She's always playing arounnd with her hair!

I've noticed something about this girl at my uni. She likes to gaze and play around with her hair when Im there. I was sitting behind her today and she just couldn't put her hair down lol. When Im not around her she's fine...... I don't really have any interest in her but do you think she has something for me?

I read somewhere that female hair is a very strong flirting tool lol. Just want you're opinions... Thanks :smile:

It is. But usually not when you're sitting behind her.
I have long hair and I tend to play with it when I'm nervous or bored.

The problem with all these body language things being well known is that guys will see one thing and assume someone is crazy about them. Like someone could be talking to someone else and see that their eyes are dilated. Rather than noticing the dull lighting they could just think "wow, he/she wants me".

playing with your hair is often a sign of nervousness so you could be right...then again you could be wrong thats why its so fun :wink:

Not to sound rude, but how would you know?

If I were gazing into someone's eyes, grinning and then fiddling with my hair, then yes---that would be flirting. Honestly, if this is the only 'indication' you have that she likes you then I wouldn't run with it.

I play with my hair all the time. And I don't fancy every guy I see. So, no, that's not a sign...

I fiddle with my hair quite a lot, just 'cos it's quite long etc. but I do it even more when I'm around guys I like, so you never know.

It can be boredom, nervousness, flirting...amongst other things.

She can hardly be flirting if you're sitting behind her though?

Hmm, I disagree with this. If the guy I fancy is sitting behind me, I still want to look good and attract his attention :biggrin: Hair is pretty much the only way in that case.

But how would you know if you're getting his attention? (unless you have eyes at the back of your head)

Don't worry, I'm sure the back of your head looks fine:wink:
Er, seems to me as though this girl is just bored...a normal occurance during lectures
Like it says in that song by The Streets:

"I saw this thing on ITV the other week,
Saying if she played with her hair she's properly keen.
She's playing with her hair well regularly,
So I reckon I could be well be in."

:p:

All the same, I wouldn't take it too seriously if I were you. It's far from reliable evidence and if you don't have any interest in her I'd dismiss it as just a thing she likes to do to pass the time.

Agree. Even if i like someone, I don't fiddle with my hair all the time. Yes i move around alot, and I am kind of sensitive to every movement around me if that special someone is there but I think determining whether someone likes you or not should not be based just on her fiddling with her hair. There are other things people do too when they are attracted to someone. Put the jigsaw together.

dont you consider that to giving out mixed signals in both aspects ie fiddling with your hair and moving around alot gives either you're interested or you find them conserened for your baviour towards them well my thoughts on this.

Sorry I meant I move around alot when I'm near the guy I like. But with the hair thing- I do it all the time.

First description explains it. Although, it is odd that she's doing it when you're behind her and not during eye contact...

I agree if making eye contact facing you and giggling maybe it's flirtation.
If sitting in front of you in a lecture hall and doing it constantly ....:rolleyes: I think it's boredom.
