    He might be shy and maybe changed his mind. It happens when we guys are nervous

    Well, maybe they don't like your answer, or even the sound of your voice. Just a suggestion. Guys are great at knowing in an instant whether or not they want to continue with a woman.
    Guys sometimes do send mixed messages but some women misunderstand messages too. When we want someone to like us we can sometimes hear or see what we want to hear and see, even if it's not there and it is not what is said.
    When men do send mixed messages, it is because they are torn for one reason or another. They may not want a relationship or even to have anything to do with a certain woman, but may find she is easy to do what he wants with her, so he hangs around for that reason..this may seem like mixed messages.

    Though many won't turn you down, men usually don't want a relationship with someone who is little or no challenge, and don't respect those who sleep with then too soon.

    Everyone sends everyone mixed messages. I've never met anyone yet in my life who was 100% clear and consistent with their messages every single day.

    If he wants to talk to you, then he will talk. If he's busy then he's going to not talk to you for awhile.

    1. He may not of liked your answer
    2. He might just be busy
    3. He's annoyed?
    4. He probably is thinking of what to say back where he makes a point or doesn't sound like a complete ass.
    or 5. He just doesn't want to talk?

    Girls think way to much into things, it's in our DNA we can't help it. I overly analyze everything, but that makes us stronger with a connection to people because you really understand them and critical think. However, if he's not talking to you I wouldn't stress it, what happens, happens and whats meant to be will be. If he doesn't want to talk to you, then you shouldn't want to talk to him.

    The reason most men seem like they are sending mixed messages is fear of rejection.

    I believe that guys give mixed messages because they do not like to be  figured out.

    Guys don't behave the way they did when they were after your mother, so much of the advice she'll give you is probably less than useful. The difference between men in the 60's and men today is that men in the 60's built bridges and went to war because it needed to get done. These days, men argue about over whether Batman is a superhero until their late into their 40's. I'm not saying that every man today is a child, but that's where we are headed. The insecurities that men have today aren't the same as they were as little as ten years ago. If you want a guy who doesn't give you mixed signals, find one who knows what he likes to do with his life because he spent his teens figuring that out rather than playing video games.
    But really, I agree with most of the people here. If a guy seems disinterested, they're more likely being shy than being arrogant. Most dudes struggle with this until they realize why girls respond to them negatively.

    Guys that are doing that are trying to9 keep their options open becuse they believe the grass is greener on the other side! But when they get there they realize they were wrong and then try and come back into your life.

    However if you let him back in he will again look across that fence to see if its greener over there!

    Move on to a good guy that knows what he wants and that is you!!!!

    It may be that the guy isn't aware that he is sending any message at all. Sometimes we read far too much into the way a person behaves and the things that they say.  If a guy discontinues a conversation with you then his interests may lie elsewhere. If this is happening to you all the time then maybe you should look closer to home for your answers.

    Have you felt emotional touch with him knowingly or unknowingly.I think he falls in love with you.

    My mother told me once "men think with their minds while women think with their hearts". It could often lead to miscommunication if you are interpreting a message with your emotions when it's meant to be literal. Men understanding woman's feelings and woman understanding men's message clearly would make for a better understanding between the sexes.

    They don't. Be careful when speaking in absolutes. IE- "always" "never" "completely" etc..
