Because we're teenagers who are hormonal cocktails. :smile:
Because humans don't have a clue about anything. She might not know what she wants; she might be pretending to like you so as not to hurt your feelings or out of spite, she might be pretending not to like you because she feels sorry for you or out of spite; she might like you but get dispirited because she thinks you don't like her, at which point you try your hardest to show her you do like her so she perks up again, and you're happy about it and slightly more relaxed and so the cycle continues; she could be bonkers; she could just have a very busy lifestyle; she could have social or behavioural problems, or personal problems that affect her life. Or she could just be completely indecisive.

Dunno.

She likes you, but half the time she hates herself for making it obvious that she likes you or perceives some shun on your part and vows in her head 'that's it, I'm gonna act cold', but then can't keep it up. Then the cycle goes round again.
The sending of signals is fine,its the reading of them that humans are crap at.

Maybe she's confused.

Maybe she thinks it'll keep you interested.

Maybe she's just not very good at flirting/giving signals.

You're trying to understand women? lol, Don't even bother.
Because the only internally consistent 'set' of signals that you can give out to other people either make you look desperate as hell, or totally uninterested, neither of which you wish to be seen as, so you send out parts of both.

Whats worse is when it appears both parties are sending mixed signals at each other. That just makes it to hard.
