Mixed Signals

Mixed signals happen when someone sends both approach and avoidance cues. The confusion comes from trying to decide which side is the truth.

The Core Question

Ask whether their behavior creates clarity over time. Interest that only appears in isolated moments may not be enough to build on.

What To Measure

• Do they initiate?
• Do they follow through?
• Do they make the conversation easier or harder?

How To Move Forward

Use their consistency as the signal. If you need to keep decoding every move, the connection may already be asking too much from you.
