What does it mean it mean if you approach a girl with her friend and start talking normally to her in a non creepy manner and her friend keeps glancing back and forth at her when you talking to her

What does it mean? Does it have to mean anything?
It could mean..
You interrupted their conversation
You were being creepy
She's trying to engage in the conversation like a normal person by making eye contact
She's surprised her friend hasn't told you to f off yet

Very kind of you to critique somebody who is clearly harmless asking for social advice after making a misstep and probably feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable at the time, they clearly don’t care about having nice interactions where people feel comfortable. You should be proud that you’re so tolerant and kind.
You could have interrupted a conversation between the two and the friend just simply wanted to get back to talking with her friend.
She could have assumed that it was creepy, as a woman it can be difficult to tell so many have a guard up, she could have been looking out for a friend.
Also did you try and speak to the friend at all? If you immediately went to the person you wanted to talk to and completely ignored her friend it could have come across rude, its always better to include everyone in the conversation.

Very kind of you to critique someone who was just stating the obvious answer to your question. Her looking at someone who is speaking is perfectly normal

Strange how you’ve left out the rest of the content of the message you’re referring to, namely the part where you took a reductive, sneerful stance in replying to a question asked by someone trying to overcome the hurdles of social interaction. Things like this aren’t so obvious to everyone and when someone comes here asking for advice you really ought not to treat them like an idiot for not already knowing.

Well duh, I didn't need to repeat my reply again

You sure it wasn’t that you only mentioned the one thing in your reply that could be considered constructive in an attempt to backpedal on your intolerance? I guess you’re not denying that you’ve been reductive and sneerful so at least we agree on the fact that you’re here to make the OP feel bad rather than help him.
