What does it mean when a woman puts her head down and won't make eye contact? Plus she places her hair behaind her ear not once but twice. Is it a sign of shame or unconfidence? Any theories is appreciated. thanks.

I know this woman we've flirted with each other for awhile now, and for whatever reason she started to ignore me. She works at the gym I go to, So I am walking past her she puts her head down won't make eye contact, and then she brushes her hair behind her ear twice in like a 2-3 second period. I don't get this woman at all...She shows signs of interest and then wants nothing to do with me...If I actually read her mind I would be a happy man.

What scenario are we talking about here?

Are you talking to the girls?

Are you sitting down and they are walking by?

Are you walking by and they are sitting down?

Are you both walking towards each other?

It could be a "sign of attraction" or she thinks you're too ugly to look at. It could be many things.

I usually do that to any guy who's attractive because I'm shy. :/ I brush my hair behind my ear as a nervous habit, but usually only if I know the guy I like is looking in my direction.

From personal experience I tend to do it when I'm nervous usually while talking to an attractive guy, or when I'm upset about something and someone is trying to talk to me about it.

She finds you either attractive or intimidating. Maybe both~ not making eye contact shows she's a shy girl.

Not shame, but rather she is shy ..shy towards someone whom she find attracted to especially.

The hand behind the ear thing and maybe all of it may be looked into a bit too much. Usually though it is a sign of being shy and or liking the look of a man.

@ update. It seems she was maybe being flirtatious but probably just nice as you were being forward. Now she is freaked out from your stares and extreme interest.

[MaskofInsanity]

Could mean she's shy/trying to be coy, or that she's uninterested and is awkwardly trying to distance herself.

She is shy and it seems she likes you. Please ask her out and keep us posted.

Two reasons

1) She's too shy

or

2) She finds the guy really ugly

I have get the second one.

[SwissCheeze]

I meant to say I usually get the second one.

She's shy. It's defensive body language.

[kangaru]

Please go up to her she is too shy

Usually, that's a sign of attraction.
