A touch on the shoulder, a different hug, a short kiss, a certain facial expression, a little sparkle in her eye, and even the slightest tremble in her voice. All of these small, minuscule things lead to one very confused boyfriend. Girls always seem to give extremely unnoticeable signals to “tell” their boyfriends or potential boyfriends how they feel.

Although you’d think it would be fun to play, “Let’s Guess My Feelings,” it’s quite the opposite. Not knowing our sweethearts emotions and having her hide them behind a veil of impossible to read signals can be very, very frustrating for guys. Only some guys truly enjoy fighting for the things they want such as an answer to a question or to know how their special girls are feeling. Most guys will only get discouraged and annoyed if you refuse to tell them straight out and will lose any interest in knowing. Guys understand that girls use certain signals to convey certain feelings or thoughts without actually saying them out loud. The signals are intended to make things easier for girls to communicate, but in the end, the signals are often crossed and nothing is solved.

Most guys like things laid out plain and simple in front of them. When we’re sad, we’re quiet; when we’re happy, we smile; when we’re bothered, we’re distant; and when we’re hungry, our tummies growl. No matter what we’re feeling, we usually show it in our own ways. The difference between these ways and the signals that we are given by girls is that ours are very hard to misinterpret.

When we can’t tell what a girl’s signals means, they get extremely mad at us and say that we just don’t “understand.” Most guys can’t help the fact that we’re not very good problem solvers especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Please don’t blame us for not being able to comprehend your signs, but a lot of times its just to hard and frustrating to try and decipher their meaning.

Guys don’t mean to misinterpret girls’ signal’s and we honestly try our best to understand anything that’s going on in their lives. We just like things laid out in front of us plain and simple, and these signals go against all simplicity. Guys don’t get frustrated over the fact that we don’t understand girls’ signals. We get frustrated by the fact that we don’t know how the girls in our lives are feeling at any given time.

Since signals are just a way to communicate feelings, it would be wrong to try and stop it. We will try our best to try and understand as long as girls try their best not to get angry when we don’t. Please girls, just try to see it from our point of view, and help us see your emotions. There’s nothing more that we would rather do than to help you through troubled times. All you need to do is give us a chance.
