+1 yWell being a shy girl myself, I'd say it's complicated to give you a clear answer, most of the shy girls when around boys avoid eye contact or even with girls... but if you say she stares at you when she's at some distance, now that might say she is attracted to you or she's curious about the body of a man, mainly if she never had a relationship. But either way if she is just staring at you and no one else I would say for certain that she's interested in you, even if she just looks at you because she's curious, why would she look only at you with a lot of boys to do that. Attention interest DOES NOT mean that she likes you!! She just might like the way you look or find you interesting because of something you do or did ;)

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI'm a shy girl. I'm gonen be really honest here and say I'm a creeper. If I see a person I like I'll just look at them. Not like dead stare, but I'll try to catch glimpses. But if I notice you looking back at me, that's when I start avoiding eye contact. I voted out of curiosity, because I just like faces. If I see a handsome face, I just like to look at it. It doesn't actually mean I'm looking for a relationship with you. For example: there was the guy who was very attractive, but he had a rather dick-ish personality. I'd never date him, but he had a nice face and I'm pretty sure he caught me looking at him multiple times.

Asker+1 y"But if I notice you looking back at me, that's when I start avoiding eye contact" Why is this? And thanks, helpful info!
Opinion Owner+1 yCause we don't want you to see us looking at you, cause then it seems like we were staring at you. Then it gets awkward.
Asker+1 yHmmm, interesting. How do I make her comfortable looking at me?
Opinion Owner+1 yYou've just gotta make a move. You can't make her comfortable with you unless you talk to her.
Asker+1 yOkay, still building up the courage, it's hard but I think I can do it. Just need to wait for an opportunity when she's alone. Thanks for the help!
Opinion Owner+1 yNo problem. Just be calm about it
+1 yShe finds you really attractive but she's shy and finds eye contact awkward. I know this because I'm really shy myself. I have social anxiety and I'm not good with eye contact I've done this when I thought a guy was cute or if I had a crush on someone. I never once admitted to them that I liked them let alone talked to them. If you stare at her back you might catch her smiling, hiding, or blushing that will show that she likes you.

+1 yOh my god. That's so me. I look like a happy and talkative girl, but deep down I'm just really shy and insecure, to the point I look uninterested and mean lol! (It sounds pretty funny).
Another reason would be that the girl has trust issues. I have trust issues, so that's also a reason for me not to look at the guy I like. I just can't help it.
Or maybe she's not sure if you like her back (if she likes you) ?24 Reply
Asker+1 yThank you! I was going to go try to approach and talk to her, but dealing with my own shyness is hard, info like this helps a lot, thanks again!

I know it's hard, but you've complimented her and she was happy about it, so don't worry. ;)

^ excuse me omg, commented on the wrong post...
I'm kinda like the girl you described and I wish my crush would talk to me first. It's not easy for me to talk to guys haha *trust issues* :')
Asker+1 yHaha, don't worry and thanks again!
545 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic. I wouldn't be too nervous about approaching her. The thing to remember is that she is feeling the same way too!. And who knows a few months from now you both could be holding each other in bed after having the most amazing sex of your life, laughing about the time you first ask her out, and almost chickened out because you were too nervous.

Asker+1 yHaha, I wish, good advice, I'll try my best. Thanks!
This could mean many things. I am shy with people I can say, but I usually can only look at a guy if I liked him for a very short second, to where I pretend I wasn't looking. Unless I'm mouthing words from afar where I then would turn very red as I have an extremely light skin completion. Everyone is different though. The best thing to do is not to ask if she likes you, but ask her out on a date, even if it is just lunch. That is if you like the girl

Asker+1 yI like her quite a bit, good advice thanks!
+1 yI'm shy girl and if I like someone I'm likely to avoid eye contact... but only if it's with someone I just meet and not comfortable with or I really like the person and I just freeze up and don't know what to say. Hope this helps

Asker+1 yHelps a lot thanks!

+1 yUh, I do this because i'm blind. Literally was staring at a guy I normally ignore because I think he's cute, but I couldn't tell who he was from far away so I stared right at him, for a while hahah

Asker+1 yHaha, wonder what went though his head.

yeah, who knows. We were the onlly ones in the room too lol
+1 yI'm extremely shy, and I'm usually especially shy around cuter guys. It's probably less scary for her to make eye contact from a distance, I know it is for me. I think she's into you.

Um maybe a little but it's more overwhelming fear and anxiety. If that wasn't there then I'm sure I'd feel excited.
- +1 y
I totally get what you mean when you say "fear and anxiety!" For me, I get scared that he'll talk to me and I'll freak out, so I don't want him to talk to me - but I do! :|
- +1 y
Right? Like logically you want him to talk to you but your animal instincts or whatever are like don't talk to me because you want to keep safe.
Asker+1 yWould you be okay if your crush just walked up to you when you're alone and started talking? Even if it was awkward? And thanks!
- +1 y
Yeah I'd be really happy. Do it ;)
Asker+1 y:) I will and thanks again!
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yThat sounds like me, I can make eye contact from a distance with the guy I like but close up its kind of nerve wracking and he always stares which makes it worse.
Try not to do that to her too much, it might scare her off12 Reply
Asker+1 yWhat should I do then if I want to hint that I like her?
Opinion Owner+1 yTry and involve other people in conversations until she feels comfortable around you, or talk to her online or something first, there's nothing you can do about someone being shy, but you should know that if she is, she will never make the first move so you'll have to do it eventually
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI'm shy, i can't maintain eye contact when my crush is close by... but i don't really stare from a distance either, unless i don't have my glasses on in which case if he's standing far away i probably can't even make out it's him.

Asker+1 yNot looking at all? Interesting, thanks!

Asker+1 yIs it nervousness?
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yWell I'm pretty shyand i doe this sometime even if I don't like the person, but id also do it if I did, so I guess maybe try to talk to her and see what happens next!

Asker+1 yI'll try, thanks!
+1 yIt could potentially mean she's attracted to you but it isn't guaranteed. But I would assume so

Asker+1 yAll I need is a chance, don't want to make an ass out of myself pursuing a girl that isn't interested. Thanks!
+1 yShe feels intimated by you, she likes you but for some reason she feels you are out of her league.

Asker+1 yHard to believe that, she's beautiful and intelligent. But somehow it kinda makes sense, especially for a shy girl like her. Thank you!
+1 yThat's me right now. So I would say A that she most likely likes you.

Me too. Usually I'm too scared to even smile, so I probably seem uninterested. But when he's not looking, I'll stare the heck out of him.
Opinion Owner+1 yLol...
I literally hate myself for doing that.
Asker+1 yIs this common with shy girls?
Opinion Owner+1 yyes yes yes
Asker+1 yYou've given me hope, thank you!

I am so shy when it comes to seeing my crush so trust me she's interested she's just scared you don't feel the same way.

Asker+1 yThank you!
does she look away when she long distance stares? or does she keep the eye contact going until you break it?
01 Reply
Asker+1 yShe holds it from a distance, she only looks away when we're close.
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI used to do that too.. There was this guy I really liked but whenever he would even walk past I'd blush. But then I would stare at him by accident from far away. She's probably into you
