How to not read into things or give mixed signals pt. 2

Once upon a time there a boy named... Steve. Steve was a nice guy, and he tried his absolute best to do what's right. Steve was also what one would call a... well a ladies man. All the girls loved him, and Steve loved them. They flocked to him, and the nice guy that he was, Steve would flirt right back. Needless to say each girl thought that Steve liked them. Each one thought that they were the one for him. But what these girls didn't realize was that Steve had no intention of dating any of them, he was just enjoying being young and single. Steve was giving these girls what we call, "mixed signals". He was acting like he had feelings for each of these girls, but he lacked the intent. It doesn't mean that he was a bad guy, its just a lack of communication. But the question of the hour is, how could Steve have prevented this miscommunication? How could he have prevented himself from giving mixed signals? First things first, he needs to eliminate the flirting. I understand flirting is fun, but flirting with a lack of intention only leads to confused people and hurt feelings. Honestly we don't even need a second step, that first step is a cure all to mixed signals. Just don't flirt without intention to follow through. It's really that simple. And once we do that, mixed signals are a thing of the past, and we can live a life of healthy friendships and dating relationships. Once we master this step, we are closer to learning how to not date like an idiot.
