If i can tell a guy is looking at me but i'm not interested, i will avoid making eye contact. No offense but unless you were looking at them and attracted to them, i doubt you would notice they were doing that. there are probably women you find unattractive who also may avoid eye contact but you dont notice it because you aren't noticing them.
women do this because a lot of the time when you make eye contact with a guy and he is interested in you, he will often approach so this is a way of avoiding that.
What Girls Said
I only avoid eye contact if I get the vibe it would do more harm then good. Normally I always make eye contact with everyone and give them a friendly head nod. I read eye contact is important when it comes to potential violence on the street. If people think you would be able to identify them they are less likely to attack you. I also don't listen to music while walking or running or play on my phone for the same reason. I don't make eye contact long if it's in passing or I am super uncomfortable and I try to stay pleasant but talk as little as possible.
I'm always nice to people soo if I'm talking with a guy and i start to think that maaaaybe I'm being to kind like He could be getting a wrong signal than I avoid eye contact and keep the conversation more blunt... :D hehehehe
It may not be cause they r not attracted. If i were at the gym, alone, doing my stuff, id be very anxious if people look at me. So i would even hide from their gaze.
So this is another alternativeI'm usually busy or interested in something else when they approach me but I don't want to be rude so I make limited eye contact because I really want to get back to that other thing. If the guy keeps coming around and it's obvious he's interested but I'm not, I look at him less and less and less and make it evident in my body language that I don't want to talk to him. So far my strategy doesn't work.
I do it sometimes because a guy makes me nervous or I really like him.
I do it other times because I don't want a guy to think I like him. Like sometimes at the gym I accidentally catch someone's eye and I look away right away... it happens so much at the gym because there's no where to look and people all over the place.If I see someone trying to make eye contact with me I will return it and smile. I get a lot of people staring at because of the wheelchair so I sometimes return the stare until they look away or smile at them or even raise my eyebrows at them
I just don't like being seen in general. I pretend to be on my phone, including texting myself so I look busy...
i don't avoid eye contact. however, i do not smile at any of my male customers anymore because the last time i did, i got more than one stalker on my doorstep. it wasn't fun.
The fun is in staring a guy down to tell him to back off. Staring someone in the eyes for a full minute with a foreboding facial expression is best
I avoid talking too and making eye contact with guys that stare at my chest.
