In a relationship that is not clear where it is going, often without realizing it, someone gives false hope to their crush. This can happen through ambiguous attitudes or inconsistent statements. For example, giving extra attention that seems more than just friendship or making promises that are never kept. This, although it seems fun at first, can actually make your crush feel confused and expect more, even though our intentions are actually unclear.
There are some concrete signs that we may be giving false hope without realizing it. For example, we contact our crush too often, but without any clarity about the purpose of the interaction. This creates confusion on the part of the crush, who may start to think that this relationship could be more serious than it really is. When words are not supported by consistent actions, false hope grows.
Worse yet, giving false hope to your crush can be detrimental to both of you. The hardest part of an almost relationship is false hope. When those hopes are not realized, there will be feelings of hurt and regret, both on the part of the giver of false hope and the one on the receiving end. This is a cycle that can be avoided if communication is more open and clear from the start.
