If a girl looks at you and then plays with her hair in front of you?

Hi,

Just curious. Its happened loads of times but i've thought nothing of it until today. Was coming home on the 'tube' and a random girls gets on and sits opposite me. She looks at me from the corner of her eye a few times then proceeds to play with her hair with her hands. Its happened a few times on the tube, bus, coach, bars etc.

Why do girls do that? Does it mean they like you or do they do it randomly for fun?!?:confused: I really don't understand women - they are a foreign species in my eyes!

It is widely thought that a girl playing with her hair is a sign that she's interested, but tbh who knows unless you ask her :confused:
Should've gone for it mate - Remember for next time!
If I see a fit guy, I'll usually play with my hair purely because I'm nervous and don't know what else to do with myself... so I make myself look 'busy' ie playing with hair, clothes or lips etc.

Sometimes though I subliminly do it when I make eye contact with a hot guy... lol.
It means its her nans 75th birthday.
I am guilty of doing this.. when i see someone i like and in close proximaty to him, i play with my hair. I do it without thinking, its just a way to avoid akward eye contact with him because i usually feel quite shy. So yes it does mean she likes you.

haha, could just be that she felt like playing with her hair to be honest mate, but you wont know unless you give it a shot!

Better to regret something that you did, than something that you didn't do.

Next time ask for her number - if she's not interested you'll probably never see her again anyway.

I play with my hair all the time, regardless of whether there's a hot guy around or not, haha. I guess it depends on the girl. It is often seen as a sign of flirting.

It means she wants to marry you
Girls have often done that when I've been looking at them and I've thought nothing of it. Oh well.

Rofl.

If she's playing with her hair and looking at you, and her body's positioned towards you then you should alyways go for it :wink:.
Go for it, what have you got to lose?


Look at it this way: if you ask her if she like you, there's a 50% chance nothing will happen, if you don't ask her, there's a 100% chance it won't happen.

So It appears that some girls do it because they're shy...
Great ice breaker though when you think about! So when ya see another girl do it say"Hey, this is somthing thats just always got me stumped,but when a girl plays with her hair ..." That would get rid of the shynesshaha :P
It means she likes playing with her hair.

Orrrrrrrr

She is going to jump off the train soon.
It means absolutely nothing. There is no such thing as signs. Take everything at face value. If she's playing with her she's just playing with her hair. Never read anything into anything, not a good path to go down. Do you want to turn into a woman?
ignore the hair thing..i playwith my hair alll the time..especially on tube as there not much else to do. also everyone eyes up the other people in the carriage at least once. have you not noticed how everyone looks up when a new lot of people come in..its just away to mkae the time pass quicker, also to sum up who youll be sharing your air with for 20 mins.

you want to look for the eyes really... if she does a glance, then looks away and then (this is crucial) glances back agsin ..a few times...THEN you have a sure thing.
:redface: I do this all the time with guys I fancy
