why do "some" men send mixed signals?

Folks need to be more honest about how they feel about folks nowadays!

LOL. I'm sure men are asking the same thing about women.

its because they don't know if they want you yet, or at all...aka, they don't know what they want. People like that are terrible to date! stay away!

Mixed signals are either game playing (the "push and pull" is very enticing to the subconscious. . . it makes you think "but he/she was interested in me yesterday. . . what's going on?") or the other person just not being that interested.

In high school, I analyzed mixed signals until I could have written a dissertation on every little word, text, and glance. Then, I realized that all analyzing and wondering about mixed signals will do is make you very frustrated, confused, and upset. So, I stopped and I am for the better.

Discredit mixed signals. They're wishy-washy fluff and most people send out mixed signals without even realizing it.

I agree, it's one of two things:

1. He's playing a game, and it's working. You're a woman, so if he just came out right away and told you how he felt about you, it would be a major turn off for you, trust me, especially if you were on the fence about him, then you'd probably lose him. But by being shady and playing games, it's making you think and wonder about him, thus you are building interest in him, eventhough you think this is negatively impacting how you feel, it's not, it's only making it stronger.

2. He can't decide if he likes you, or he just likes the idea of having you if he wants you. Depends on how long you've known him/dating him, but if it's early, then give him time to play his little game. If he's still doing this months later then toss him aside.

sometimes someone thinks the signals are mixed but they really just suck at reading signals.

I love sending mixed signals. I don't always know I'm doing it but it doesn't stop me from enjoying it. I think I'm a tease. =(

Some people intentionally send mixed signals to manipulate the other person...

But other times, what you perceive as mixed signals is really just because the other person doesn't know how they feel about you. And their feelings can legitimately change.

Would you prefer a guy send consistent signals that he was interested when he truly didn't know you or had doubts about whether he wanted a serious relationship? That's emotionally dishonest.
