He wants to be free to date other women and go out without consulting you, but he still wants a warm body to hold. He's just being selfish.
4. He Teases You
Some men tease the women they like. Why? Because they consider it a form of flirting that can't end in embarrassment. If he teases you about your haircut, and you tell him you have no interest in him, he can claim that he was being serious and clearly has no interest in you either. It's an easy way to cover up his feelings.
5. He Won't Express Emotion
When it comes to men, actions speak louder than words. If he does everything he can for you, but refuses to admit he likes you, then it's because he's used to hiding his feelings. Men aren't encouraged to express their emotions in the same way women are, so even if he won't come out and say those three little words, he might still feel them.
6. He Always Texts You
If he sends you good morning and good night texts every day of the week, he likes you. If he won't reply to your messages, even after you've sent three in a row and have waited three days, then he's not interested in you. His texting habits can tell you a lot about his feelings for you.
7. He Sends Mixed Signals
If he flirts with you one day, and then ignores you the next, he's not sure if he wants to be with you or not. There are so many opinions out there and he doesn't want to make the wrong choice. You can either ask him out in order to convince him to choose you, or just wait until he finally makes up his mind. Whatever you choose to do, don't waste your time trying to figure him out, because he doesn't even know what he wants.
The confusing things men do are actually pretty simple to understand once you look at your situation logically. What's the most confusing thing your crush has ever done?
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do guys sometimes seem so confusing in their actions?
- Oh, I totally get it! Guys can act in ways that just make you go 'huh?' Sometimes it's because they're not great at expressing feelings or they think they're being clear when they really aren’t.
- My guy's actions and words don't always match. Is that normal?
- Absolutely, it can be totally normal. Sometimes, they might say one thing but act another way because they’re unsure or just figuring out their own feelings. It’s confusing but doesn’t necessarily mean something’s wrong.
- Why doesn't he just say what he means?
- Great question! Sometimes guys struggle with verbalizing their thoughts or fears. They might think they’re protecting themselves or you, or they’re just not sure how to put things into words.
- Is it possible he's just not that into me if he's confusing?
- It could be a possibility, but it’s not always the case. Sometimes confusion is just miscommunication rather than disinterest. It’s good to look at the overall pattern and maybe have an honest chat with him.
- How can I better understand his confusing habits?
- Communication is key! Talking openly about how you feel and asking him directly about his actions can make a big difference. Also, try to pay attention to his non-verbal cues—they can give a lot away.
