for some reason it strikes me as dishonest (belongs to the passive-aggresive personality, perhaps?) even if i do seem like i seem coy. did that make sense?

I'm either coy, or clueless, I'm not sure which.

I used to be just clueless, but now I'm coy too. But it's not intended to be dishonest, and I don't try to mess with people's heads. I AM terribly indecisive sometimes, usually because I have this sense that I should be doing something that I've forgotten, or that if I make a committment, it will be impulsive and I will regret it later.

makes it hard to make plans , coy people sometimes vacillate which can be very irritating ,drives me away quick when I encounter this
