What does it mean when a girl looks down when you look at her?

Question

This happened to me before many times, I would look at a girl and smile at her and she will smile and look down after. What does that mean? When I look at her, this girl looks down.

It means she is submissive. She is nervous too so when you see her look down you can do it two ways. 1) You can make light of it and ask what she is looking down at or 2) You can look down and look back and catch her eyes when she picks them up. If she looks back at you after she looks down you'll know. Just be patient and see how it works. Me I have more results with #2

Either she likes you or doesn't like you. You have to judge her facial expression to know.

vishna · Accepted Answer

I do that sometimes...it means she likes you ^-^  now if her face is in a frown then she doesn't but most likely she's into you  Ah she's into you

rachel05 · Accepted Answer

she's shy and thinks your attractive probably... hence the smile THEN look down :) go talk to her!

This is how it works for me.
10: Depends on person but flawless in the eyes of the seeker
9: Beautiful but lacking one or two minor elements that would mean perfection. Ex: Might not like eyes or smile could seem cheesy. Almost perfect but human
8: "Hot". The girl at work or school who everyone likes. Not perfect. May have two or three minor flaws. Ex: slightly crooked teeth, big ears or nose, or some acne but otherwise considered beautiful.
7: Your girl that you see that is cute. Usually has a very pretty face but lack luster body or has one major flaw. This is usually the best an average guy can get.
6: The median of girls in the human population. Girls were made to be pretty so the average girl is a six and the average guy is a five. Pretty but definitely is not hot or very cute. Can be considered cute. Has a flaw going against her usually with the face, not with the body. Usually fives that care for themselves are 6.
5: The neutral girl. May be a little too heavy or have bad hair or teeth. Most likely a six who does not have good hygiene. Has a few redeeming qualities to fall below.
4: Not ugly but certainly not average. Can be heavy or too skinny. Has some sort of issue with the face and with the body. Guys who date 4s are ones who believe personality is key.
3: Ugly. Your average check who is wondering why guys don't like her. Usually has a weight issue. Could have been in an accident but major flaws are evident. There are as many 3s as 8s so they are rare. Odd personal preferences could make her date able.
2: The shit of the crop. Opposite of a 9. Ugliest girl you know. This hurts my brain thinking about.
1: Like a 10, all about personal preference preference.
This scale is only used for looks. Personality can not affect the scale for it too work. A guy usually dates a girl half or a full step higher than them. That's how nature works. If there is more than a two step discrepancy, there will be some judgement. Hope this helps!

PeachyPie93 · Answer

It just means she is shy. I kind of hate when people look at you like that, it feels awkward when you don't know the person. I had a guy staring at me when I was checking out at walmart and then I looked at him then finished paying and looked at him again, he was literally staring at me the whole time. Then as I walked away he turned to watch me leave but didn't say anything. He wasn't bad looking, I don't think I knew him and there was nothing wrong with how I looked because I asked my sister and checked in the car. Like if you want to say something say it or don't look at someone like that it is weird as fuck lol.

Electric_Dreams · Answer

A) She's checking out your shoes, or her shoes. She knows what her shoes look like but she's checking them out because she loves them so much. I do that sometimes.

B) My favourite pair of shoes are my red chelsea boots with blue elastic things on the sides.

C) I would love some faux snake skin shoes. I really like to peacock y'know.. but I don't wanna' be walking around in any real snake skin.

D) Snakes are such a beautiful animal. My favourite reptile is alligator though.

E) Speaking of gators, I wonder if Gatorade is actually made with real alligator juices, and if so which? Hope it's not urine as that would be quite disgusting. Saliva would be preferable.

F) Saliva sounds like salvia.. I've heard horrifying things about that stuff. Good job I'm straight edge.

G) I wonder why they call it straight edge..

Anyway I digress - I don't know.

CaliforniaSun22 · Answer

For myself , usually it’s when a guy I find attractive or like looks at me - I look away because I feel awkward- not in a bad way but I’m just like “ bllaaaahh - we made eye contact!” So I have learned to just smile then look at something else- shows you unbothered- even though you seacretly are

Whitters951 · Answer

Well being that she was wearing sweatpants and carrying a bag of chips, means she was wearing her lounge clothes. If she's flattered by you and seems to obviously like the attention you're giving her, then she was just nervous about you seeing her in the clothes she was wearing. It was a lazy day and we all have them. Some girls think that if a guy they like sees them in their 'lounge' wear, they might think their lazy and boring. Keep complimenting her and forget about that run in. & if it does come up, tell her you liked her sweatpants or something. That'll keep you on her mind! :)

TheorionMage · Answer

Its a fundamental HUMAN psychological response to KNOWING their being subjectively 'judged' and NOBODY savors the sensation of being found 'wanting' or NOT attractive to the Observer. Human interaction seeks 'parity'... not greater or lesser and 'no hostility' / not prey.

Even with nonverbal infants, your eyes meet and they''re looking to see if you smile with your eyes... THEN they'll coo.

Bell44444 · Answer

Look I don't generally stare at guys when they aren't looking, but the glancing away when walking thing I do to almost all men and many women, to the people I find intimidating. Obviously I am not a very aggressive or assertive person. It's possible that it's similar for her. It might not be specific to you.

shadowlegend · Answer

She is uncomfortable. You're probably misinterpreting her actions. So often guys think unrelated behaviours are "signs of interest", looking down is the opposite of being interested, and playing with her hair could be a habit, a soothing mannerism, or something she does subconsciously and may be completely unrelated to you.

dogbert777 · Answer

I guess we could do with seeing a pic for ourselves. I feel that numbers don't mean much. But in numerical terms, I think 5 is the average. I have seen one or two that I would personally rate a perfect 10. The next guy might give them 5 or 6. It really in the eye of the beholder.

serp777 · Answer

a 7/10 is like getting a 2050 on the SATS. You're superior to most of the population and you would analogously be considered pretty smart, but you've still got a long way to go before you have a 2400. 2050 is a solid score though and can get you into most colleges. Likewise probably 95% of guys find you attractive enough to date or hook up with.

_Charles- · Answer

Ok... You should probably ask her out and see what she says, if you like her that is. Invite her out casually, go for a dinner or a movie, or both. See how things go from there. Just don't wait for her to make any bold moves, you the one that is supposed to have the balls ;-) just ask her out bro

goodgirlsarebadgirls · Answer

I think overall you can't judge this too bad cause the girl could just be shy if you just met, but typically if she's really comfortable with you and makes eye contact and now she's not there could be a problem. Just don't jump to conclusions she could always be having a bad day or something that has nothing to do with you

hannahflute · Answer

she's smitten :] usually when a guy smiles at you wholeheartedly, it tickles our insides. don't worry, it means she likes you

calialltheway1993 · Answer

She's shy She's nervous She probably thinks it's awkward if she kept looking, so instead she looks down.

Anonymous · Answer

I would have to say shyness. Yep she is definitly shy or nervous. If you do look at her and hold eye contact and she brakes it first it could mean more than one thing: submition, nervousness, shyness... I would have to say that she is waiting for you to make a move.

Anonymous · Answer

Well, size matters, dude! She has to check first!

No, srsly, either she is shy or she believes she is supposed to play shy or you stared at her like an intimidating creep. I mean, if you keep looking for too long and don't give her a break, what is she supposed to do? Take up the challenge and enter a duel?

flowers234 · Answer

well does this happen often? it could be a sign. but if it was just this one girl, this one time, it's probably random.
if she sees you often and do that she might feel hot/embarrassed and nervous around you because she may think u are cute. :)

SnowflaketheWolf · Answer

Sometimes the girl is embarrassed that you made eye contact. She doesn't know what you think about her, many things are possible. Keep doing eye contact and try to talk to her or at least acknowledge her. Good luck!

Nades · Answer

She doesn't want to get into that awkward moment of looking at you for too long. So my advice to you is to see if this happens a lot more often. Also use my technique. Ignore her and look at the corner of your eye without actually looking at her to see if there's a stare. If so then she's interested now it's all on you. Good luck

chauvinistic_pig · Answer

Holy shit, thats some next level stuff. Maybe u are so ugly that she can't even look at you for 2 seconds? Or she is shy and evades eye contact? It could mean that you are searching for meaning in things where are no meaning.

Anonymous · Answer

Numbers mean shit to me. There are women I'm attracted to and there are women I'm not attracted to--I don't worry about those ones. Do the same for men, it will do wonders for you.

And besides, why would you want to be with a guy who considers you a 7? Find one of the guys who rated you a 10, fuck everyone else.

Jemma07 · Answer

She probably just feels a little uncomfortable, but the fact she smiled back means she's happy you did it at all.

MissNowhere · Answer

I think being a 7 is great, obviously you're not perfect and up there with the supermodels, but quite beautiful regardless. If you're a 7 nobody could really call you ugly. I'm jelly.

amzbronwyn · Answer

if you havnt been together for very long then maybe she's just shy or maybe she's blushing and wants to hide it.. im not really sure what the situation is though

cheesesteak7 · Answer

yeah, as others have said, it most likely has something to do some sort of lack of comfort of eye contact for one reason or another - intimidation, embarrassment, RESENTMENT even, etc.

luvmma · Answer

she might be just nervous. I get nervous in front of people who confessed their feelings for me when I'm under dressed. not that I like them. just image concerned I guess. especially when you know the person expect much from you. but then again it is possible that she's feeling uneasy from all your unwanted attention. why don't you just approach her?

AviatorTom · Answer

There are several possible meanings. Here's a possible one: She's being coy. On the way down, her eyes are checking out your package... but she doesn't want to be obvious about it.

Stacyzee · Answer

7 to me is slightly above average. I consider that person cute or good looking.

upood · Answer

She's shy and or nervous. She possibly likes you or is just shy and insecure.

smokahontas · Answer

Mostly it means the girl is shy and that she likes you :) I do that all the time.

i do that when I like a guy and I'm shy around him/he makes me nervous

chunlilovesvega · Answer

that's my main move around a guy I find attractive, when I like a guy I will try to ignore him like crazy. ugh I'll just look at anything else but him lol

To-shy-to-ask-him · Answer

Yes she almost definitely likes you  she looks away because she knows she's been caught   I take it that the rush you got means you like her ?

Anonymous · Answer

"She was wearing a sweatshirt/sweatpants and carrying a bag of chips."

Just the mere mention of this, which doesn't matter at all, gives me creeps - so I hope all the best for you. So ask her "Do I creep you out or not?"

ty2004 · Answer

it could mean a lot of things but the main one would be she's into you or just really shy

Alice2398 · Answer

whocares_justdoit · Answer

she may like u, if she's shy that could be why she looked down

imnotsure · Answer

Every girl does it, she finds you attractive and there for gets shy because she doesn't know you.

cheesesteak7 · Answer

it's a good indicator of feeling vulnerable.  ...which could be a sign of attraction.

RicoSuave · Answer

It only means she's shy/timid and cannot dare to look you in the eyes

Anonymous · Answer

(a) shy (b) holding eye contact for too long and she's trying to make it less weird (c) all of the above (d) none of the above, she's just trying not to fall asleep

Anonymous · Answer

She is shy  or she's upset about something you have done and only did it back so it wouldn't seem suspicious or odd.

kelthy · Answer

She's probably just shy and wants you to go up to her or something

tiff_tiff · Answer

She likes you... I have done it without thinking.

Anonymous · Answer

It's not a definitive sign, but it leans in the direction of attraction. When a woman is NOT attracted to you or even actively dislikes you, she's more likely to look away without dropping her gaze.

LetsGoRangers · Answer

Lol no 5 is average. It makes literally no sense that 7 is average. These guys are stupid a 7 is really cute/hot

YazanAA · Answer

Those numbers mean nothing, I always refuse to give a number. I mean seriously what's wrong with words like cute, pretty, beautiful, stunning... etc?

supersean123 · Answer

If she smiled first, she's interested in some way. If she averts her eyes without any welcoming gesture she's probably not.

didigo182 · Answer

1) She can be interested but, she's shy. 2) She's is not interested and don't have any reason to look at you. 3) Normally girls do that no matter who is.

Anonymous · Answer

Means I want the person talking to me to fuck off lol. To me it isn't cute. It's just a polite way of me showing I'm irritated / not interested in talking at that moment.

Anonymous · Answer

Looks are subjective, what one guy think is a 7, someone else might think they are 9 or 5. I think 7 is pretty and above average but I can't speak for others.

TJM27 · Answer

I consider 7/10 pretty but not hot or extremely attractive.

Aynsof · Answer

She is shy and/or self-conscious  You display an interest she reciprocates and feels maybe embarrassed or something along those lines at doing so
