Why does she giggle whenever we talk?

[Anonymous]

Hi, people. I need some help to understand feminine behaviour.

Some background first. Half a year ago I (33 m) met a girl (23 f) at an extension class. We bonded over our similar academic interests and international experience. I asked her out, but things didn't work out after the second date. She didn't want anything serious and I have the impression that she got a little bit intimidated by me having more experience in life and professionally (we are both college educated, but she was finishing her first master and I am doing my PhD). We were in amicable terms, but she ghosted me shortly afterwards and I hadn't seen her until today, in the street.

Well, I digress. When we first met I remember how she giggled a lot, and not only when I said "funny things". When I told her about my plans for life (which are very ambitious) she giggled and when I complimented her (which, naturally, she liked), she giggled.

Today we saw each other in the street and she came to greet me. We talked a little bit, and when I asked about her job (she is looking for one now) she gave me her traditional giggling. So, ladies, I want to know what shall I make of her cute nervous laughing. Why do women in their early twenties giggle when they do it? Why does she do it whenever we talk. To be fair, I don't have many places to make a comparison because none of my female friends are the giggling kind.

PS: I know there is no prospect of a relationship here. She is one of the best persons I've met, but some things are just not meant to be and I am well aware of the obvious maturity issues here.

I’m a naturally giggly girl, but I definitely do it more around people I’m comfortable with or sometimes have a crush in, though if it’s a crush I make sure my giggles aren’t too unrestrained :)

I guess I do it as a way to connect with people and put them at ease, or lighten the mood between us— my way of social connections!

The giggles do come out more fluently around someone I am happy to see or like!

Some women tend to giggle when they are a little nervous, considering you two don't talk on a regular basis, it still feels new to her because you are not entirely familiar with each other. Typically, the more you get to know her the giggling will likely go to the wayside and she'll behave similar to your existing friends.

I don't know, but I love it when a woman giggles, in any situation.
