When a guy is sending mixed signals it usually means it's time to move on. Even if he thinks you're cute obviously he thinks the other girl is too and unless you plan on sharing him with her its probably time to let him know your a one man woman.
I think it would be a good idea to just ask him out.
If another boat signals their intention to pass you from astern, you should answer with the same signal if in agreement and maintain course and speed.
Once you see the person is giving you mixed signals, stop and ask "what do you want from me?" And they should tell you. Be up front and tell them how you feel. For example: "Listen, I don't appreciate how you're giving me these mixed signals. Be real with me because I'm sitting here thinking about you, and you're beating around the bush. Either you're on, or you're off." If this person really wants you, they should tell you. Otherwise, show that you're having a good time without him/her. They will soon realize what they were missing and will find you irresistible!

Depending on the definition of "hooking up" he may have just be using you for his own selfish needs but has no intention of a reconciliation.
Proper procedure for using hand held visual distress signal flare
Maintain course and speed to allow the faster boat to pass safely.
