Guys, do you ever on purpose, look down after seeing a girl?

[Anonymous]

If you do look down after seeing a girl on purpose, then why do you do it?

Thanks for the answers.
It seems like you look down when you see a girl because you are shy/nervous and you don't want the girl to notice you.
Could you answer this question:

The question is: Do you also look down at times, when you see a girl because you don't want to see her face and because you don't want the girl to get the wrong impression about you such as you liking her when that is not the case? Hope that made sense.

There are many reasons why a guy would look down when he sees a girl.

If he's shy, it's because he can't stand eye contact, because he feels vulnerable.

It could be a nervous reaction.

He could feel that he isn't worthy of looking directly at the girl.

And if he is looking down he's probably looking at his feet trying to think of something to say.

So yes guys do look down when they see a girl.

A nervous reaction? Like how? Why? Does that mean he likes her more? Or what?

[Shortstuff1980]

For me when I do this it's more cause I don't feel worthy of of our eyes connecting. Even if I 💯% knew she liked me.

[ILoveBigTitties]

@thumbelinasplace01 Like?

Because I am shy and I don't want her to think I noticed her because she might talk to me then and that would be really bad because of my shyness.

[doctorwhofan23]

I do look down when I see a girl sometimes but I do that when I like her sometimes too because I am a shy guy and I don't really want her to notice me.

I had a guy do this to me. He said hi as he was coming toward me, but then looked down and looked like he started biting his lip as we passed. What does that mean? He knows I like him, btw.

This part is to original question asker, 'so now that it has been a year, what happened?'

It's a good thing in a way. You are attractive to them and they are a bit insecure. Believe me, if you are off in the distance, they may actually be staring at you. It is safe for us to stare at a distance, but it is frowned upon if caught (that's ogling, after all, and can make a woman feel uncomfortable - like a piece of meat), so, to avoid continuing to ogle (and not stare at boobs) when the woman is near us or talking to us, we might look down or away. It's a form of self-discipline so as not to be an animal and sexually molest you. When we are older and have better self-discipline, we will talk directly with you face-to-face more often.

Most women I know want to be ogled... feminazis and bitter misogynists have ruined the art of organic flirting and have created an entire generation of bitter men and women. Being nice or flirting with a beautiful woman is now considered bad (simping). It's really sad actually. Many women have the love language of affirmation, flirting, or getting ogled. When a guy doesn't do those things most women will think the guy absolutely isn't into them and often times it brings their self esteem down. A majority of women disagree with the metoo movement but you won't hear their voices because they aren't as loud and annoying. #dontgeneralize

[Binary_Illusion]

As stated before. We look down because if you see us looking at you that is a sign of interest. Yes we might be interested, but then you might talk to us. And we have no idea what to say.

When your shy, you have a really bad time talking to girls, or even looking into their eyes. We do look at you, but we don't want you to know we look at you.

[PuckCarrier84]

yea I'm shy too I do the same thing, once I get the eye contact especially if its a girl I'm attracted and don't know immediate look down, girls gotta get better reads on us, if we look down its cause we don't want you to know were checking you out and we don't want you to reject us! ok!

[lightbulb27]

There is a 3 second rule. look more than 3 seconds, and it is creepy invasion for the girl. Guys who are shy will look away because they aren't ready and don't know what to do. Often, I'd say the more a shy guy avoids the more stimulated he was.

Might look away to avoid freaking her out, or because doesn't know what to say. It took me lot of time and practice to develop confidence and is continual effort at times.

[Funeral_Fog]

I don't look down, ever. I'll break eye contact, typically not immediately though, but it's mostly because locking eyes with someone for more than a couple seconds without having some reason for it can be kind of akward.

Looking down is typically an indicator of shame or nervousness.

[Dizzle420]

been said, but its being shy or a nervous reaction, sometimes I look down sometimes I dont, I usually don't want the girl to think I'm a creep or have a staring problem so ill look away, but sometimes I don't care.

[Littletad]

Sometimes I get shy and caught off guard. Therefore I look down and sometimes play with pebbles on the ground.

(note the sarcasm)

[Kiet_Ngu]

no I just look straight forward

and if she caught me look at her

then I don't know I wouldn't really care lol

[Buckzor]

I do it when I get nervous to avoid eye contact (whether that's just not wanting to talk to them, or it's nerve based) - either way it's to get away from the social aspect of that person for one reason or another

[Goran_]

I usually look down randomly for no reason and when I look back up I make eye contact with someone on accident. They may be doing it because they were looking at you and thought you noticed, or they could be doing it for no reason at all.

[FrozenDonkeyWheel]

If I look down when I see a girl it's usually because I like her and I don't want her to see me looking at her. It's irrational, I know, but that's the reason.

[Asker]

Thanks for the answer!!!

Please also answer this question. If you fancy a girl and you don't want her to know then will you not really look at the girl (maybe just glance at her once) if she is in your presence?

[FrozenDonkeyWheel]

You mean like if we're talking? Or just if she's sitting near me?

If we're talking, I usually alternate between making eye contact with her and kind of trying to not look at her, or something.

If she's just sitting near me, I often glance at her and then divert my eyes.

[ryuker89]

yes because I get shy and I don't want the girl to think I have a staring problem or anything

[Bolarinwa]

I do look down on girls, but I'm far from being shy, i like girls with pretty legs and also have a nice walking step, I kinda like the fact of her having the thought that I'm checking her out... The fact is girls like it we a cute guy looks her up and down then smirk, I think they find it sexy...

[Jai_Guru_Deva_Om]

The answer is yes, I do what you described about preventing wrong impression of liking the girl that I don't find attracting.

And sometimes of cause it's about being shy. You realize that we all have different level of sexual power and when her level is way more than mine, I don't want to make meaningful eye contact to look funny pretending that we could be a pair.
As I become older, I found the joy in smiling to any girl that I like, unconditionally

[St-Dank-Tanks-LG]

It's like an automatic response to eye contact with a girl a shy guy likes. lol, there isn't really a logical explanation.

[Asker]

What are some other main signs that a shy guy likes you?

[St-Dank-Tanks-LG]

Always seems to know where you are (you would need to be watchin him a lot to notice him doin the same lol)

Acts sort of uncomfortable around you (seemingly, of course)

[Anonymous]

Ya, for sure. If I like a girl and I see her look right at me I sometimes get nervous and just look away like I wasn't looking at her.

[jojojosephine]

Aww.... but then we get the wrong idea!! we think you REALY weren't looking at us...

[Opinion Owner]

I know.. but that's self confidence for ya I guess...

[Chief16]

You mean like this

Don't worry, happens all the time.

[Levin]

Two reasons I think, lack of interest, or a lack of self confidence. Maybe you intimidate them if you're very attractive :)

[BeMuse]

When you are tall you generally always have to look down to see girls because they are shorter than you...

[unomilkis1]

I'm what they call... chronically shy guy. And so yes, whenever I make eye contacts, especially someone whos attractive or someone who I crush on, I avoid it.
