The situation is following: two female friends seemingly equally attractive accidentally meet a mutual acquaintance (a guy) that they haven't seen for sometime and have a little chat. They went to high school together so now they're discussing their studying in universities (in case you're wondering). But throughout the whole conversation the guy is only looking in the eyes of one of the girls and is never looking at the other. What can the reasons be? This seems a little confusing to me. I'd really appreciate detailed and insightful answers :)
Update: By "equally attractive" I meant simply that there doesn't seem to be a huge difference, not like one of the girls is super hot and the other is ugly. And like I said it happened more than once and with different guys, so I guess it has to do with looks.

You usually in uncomfortable situations its sometimes easier to stare at the person your more familiar with. He could also fell guilty for something and is avoiding eye contact. These two are probably the best answers unless there is more to the story. Did you two go,have problems, etc.
Hmm I guess the first answer makes perfect sense. In most cases (if not all of them) guys did that to me when they knew my friend and didn't know me at all. Surprisingly it didn't occur to me they might just be uncomfortable and find it hard to look at a new girl. Thanks! - 4 months ago
Oh, also, "attractiveness" can only be measured by oneself, so what you call "equally attractive" he may see as something WAY different. Some small things about how a person looks can completely change what someone thinks.
And also, if you really want to know more, you should ask the other girl what she thinks. Maybe she and him had one of those "omg I like her/him" moments. - 6 months ago
Question Asker
The first three points were a little confusing. So which is more likely: that the girl he is not looking at is more attractive to him or less attractive? I'm not really over analyzing it just happened a couple of times with different people and the same girls (me and my friend) so I was wondering what is it supposed to mean. I was confused and thinking why the hell is he not looking at me, am I so ugly or what? - 6 months ago

I couldn't honestly tell you which one it is because I'd have to be there when it happened to possibly know why. There could be a number of factors, including the possibility you have horrible social graces. The most anyone could do short of watching you talk to other people is maybe look at a picture of you and your friend, but like I said, attractiveness could very well have nothing to do with this. - 6 months ago
Question Asker
*surprised* I don't really think there's anything wrong with _my_ social graces. I was responding to a guy in a friendly manner just like my friend. Another time it happened it was with a guy my friend knew and I didn't so they were making small talk and I was just standing there cause it would be stupid to intrude, the weird thing he avoided looking at me at all. I guess you misunderstood the question completely. It's not that they forget to look at me, it looks like they avoid it on purpose. - 6 months ago

Wait a second.
If this was a chance for you to meet someone new and you didn't speak up, isn't that the reason why he didn't talk to you? (aside from him already knowing the other girl and being comfortable with her). He might've thought, "Oh she's not talking to me so I won't force her to say anything"
They could very well have been waiting for you to say something but you didn't so they left you alone. And if this isn't the case it could just be he didn't like hanging out with you. - 6 months ago

Forget about it. You keep misunderstanding. - 6 months ago
