What is the purpose of sending mixed signals?

Question

Why do SOME women do this? I'm about to walk away from someone I really love because she won't tell me what she wants. Whenever I ask it's either "I dunno", "maybe" or sometimes nothing at all but then she can tell me without a doubt that she loves me and misses me. She's even agreed to have dinner with me since our 2 1/2 month split. Maybe I'm just too simplistic...either you want it to work or you don't. What is so complicated about this? I love her but I don't know whether to hang on (not knowing what her truest intentions are) or just walk away because I can't make any sense of this.

Answer 1

to confuse the bejeezus out of you

Answer 2

she doesn't know what she wants. She probably feels like you're putting a lot of pressure on her to figure things out now, she doesn't want to say no to you because she's afraid that she would be making a huge mistake, but she is also afraid to say yes because she may think that there is someone better out there for her than you. You need to make the decision either to wait for her to figure things out, which may  or may not end up hurting you. Or to move on with your life and say goodbye to her.  

Answer 3

Don't ever ask a woman "what do you want " you are supposed to know what she wants LOL.

Ask her more specific questions like will you marry me or would you enjoy .... or would you like to  ..... or why don't we....or lets....
