Andy890 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I hope someone could help me out on this. The other day I was asking one girl something, and she started looking down and avoiding eye contact, but I noticed a smile appear on her face after she looked down. Could that mean that she was interested in me, but she was too shy to look in the eyes and smile?
january2011 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Not sure about interest, but I'd definitely go with her being shy. Especially if she's young and/or belongs to certain cultures where direct eye contact is considered rude and confrontational.

Don't know her exact age, she looks around 30, but I have seen this a few times when talking to her.
RachR Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) I'd say yes, this could definitely mean she is interested but shy. She could also find you intimidating. Has she given you any other signs of interest? Edited October 14, 2012 by RachR
HeldbyGravity Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Another vote here on shyness- because I'm shy, and that's something I would definitely do.
Pompom Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 When I do that, it's usually because I can relate to something that he is telling me, but don't want to interrupt (or share what I'm thinking).
bad username Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) She's shy and if she's done this a few times yes she's interested. Go forth and conquer. Edited October 14, 2012 by bad username baaahd spelling
Author Andy890 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 She could also find you intimidating. Intimidating in the sense that I am making her shy or in the sense that I am scaring her? Could the reason for that be that I am confident about what I am doing? I would like to add that I'm not being rude or anything, just asking her politely. Has she given you any other signs of interest? I have noticed that when I ask her something that is not concerned with her work, she does not answer immediately, but after a second or two (as if she was thinking how to reply). That is when she usually looks down first and starts smiling. Her replies are short though.
RachR Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Intimidating in the sense that I am making her shy or in the sense that I am scaring her? Intimidating in the sense that you are making her shy.

HeldbyGravity Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Is this a way you would show interest? This is a way that I would try to make up for avoiding his eyes, by smiling a little or laughing. Shows you are still paying attention, are still happy with them- you just can't look them in the eye at the moment.
Oxy Moronovich Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 This chick seems passive-aggressive. Passive-aggressive women can frustrate you to no end. You might wanna steer clear of her.

Could shyness be the reason for you not wanting to share what you are thinking at the moment? Or is it because you wouldn't be interested in what the other person is saying and just find it funny that he's trying to pick you up?
oaks Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Don't over-analyse this. Just suppose that she's interested. If you're interested then act on that until clearer signs emerge.
