Why might a guy give out mixed signals?

Question - (14 November 2014) 1 Answers - (Newest, 15 November 2014)
A female age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Why the mixed signals? I like a guy who is shy but with a very hyper masculine persona. He isn't much of a conversationalist and is quite to the point as a person.

What I've perceived to be him maybe liking me: Looks at me a lot, gets a bit too close, does me little favours to help me, lots of eye contact.

But, He doesn't talk much at all, only if necessary.

If we're online, he only talks to me to ask me for specific information about work or something and leaves the conversation at a dead end. In person, he has previously asked me about my music taste and studies etc. but quite a while ago. Sometimes he makes more of an effort to talk and sometimes doesn't.

He sometimes acts indifferent and sometimes acts more like he could be interested. He is never really mean. He just is either indifferent, or displays what I think are signs that he is interested.

Why might he be doing this?

A female reader, RubyBirtle United Kingdom +, writes (15 November 2014):

I generally find that if a guy is genuinely interested in you (in THAT way) he doesn't "blow hot and cold" or "give out mixed signals". The signals remain constant and consistent.

Maintaining eye contact, chatting, doing favours etc CAN be signs of attraction but they're also signs of friendliness and politeness as well. And the fact that doesn't always make the effort and is indifferent at times makes it sound like he simply wants a cordial friendship with you for the workplace rather than anything else.

I could be wrong. Maybe he's just excruciatingly shy but it doesn't sound like it.
