Shy women inadvertently exhibit body language that can be easily interpreted for someone who doesn’t want to be approached.
She is sitting among her friends, hiding from view, looking at her smartphone, and unengaged.
Whereas her more outgoing girlfriends are talking to each other, talking to men they just met at the social venue they are in, flirting, laughing, and showing excitement and engagement.
This kind of body language makes a guy look at an outgoing woman as someone they can approach and talk to.
There have been several moments he has looked in your direction as you have pulled into a parking space at your apartment complex.
He has done this enough times that you know he isn’t oblivious to you and is fully aware of your presence as a neighbor who lives a few doors from him.
You sense his eyes on you, yet whenever you move to look in his direction, he avoids making eye contact.
Even when you have been in situations where you see each other by chance in the hallway, he might acknowledge your presence quickly with an awkward smile or muted hello, but he walks past without slowing down, not attempting to open a conversation with you.
