writes:When a man is interested in you would he keep looking at his watch? Would he say that he dates "alot"( which is not a problem) I am not looking for anything serious and neither is he. He says he likes me and we have great chemistry, but he is consitantly giving me mixed signals. I just got out of a 7 year marriage, and i am new to the dating scene. I am a very confident woman and have been told extremely attractive. I dont want to waste my time with someone who i feel is playing games. I was very honest with him and said that we can stay friends etc.. he said right away that -- no lets see what happens, dont rule anything out. I will not play games, and i think i have been very strong about that. We went out last night and he said he had to leave by 8. Not a problem with me, but then as the night progressed he did not want to leave me and kept staying until i said you should get going.- long and short- why the mixed signals? Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (15 July 2009): I was once with a 'date' and she kept looking at her watch. However, prior to our 'date', I knew she had another commitment for that evening, but she also wanted to meet up with me. As the night went on, she eventually just stayed with me instead of fulfilling her other commitment.
My thought on that was she was genuinely interested in me, but at the same time, she had another commitment to tend to. I would not think of it as a "mixed signal". However, not everyone can accept such a query. Ultimately, if you prefer a man to give you his attention, you can either 1) tell him in a friendly gentler way that him looking at his watch so much is making you feel undesirable or 2) meet with him less or not meet him again in the future.
To me, a "mixed signal" would be if he said one thing and acted out another. This scenario you have told everyone is hardly called a "mixed signal". An example of a "mixed signal" would be:
-He tells you he adores you and loves talking with you, but spends most of the night checking out other women and flirting with the waitress.
