Confusion reigns, but never indifference. Perhaps the Bearer cannot discern the Receiver’s feelings, and seeks to know more; or perhaps genuine confusion about their motives and character provides occasion for the gift. Whatever the reason, this is never an admission of defeat, and requests the Receiver to be clear and forthright.

Reply in like form is rarely the end of the story, but Receivers can accept the Bearer’s confusion with I understand or an almost dismissive Keep calm & carry on, indicate positive or romantic feelings with I've never felt this way before, articulate troubled or negative emotions with Is this the end? or Despair, tease with Better luck next time, promise for the future with Patience, and make a potentially confusing situation clear with Let's be friends, You're not my type or a tempting Kiss me, you fool!.
