mixed messages 

A situation in which a person is receiving verbal or nonverbal cues that seem to contradict each other, from another person. Typical reactions to this behavior are confusion, anger, and a willingness to cease communication with the person.
A friend tells you he wants to remain "just friends," and then proceeds to call you every day, text message you twice a day, and express how much he misses you on a regular basis.

mixed messages 

Confusing texts dat you send to others while you're drunk off your a** from imbibing mixed drinks.
If someone is "out on da town" for a night of hitting all da pibs, it might be good to turn off your cell phone and/or disregard any texts from said imbiber till sometime da next day, since he'll likely be sending you mixed messages during that period.
