Mixed Signals Decoder

Someone is sending me completely mixed signals and I cannot work out where I stand.

What they do that suggests they're interested: [LIST — e.g. texts first, makes plans, says nice things]
What they do that suggests they're not: [LIST — e.g. goes cold, cancels, doesn't follow through]
How long this has been going on: [TIME]
The most recent confusing thing they did: [DESCRIBE one specific example]

Decode this for me honestly:
1. **What this pattern most likely means** — the realistic read, not the hopeful one
2. **The difference between genuinely mixed signals and someone who knows exactly what they're doing** — how to tell
3. **The one question to ask them** that will get clarity without feeling like an ultimatum
4. **How to read their answer** — what different responses actually mean
5. **If they can't or won't give you clarity** — what that itself tells you
6. **How to stop analysing every message** — the decision framework to apply so you can move either way
