For the record, I'm attracted more to women that don't send too many mixed signals. Tolerance is the name of the game. There is no way to get around dealing with the opposite sex. We each have things that we must tolerate. Most importantly, it depends on the level of attraction.

Long periods of time in between communication, one word text messages, and controlling or manipulating behaviors are all deal breakers.

After the date: A simple "thank you" goes a long way! Offering to spend more time together is a plus. Or if she alternates picking up the tab. That goes above and beyond in my eyes.

To answer the last question, yes. If the level of interest is high, there is more room for error. But it is a double-edged sword. Leaving someone that you are truly interested in hanging out on a limb by sending one too many mixed signals is foolish! Chances are they will find someone who doesn't.

This thought crossed my mind while reading my5cents similar thread; do each of us have differing levels of tolerance/sensitivity to mixed signals?

What do you consider mixed signals on or immediately following a date? Is there no room for ambiguity?

The date that seems to go well, yet it takes him a week to contact
me again, or he asks for another date and schedules it for a month later (happened recently.)

What is an example of the kind of behaviour you are looking for on and immediately following a date, to convey straight, clear signals?

A call within 24 hrs of said date, or some communication indicating he enjoyed himself. Don't want to be left guessing does he or doesn't he. The three day rule does not sit well with me.

If you're really stuck on someone are you more willing to abide some mixed signals than if you're only mildly interested?
When I was younger and new to Internet dating possibly, but now that kind of behavior doesn't bode well. It's just an indicator of things to come. There are too many prospects to put up with someone who is lukewarm.
