From my experiences, when a girl grabs your elbow from behind like that, it usually means she's trying to get your attention or show you some kind of affection in a casual way. A few possibilities for what it could mean:
- She was just saying hi and being playful/teasing in a flirty kind of way. Girls don't usually grab guy friends' arms for no reason.
- She might have a little crush on you and that was her subtle way of touching you to see how you'd react. Elbow grazing is low-key.
- Maybe she wanted you to turn around so she could talk to you privately about something. Like if she was with other friends.
- Grabbing your arm from behind is kind of intimate body language. So it shows a level of comfort and closeness between you two.
- Could also have just been messing around and goofing. But most times girl friends don't do that randomly without meaning something by it.
I'd say just pay attention to see if she finds other little ways to touch you or gets shy around you now after that. If she does seem more flirty overall, there's a good chance she was feeling you out! Maybe try flirting back and see what's up.
What do you mean, “she’s feeling you out”?
When someone says "she's feeling you out", it means she's trying to gauge your interest and see how you respond to her without being too direct or obvious about it.
Some things "feeling you out" could entail:
- Casual flirty compliments or light touching to see if you reciprocate in a flirty way.
- Asking questions about your relationship status or type of girls you like to get a sense of your availability.
- Laughing extra hard at your jokes or paying close attention when you talk to signal she's into you.
- Suggesting hanging out one-on-one in a chill setting to test romantic chemistry.
- Being extra smiley, friendly and engaged with you compared to other guys.
Essentially she wants to get a sense of whether you could potentially be into her too before outright admitting she likes you. It's a way for her to subtly put feelers out there and gauge your reaction without fully putting herself out there yet in case you're not interested.
So if a girl is "feeling you out", it means she has some level of interest and is seeing what's what without completely showing her hand right away. You'd have to reciprocate her signals to take it to the next level.
Okay, ty.
You’re welcome man
Not much sorry. Was it a small space and she had to squeeze by, or was it large and completely unwarranted? Did she say anything to you?
There was a bit of small space nearby, and we chat for a little while.
doesn't mean anything really
