What does it mean when a girl looks at you in a coffee shop untill you walk out, and didn’t look away when you noticed her?

[Moha55]

I work in a building where there is a coffee shop on the entire ground floor, I walked out of the elevator and headed to the door of the coffee shop, where I noticed a cute girl looking at me. She was cute so I looked at her back and I thought she was going to look away but she tried to look away then immediately looked and stared at me for about 15 seconds till I’m the one who got shy and looked away. I saw her again when she came out but she was wearing sunglasses so I don't know if we had eye contact at this time. She doesn’t look like the shy girl type at all, please don’t get me wrong I don’t mind this type of girl, but is there any chance she thinks I’m attractive? Or she looked at me by mistake and didn’t want to look away? Should I try to talk to her tomorrow? (Saw her at the same time twice in 3 days )

It is always difficult to give a reply for something that we have no idea about. There are so many different possibilities.

Your best option would be of course to go ask her directly but the fact that you are asking this question leads me to believe that you don't want to do it or that you don't have enough courage to ask her.

It could be simply because you reminded her of someone or perhaps that she was so much absorbed in her thoughts that she looked without really noticing or that she was wondering why you dressed the way you did. There are a million and one possibilities.

Get your courage together and ask her. What do you have to lose? It is a public place so it is not as if you are going to molest her...

We had quick eye contact again for two times. She was lookin at me for sure
Either she is attractive to me or the copmplete opposite.

Generally it would depend on the warmth or playfulness of the glance and wether she makes effort to hide it or not. If she seems curious and not suspicious while being persistant in reinitiating the glance then I'd see it as an invite.
But if I don't know her and she just do a quick glance that I happen to catch then I'd say it's just as likely I had my head turned in her general direction and one of us passed their gaze over the other, prompting eyecontact.
I would interpret it as an invite to come find out. Maybe I'd walk up and ask if I could sit at her table, given I had the time ofc.


Knowing myself though, if I'm in a bad mood or if I have my mind on other things then these are thoughts I might have hours after the encounter, when the it's too late.

If you've seen her several times there maybe you should give it a try though. She might have oversight thinking you're just busy.

[CaptainOverthink]

Edit: On the first paragraph I say "I interpret it as an invite" a second time, that line is supposed to be erased.

[Guy13]

That’s the Gaze. Itvis an attempt to objectify the person being stared at. Sometimes it’s for sexual or attraction reasons and sometimes it is not. It is an attempt to dehumanize or see you as non-person. Not a good sign to me.

Coffee Shop I work at is a great place to do people watching. She might of thought she knew you or something let us know how it go's if you try talking to her.

[Moha55]

U think I should try?

[collie22]

I would so yeah

[AdithyaR]

Personally I'd get creeped out by a stranger who'd constantly stare at me.

[Moha55]

It’s not like I was sitting there.

I only walked through the place it’s like 15-20 sec.

[AdithyaR]

Yeah you'll have to take my words with a grain of salt cause I've got a hell lot of anxiety, so I'd be set off even by that little amount.
But if you are intrigued by her, you could try striking a conversation next time.

Why does every trivial look have to mean something? Stop overthinking every single situation.

[Moha55]

I’m sorry I don’t mean anything
But is it normal for u to stare at a guy face to face without any reason?
At least she might think I’m someone else.

[JJ092003]

Go back and ask her

[Moha55]

And if she said no then I should leave her right?

[JJ092003]

Right!

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Hell no! Don't leave her alone if she says no. She's just playin hard to get. Keep asking her every day and tell her to take her top off or send nudes. When she threatens to call the police, tell her she's an ugly bitch and no guy would want her anyway

[Moha55]

@WanderingLoveWizard
I’m only on this Area for one day more
I want to talk to her but should I make that clear? Cuz I won’t be able to see her again if she didn’t give me her number or smthg

[WanderingLoveWizard]

@Moha55 Lol, I was joking in first comment, I hope you knew that.
But I wouldn't mention it. You don't wanna make her feel like this is her last chance. That kind of feels like an ultimatum to women.
If she likes you, you won't even have to anyway

[WanderingLoveWizard]

@Moha55
That's a "last day of school" sort of situation too. It kind of makes you look like a pussy. That's just my opinion though, I could be wrong

[jshm2]

She's looking to mug you.

[Anonymous]

There's a clock behind you.

[Moha55]

We had eye contact three times now on the same coffee shop.

[Cheerfull009]

She likes you don't miss the chance
