Overview
The creator delivers a monologue from his car, expressing his irritation with mixed signals in dating. He contrasts a person's behavior from one day to the next—from being highly engaged and affectionate to being distant and formal via text. He refutes the excuse of being 'bad at texting' and highlights the confusion when in-person interactions are great but digital communication is cold, concluding with a plea for directness and clarity.

Mixed signals irritate me like do you want this or not
Transcript
Mixed signals irritate me. Like, do you want this or not? You know? Because I generally don't have the energy to be solving riddles in my romantic life anymore. Okay? One day you're texting me good morning, asking me about my day, telling me you miss me. The next day you're responding like I'm I'm I'm a customer who contacted you outside business hours. Like, yesterday, I was your favorite person. Today, apparently, no notification you're you're considering clearing. Like... And I love when people say, oh, I'm just bad at texting. Really? Because you were incredible at it last Tuesday. What happened? Did did your thumbs resign? And and then we hang out. Everything is amazing again. Like, you're affectionate. You're you're making future plans. You're acting like we're we're two episodes away from getting engaged. Then I go home and suddenly I'm communicating with a government agency again. Like, hey. Hi. How was your day? Good. Like, thank you for your cooperation. And and the worst part is when you finally ask what's going on. Like, oh, what do you mean? I like you. Okay. Well, then why am I conducting a weekly investigation into whether that's still true? I should have need screenshots, a timeline, and three friends reviewing the evidence to figure out if someone's interested in me. Okay? And please don't tell me... Best go with the flow. Where is the flow going? Because from what I can tell, we're just circling the same parking lot. Okay? If you like me, act like it. If you don't, that's completely fine too. I'm a grown man. I can handle rejection. What I don't wanna do is spend six weeks emotionally invested in someone who's treating basic communication like a limited time promotional offer. Okay? I'm not asking you to to plan our wedding. I'm asking whether I should keep your number or start referring to you as a as a learning experience.
