yeah, I have a hard time making eye contact up close because I feel awkward or as if I'm making he whole situation really obvious.
like, this is what goes through my head:
"oh, cute guy..." - looks up, from far away -
"okay, we just make eye contact... omg, I need to look away or else I'll look creep and he'll think I'm weirdly staring into his soul." - looks away, cute guy still approaching -
"maybe I'll just look up again, to see if he's looking at me" - looks up and he is, which makes me feel really awkward cause I don't want to stare at him anymore-
"okay, now I'm embarrassed cause he caught me looking at him. I'll stare at the ground now..." - never looks back up cause I'm scared of looking creepy, or I'm intimidated by his looks, or I'm just feeling really awkward-
... maybe that helped?

Yeah they do because they assume that if they find you hot, then everyone else does too and that showing interest in that guy would make them seem like the rest of the crowd.
Or they believe that because that person is hot and gets so much attention it increases the probability that they have very high standards and would feel stupid making is obvious they like a guy that they feel is way out of their league.
Or maybe they just don't want everyone to know that they really like the guy so the ignore them to pretend that they don't, (which gets them nowhere).
I think it's actually harder for a hot guy/girl to get dates because everyone assumes that their taken, stuck up or wouldn't be interested. So I think that the hot guy will need to show interest first before people have the guts to talk to them.

Don't worry, most girls are guilty of doing that, I do it myself, but I didn't know guys actually thought about that stuff! Anyways, girls avoid eye contact and ignore cute guys when they are near because a) they like them quite a bit and b) they're either shy, embarrassed, or both. If you're certain the girl has been looking at you from a distant a lot and she's acting like she doesn't see you when you're close, its probably because she likes you and you should go and talk to her! Also, it depends if you're on your own or with other people because the added pressure of others makes some girls really shy and they don't we want to be seen staring at you in case you figure out they like you.
I do this all the time, I don't want smile or look in your direction because then I don't want to give them the impression that I have some weird crush on you. ha ha and I'm shy. I live in southern california so everyone is in a rush and lacks eye contact, if you give someone in so Cal eye contact and a smile...it gives us the impression you're interested or hitting on us. people will deny this but its so true, my mom has been out of state...she says people in the east coast on much friendlier or so are people in northern cali. so, what I'm trying to say is that the meaning of eye contact and smiling can vary regionaly. lol
Honestly it probably means she really likes you! I do this all the time with the guy I like. Instead of showing him I like him. I do the complete oppisite and will ignore him. Because I lack confidence I look waaay younger than I am and think I don't stand a chance with someone like him. Also I'm scared of coming across as creepy or anoying so I just ignore him. Also when he's give you butterflies and you lose your breath you have to look away incase he notices your blushing right at him. I don't know why we girls do that. But I really wish I didn't seems like Ill never get anyone I like cause I always do this.
I start to get nervous and lose the courage to look at the guy
What will u girls do if tht guy comes to speak to u?
