He Isn’t Ready for a Real Relationship
If he likes you, but isn't ready for a relationship with you, then he's sending mixed signals in order to put distance between the two of you. That way, he won't have an opportunity to move forward with you. Even though he genuinely likes you, his fear of commitment is holding him back from making a move.
He might shower you with attention one day and then go cold the next. This confusing behavior often stems from an underlying ambiguity about what he wants—or can handle emotionally. It's not uncommon for someone to enjoy the companionship and excitement that come with early stages of dating, yet balk at the deeper commitment and vulnerability required in a serious relationship. If you're facing this predicament, understand that his hesitancy isn't a reflection on you. It's about his own internal conflicts and inability to commit at this time in his life.

He Isn’t Interested in Dating You
Some men enjoy flirting for the fun of it. They don't actually intend for it to lead anywhere. If he isn't interested in dating you, then he probably doesn't even realize that he's been ignoring you. He'll have other things on his mind.
It is important to remember that not all men are the same. Some may enjoy flirting with no intention of taking it further, while others may be genuinely interested in getting to know you better. If he is sending you mixed signals, it could be because he is trying to figure out how he feels about you. He may be shy, or he may be uncertain about whether he wants to take the relationship further. He may also be testing the waters to see if you are interested in him. It is important to remember to take your time and not rush into a relationship. Talk to him and get to know him better before making any decisions.

He Doesn’t Want to Hurt You
Some men consider themselves dangerous. If he thinks that he'd be a horrible boyfriend, then he might be keeping his distance in order to protect you. He doesn't want to break your heart, so he's doing the only thing he can come up with--leaving your life before he has the opportunity to hurt you.
This type of behavior is common in men who have experienced heartbreak in the past. They may be afraid of getting too close and then having to deal with the pain of the relationship ending. Additionally, he may be trying to protect himself from getting hurt, by keeping his distance and not allowing himself to get too attached. He may also be trying to protect his ego by not putting himself in a vulnerable position. He may be sending mixed signals because he is trying to figure out if the relationship is worth investing in or if it will end in heartbreak.

He’s Keeping His Options Open
It's possible to have crushes on multiple people at once. If he likes a few other girls, then he won't want to spend too much time talking to you, because he'll want to see what his other options are. He'd rather wait to commit until he knows which lady he really wants to date.
He's sending you mixed signals because he likes you, but he's not sure if you're the one for him. He's keeping his options open to explore other possibilities. He may be afraid of getting too close to you and risking being hurt if it doesn't work out. He may also be afraid of making a commitment and being tied down. He may be testing the waters to see if you're worth investing his time and energy in. Whatever the reason, he's sending you mixed signals because he's not sure about the relationship.

He Already Has a Girlfriend
Even though you think he's single, he might actually be in a relationship. If that's the case, then it'll be hard for him to contact you frequently, because his girlfriend will be watching his every move. So if he's not answering you back, he might be busy with his real girlfriend.
If he's sending you mixed signals, it could be for a variety of reasons. One possibility is that he already has a girlfriend. If that's the case, then he may not be able to contact you as frequently, as his girlfriend may be keeping an eye on him. He may also be sending mixed signals because he's not sure how he feels about you, or he may be trying to keep you at a distance. It's also possible that he's just not that into you, or he's seeing other people. Whatever the case may be, it's important to remember that you deserve someone who is willing to commit to you and make you feel special.

Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with.
He Just Wants Attention
Some men just want attention. The only reason why he was flirting with you was so he could feel better about himself. Your words gave him the boost in confidence that he needed. After he got what he wanted from you, there was no reason to continue the conversation.
It's important to remember that some men may be sending mixed signals because they're not sure if they're ready for a relationship or if they're just looking for attention. It's possible that they're trying to gauge your interest before making a move. If they're flirting with you and then suddenly stop, it could be because they're scared of rejection or because they've achieved the attention they were looking for. It's important to be aware of these signs and not jump to conclusions. It's possible that he's just looking for a little validation and not necessarily looking for a relationship.

He Doesn’t Even Know What He Wants from You
He might be just as confused as you are. Some men aren't sure when they like a girl, when they just want to sleep with her, and when they'd rather be friends with her. If he can't figure out how he feels about you, then he's not going to know how to act around you. That means he might be flirty one day and distant the next.
Mixed signals are confusing, but there's always a reason behind them. That's why you should take the time to sit down and really think about your relationship with your crush. You'll probably be able to figure out which one of these reasons is the cause of his actions. Has a man been sending you mixed signals lately?
