Well I am not necessarily the best person to answer this, since I have Aspergers syndrome and hate making eye contact for the most part anyway, but I do know a bit about it.
It's always said that the eyes are the window to the soul, and it's very true. There are so many tiny muscles all around and in the eyes, and they are so very expressive. Everything from the pupils dilating with attraction to the eyelids squinting. Any tiny, almost invisible change portrays a completely different emotion, and some people are very bad at controlling/hiding that.
For me at least, when I make eye contact, it feels almost like people can read my mind and it makes me uncomfortable. That could be if I like someone and am subconsciously afraid that he will find out, or if it is someone who makes me feel uncomfortable, when they make eye contact, it's bad because it feels like they are invading my privacy.

Well, they could just be a shy, unconfident, or awkward personality type.
Or maybe it's a bad habit.
But for girls that do not have confidence issues specifically?
It could possibly be:
1. She's trying to avoid getting hit on (and feels like she might be)
2. She's having a bad day, and not in the mood to have someone strike up a conversation with her.
3. She finds you physically distracting/appealing and she's trying to cool off.
Those are the top reasons I do it anyway...
What Girls Said
I avoid it because a. it makes me uncomfortable b. I like the guy and I don't want him to see my flaws c. I'm too shy.
Because it feels like people can read your mind when you make eye contact, like they know exactly what you're thinking, or they make assumptions about what you think of them. At least, that's how it is for me
What other girls already said, she's either 1. Self conscious around you, or 2. Not in the least interested.
Unfortunately, it seems for the most part guys can't tell the difference.For me, it's because I'm shy and awkward and panic internally when someone is looking at me. She might have felt that way too, or maybe she was just uncomfortable, didn't want to talk or anything.
I avoid eye contact sometimes, because I get shy when I think a guy is looking at me.
If a guy is looking at me, I would think that maybe he looks not at me, but past me. Also, I would ask myself, why such a handsome guy not approach me, if he likes me.
She may not really like you, you make her uncomfortable or she's just socially awkward.
Either she liked you to and was embarrassed to look at you
Or she saw you and thought you were looking at something else
Or she thought you were creepymy dad hates making eye contact, and I take after him... I personally just find it awkward even though its the proper thing to do.
social anxiety or shyness.
