How to not read into things or give mixed signals.... pt 1

Out of my 21 years of life, a little less than half of those have been spent having crushes on boys. I have been guilty of reading into things on more occasions than I can count, and on the opposite side of the spectrum, I have also been guilty of giving mixed signals. Neither is healthy, neither is productive, and both are preventable. Girls, here is the basic rule: whatever you do, do NOT read into what a guy says to you. He says what he means, there is never a hidden meaning. If he likes you, be confident that eventually he will come clean about it. Heartbreak is completely avoidable if you don't read into things, and just take them at face value. Guys, if a girl like you, you're gonna know. She is going to show you, and it is going to be obvious. That's the bottom line. No if, ands or buts about it. You too can avoid heartbreak by simply knowing and understanding these basic rules. I'm not saying it's easy, in fact it's kind of a constant battle for your heart. But it's totally worth it.
