How to Avoid Sending Mixed Signals To Male Friends

When it comes to members of the opposite sex, there are so many opportunities for miscommunications and mix ups. This can definitely happen when you are in a romantic setting with a guy. But this can also occur even when you are just friends. Many people wonder if it is possible for men and women to truly ever be just friends because of the many differences in how men and women communicate. This can happen when one person may have feelings and the other doesn’t, or simply because someone could read too much into the other person’s actions. So with all of the confusion surrounding being friends with guys, it is important to know how to be clear in how you communicate with them. To learn more, check out these tips on how to avoid sending mixed signals to male friends.

Let them know you have a boyfriend

One thing you want to make sure you do when dealing with a male friend is to let them know your relationship status. The sooner you tell him, the better so that you do not risk any kind of confusion from the beginning. You can easily work it into a conversation that you have a boyfriend, so that it doesn’t get unnecessarily awkward. Whatever way works best for you is fine, just be sure that you make it known in some way. With guys, it is best to lay things out as plainly as possible so that you don’t leave too much up to chance or gray area. This will not give them the space to fill in the blanks with whatever their imagination can come up with.
