I notice a pretty girl in a distance walking towards me. When I look at her a 2nd time right before passing, she sneaks a glance without turning head?

Okay, I get it. People accidentally make eye contact all the time. But that's usually when they're faced in a general direction from a distance. But this particular scenario happens to me quite often - more so than girls who can maintain eye contact for more than a second or two. I also like to believe there are more shy girls than girls who can maintain a strong eye contact. For context, I generally get a lot of eye contact from girls, but they're usually not my type.

When I notice an attractive girl from a distance, I take a look at her again right as we pass by. But I noticed a lot of girls actually sneak a glance right as we pass with just their eyes. Their heads don't turn whatsoever. This is no accidental eye contact right? If so, are they most likely interested? Or do they feel like they're being watched so they look back? I like to believe that most girls rarely ever glance in this case, and just move forward quickly. The cost of meeting eyes and having an unwanted approach from the guy greatly outweighs the simple confirmation to see if the guy was actually checking her out or not. At least, that's what I would do if I were a girl.

Just curious what you all thought.

It's natural to be curious about the behavior of others, especially when it comes to potential romantic interest. However, it's important to avoid making assumptions based on limited information or interpretations of someone's actions.

There could be a variety of reasons why someone may sneak a glance at you as they pass by, and it's impossible to know for sure what their intentions or thoughts are without actually talking to them. They may be interested in you, or they may simply be checking to see who is around them without wanting to make direct eye contact. They may also be feeling self-conscious or uncomfortable in the moment, which could lead to them avoiding eye contact or trying to be discreet.

It's important to approach any potential romantic interest with respect and sensitivity, rather than assuming their thoughts or intentions based on a brief interaction. If you're interested in someone, it's best to approach them in a friendly and respectful manner, and to be open to their response, whether it's positive or negative. Remember that everyone has their own preferences and boundaries, and it's important to respect those in any interaction.

You're right. I'm starting to think I'm asking this because I fear rejection. There's been a few times when pretty girls would make intense eye contact with me, but I was either very shy or emotionally unavailable at the time. I don't think I should wait for these, and start approaching girls in a respectable manner without fearing rejection.

It's completely understandable to fear rejection when it comes to approaching someone you're interested in. However, it's important to remember that rejection is a normal part of the dating process, and that it doesn't reflect on your worth or value as a person.

Approaching someone in a respectful and confident manner can be a great way to connect with others and potentially form meaningful relationships. It's important to be clear and direct in your communication, while also respecting the other person's boundaries and feelings.

Remember to focus on building positive connections and relationships, rather than just trying to impress or win over someone. Be yourself and don't be afraid to show vulnerability and authenticity, as these qualities can be attractive and appealing to others.

Above all, remember to treat others with respect and kindness, and to prioritize your own well-being and happiness in any relationship or interaction. Good luck!
