Guys help! Body language decoder - raised eyebrows and slowing walking pace?

[Anonymous]

Do you find yourself raising your eyebrows (almost as if in surprise) when someone you are attracted to speaks to you? Or is it out of surprise that she is just speaking to you?

Do you also slow your walking speed almost as if for her to catch up when you know she’s behind you?

Raised eyebrows when speaking is a sign of attraction

Slowing walking speed to match hers is also a sign of attraction

Both are signs of attraction

Honestly? It depends on Your vibe (I assume You were the one in this situation), but if I raise my eyebrows at a woman and slow my pace down while walking past her, I am also usually rolling my eyes (or at least attempting to, I'm not good with facial expressions). This is supposed to signify that based on her appearance, I consider that woman a slut/a hateful feminist who wants me dead/another kind of woman I would rather not associate with. I suppose if You were dressed in an uncommon, but also cute/endearing/modest way, I could just give the two signals of slowing down my pace while passing You and raising my eyebrows at You - and it would signify interest, but probably not the specific kind of interest You would like to draw.

If I slow my pace down while passing a woman and do not raise my eyebrows at her, but rather give a small nod in her general direction, smile, or even attempt some fleeting eye contact, that's a sign of an actual interest in the woman. That is pretty much always followed by a furious shake of my head and repeated blinking after I pass her and give her a "last look" over my arm, signifying a wish to forget her existence over the realization of what would most likely happen to me (including in jail) if I initiated any kind of contact with her.

Yeah that's definitely you overthinking

Both those things can easily be a misunderstanding

Not saying that person isn't into you. But those examples aren't very good ones for me to say he's

[Asker]

Got it. Not even the walking pace bit? Would you slow down to be engaged in a conversation if you weren’t attracted? This person’s a stranger technically

[teamvic]

Mmm me personally no I would not slow down. But you also have to remember it's different for men and women. Men if it's someone you want you're expected to go up to them. If it's the girl it's more common to wait. So as a guy I would not just slow down and hoped she talked to me

If it's also a stranger it's even worse because remember to you he's something to you and you pay more attention, to him you could very well just be another human waking around. Nothing more, and nothing less

Both for me
