Why would a guy who gives you strong interest signals tell you to use dating apps?

Typically he wouldn't. Maybe you are interpreting these signals as signals of interest when they actually aren't. Not all of us see things the same way and what you want to be a signal might not be or he did it unintentionally. If he was really that interested then why would he want you seeking other guys and potentially torpedoing his chances with you? That doesn't make any sense. So my first guess at what is going on is they aren't actually signals other than to you. My second guess is that maybe he is trying to feel you out and if you like him. It is a passive way of doing it. He says why don't you use dating apps and then you say I don't want to meaning he gained a little knowledge that you might have a thing for him. Kinda a stupid game but it is possible that is what is happening.

I didn't want to make anything from his signals but after a while it made sense and turned other people's head.

If you are sure they were signals of interest then it could be the second thing I mentioned.
