wb1988 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) A girl that I kinda like whipped out her mirror from her bag, checked her makeup and then applied lip gloss as soon as I sat next to her — this is something that a few other girls have done in the past. She's an old friend of a friend and was sitting with a few of my friends at Costas. When I sat next to her to join in the conversation she looked at me, talked for a few seconds and then did the mirror & lipgloss thing. I only had 10 minutes free so I had to leave early. Do you guys think that she did it because she wants to make sure that she looks good in front of me (signal of interest), or does it mean nothing? i wanted to ask my friends what they thought but I think 2 of them are into her as well. I'm getting pretty mixed signals from her. She invited me to her birthday party (only about 15 people are coming) even though we've only exchanged a few sentences but at the same time gave me a blank look when I mentioned that a gay guy hit on me and rubbed his hand down my shirt when I was waiting for my coffee (I was expecting a laugh).

mammasita Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Probably means nothing and her lips were dry. I wouldn't read into THAT /\ as a sign of anything. Why don't you try to speak with her more to gauge her interest and perhaps ask her out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Omei Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Its something a lot of girls do. Don't take it as a signal we like to look good in general for ourselves. My best friend is a guy and ive put lipstick on in his presence before. It means nothing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It means nothing but... If I had to read a meaning into it I would say she sees you as a friend. If I liked a man 'that way' I would head to the washroom to fix my make-up, noway I would pull out a mirror and do it in front of him but that's just me. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
CarrieT Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm getting pretty mixed signals from her. It is not a signal. It is what girls do regardless if they are with a guy or not. Link to post Share on other sites
rocketman122 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 the amount of thought and energy people put into nothing is ridiculous. youre just one of the girls in her eyes if she did it in front of you. girls go to the WC to fix themselves up if they were interested. to adjust their clothing and do that in front of a big mirror. no girl did that in front of me..EVER! youve been friendzoned.

acrosstheuniverse Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It really could mean anything, or nothing. There are some schools of thought that think women doing that in front of a guy are sending signals they want him to find her attractive... in a, 'notice the sort of effort I've done to' kinda way. Other people think that if she liked a guy romantically she'd have gone and done it in private in case she shattered the illusion she always looks perfect. There are people who say female CEOs or high powered staff should never adjust their hair or makeup in the board room or in front of other colleagues, as it detracts from their masculine, powerful energy and makes them look like an airhead more concerned with her appearance, they say you should do all preening behind closed doors so that you appear immaculate, if you want to, but nobody ever sees you actually doing lip gloss, checking your eyeliner, adjusting your hair, spritzing your perfume. For me though, it's a bit of a flirty thing. It's a very feminine, preening thing to do, if I wanted a guy to notice I was looking extra pretty with makeup I might do it in front of him without even thinking, to kinda highlight the effort I've gone to with my appearance. I probably wouldn't bother to put lip gloss on when just hanging around with a male friend but some women wear it religiously anyway. Anyway... you can't read anything into it unless you have other stuff to go on too. Reading that far into someone putting lip gloss on (was it lip gloss? Lip balm might be more neutral if she has uncomfortable dry lips... lip gloss screams glamour to me!) is silly. If you like her, ask her out on a date for god's sake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately your post makes the most sense. Now that I think of it, I've never hooked up with a girl that checked her makeup or adjusted her clothing in front of me, they always did it in the WC or upstairs. I'm 26, she's 34 so it's probably for the best Link to post Share on other sites
WomenWubber Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 "Do you guys think that she did it because she wants to make sure that she looks good in front of me (signal of interest), or does it mean nothing?" On the contrary. If she does it in front of you, it means she's interested in someone else and doesn't care if you're looking at her while getting dolled up for her guy. Sorry.

carhill Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 IME, women who do such things in front of a particular man generally have low sexual interest in him. It's comfortable and casual and she can 'be herself' like he doesn't exist in the male sexual way. It's part of the 'brother zone'. Experienced it many times over the decades and read it wrong for awhile. Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Doesn't mean anything. Means her lips were chapped. Means she in general wants to keep her makeup on neat for the world at large. I reapply lip gloss when I'm at dinner with my sister, more than once. Link to post Share on other sites

I do it in front of my female friends and my daughter, but I would never do it in front of a man I am hoping to seduce. Link to post Share on other sites
