I asked my girlfriend if I could run my fingers through her hair?

[Anonymous]

I told her he hair looks exceptionally beautiful today, "can I run my fingers through your hair". She blushed, smiled and said "yes". So I walked over and swiped my finger above her lip and said, "that's nice". She instantly got angry and won't talk to me now. Why?

Ahh man, I think I messed that one up! When she said yes to running your fingers through her hair, she meant like playing with her actual hair on her head.

She probably thought you were gonna be sweet and affectionate. But then you went and touched her lip instead, which came off weird since she wasn't expecting it.

Girls can be touchy about lip stuff if it wasn't super clear you were going in for a kiss. And randomly swiping her face after asking to touch her hair was definitely confusing and came on too strong.

I'd give her some space to cool off, then apologize and explain you weren't trying to be creepy, you just misread the signals. Reassure her you'll ask clearly before touching her face from now on.

Maybe offer a makeup hug or you running your fingers in her hair for real this time to make up for it. Live and learn bro - communication is key! At least now you know for next time.
