Curious_lad Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 So I have this female friend and we have been friends for awhile, but recently I texted her and told her I felt like we had a connection and asked her what her feelings were for me. She said that I was a good guy, but she just wanted to remain friends. I texted her and told her the next day that I didn't have any mixed feelings for her and that we can be friends. I am now observing that she doesn't seem to maintain much eye contact with me anymore. E.g. when we are all out with friends, She'll maybe look my way and then quickly look at another friend who is involved in another conversation. She'll keep eye contact when talking to other people, especially my brother, when he jumps into the conversation. It's like she is always finding a way not to talk to me or look at me. She'll kind of ignore me when we are with friends. She will look at me tho when we say our hellos and goodbyes, which is then followed by a brief hug. I just need some help understanding her body language. I don't understand it. She used to talk and keep eye contact with me most of the time before.
iiiii Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 She doesn't want to give any mixed messages. She wants to make it really clear that she doesn't want a relationship with you, and avoid leading you on. Either that, or she's a bit embarrassed by it all, and not quite sure how to relate to you now that she knows you are attracted to her. 2
MissBee Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 It's not really a puzzle. Confessing something like that, especially if the feelings aren't reciprocated, often changes things and makes things awkward. She may feel awkward and unsure of how to act with you knowing you like her as more than a friend, hence her body language. It is most likely not anything she is doing on purpose but is acting this way because she isn't sure how to act now. Give it time...she will either relax and start behaving normally after some time passes or, unfortunately, sometimes such a confession changes things permanently.
