4 reasons people give mixed signals in relationships

By M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.

I like you today, I hate you tomorrow

Why do some people send mixed signals?
Why would someone treat you nicely one day then ignore you the other day?
How many times you believed someone likes you because of his actions only to think of the opposite scenario when he changes his way?

In my previous article Why are some people players i explained how the insecurities some people have force them to seek reassurance by hunting down innocent victims. I

n this article i am not talking about players who give positive signals just to make sure people can still fall for them but i am talking about normal people who send positive signals then withdraw them back.

4 reasons Why people sometimes give mixed signals

Here are the most famous reasons that motivate people to send mixed signals:

  • 1) Hurt Ego: In 90% of the cases people who send positive signals and never get an equivalent response withdraw back these signals by doing negative actions. Because a person's ego hurts him when he becomes overly nice then gets no response he tries to make himself look good by taking actions that show that he never had interest. The stronger the negative actions coming from the person the more its a proof that he was really interested (see How to know if someone likes you)
  • 2) Can't make up the mind : Many people can't control the temptation to flirt when they like someone. If someone is confused between two people then he might flirt with both just because he is truly attracted to both of them
  • 3) Commitment Phobia: So many people who fear commitment fail to resist the urge to come close to the people they like but as soon as they come close enough they freak out and pull back. Commitment freaks always have an inner conflict because of those two powerful forces that control their desires and that's why they do both positive and negative moves
  • 4)Lost interest: It happens a lot that someone develops an interest in certain person then loses it after sometime. The good news i have for you is that even if someone lost interest you can still attract him again since you already met his unconscious love criteria. (for more information see Love Psychology)

What should i do when i get mixed signals?

The best thing you can do when you get mixed signals from someone is to keep treating that person positively while making remarks that show him that you believe that he doesn't like you.

When you make a person think that his positive signals never reached you he will send more positive ones and make more mistakes that would reveal his real intentions. Of course you should never say so directly but you just need to take the actions that show that person that you are not even aware of the positive gestures he makes.

Soon that person will try to resend these positive messages and you will get a clear understanding of what's going on.
