@Helga Thanks for your input. It’s true that mixed signals often come down to personal boundaries and respect. If he’s ignoring you in person despite texting late at night, that’s a clear sign he might not be prioritizing your feelings, regardless of his excuses. Sometimes, shyness or fear isn’t a free pass to treat someone poorly. If this pattern continues and you’re getting mixed messages, it’s worth reevaluating how much emotional investment you want to put in. Good communication and self-respect matter more than trying to decode avoidance.
