I am confused about mixed signals a man is sending to me. From day one he has been flirty and open about his vulnerabilities to me, yet when I do the same he backs away.
He acts cutesy towards me yet when I do the same he seems aggravated. He doesn't seem to take my reciprocation well. I almost feel like I'm being subjected to a double standard in that when I expose a hole in my confidence, he seems taken back.
Certain types of men love macho attitude. So disclosing too much of yourself early on can have negative side effects as you have witnessed.
It might be the case that he was raised in a very masculine family environment. An environment whereby men are men in that they are tough, do not show any weaknesses and they just plow ahead no matter what setbacks befalls them.
In that it sounds like that he prefers vulnerable type of women you may have some compatibility issues to contend with if you do get together with him. To this extent you probably want to look for someone who is a bit more understanding to your cause.
I must emphasize the need to refrain from disclosing too much of yourself early on in a relationship. There is a time and place for that later on but at the beginning you do not want to sound needy. Try to put your best foot forward when next you meet someone.
Bottom line: Sometimes men, who are extremely attractive and popular, flirt with those women who set them on pedestals. If these subordinates continue to follow the song of the siren, the rocky coast eventually crushes them. Other hints: well you'll discover yourself as the story continues in e-books.
If the flirtation is over during your advances consider it just an innocent flirtation. Move on and abort the mission. Look for other fish elsewhere. To continue is your doom. For more tips about reading flirtatious signs, refer to e-books in series “ Relationships: Puzzles and Answers ” :
