Please, I cannot stress this enough: for the sake of your mental health, take mixed signals, inconsistency, and wishy-washy behavior as a no. If someone truly wanted to be in your life, they would make it clear. They would show up consistently, communicate openly, and prioritize you. If someone truly values you, they will never put themselves in a position to risk losing you. Stop making excuses for their lack of effort or clarity. You deserve someone who shows up without hesitation, who respects your time and energy, and who makes you feel secure. Don't settle for less than that. Your peace is worth more than their indecision.
