Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Have at ye]

Ive noticed girls smiling a lot around me looking at me etc but ONLY WHEN THEY THINK I DONT NOTICE. As soon as I glance at them, they frown, then go back to smiling at me again thinking I dont see it.

Happens all the time.

Noticed the same thing several times with girls giving more direct, sexual IOIs (f. in. showing off their legs in my direction, "giving me a show", etc.) - once they notice I notice - or they notice that other people can see it - they are like "whoops". So it is actually best to pretend not to notice, TBH. Just acknowledge the "whoops" with a patented "I see what you did there" smile and it should be alright.

Then again, had some examples of women doing their IOI things, me taking note of it explicitly, and them continuing shooting them IOIs because why not, I guess. This has been happening much more often recently, and is somewhat setting-dependent (the fewer bystanders, the greater the chance of this happening).

I guess it would really depend mostly on the particular female's personality or the particular setting.

This is happening because she's responding, but scared of your response. 3.3 should significantly help with this.

I was thinking along the same lines. For a female it currently probably feels somewhat as if a guy were to gather up his courage to approach an extremely attractive, high-class woman by saying "Hi!" and heard "I'm totally going to give you a BJ right here and now" in response.

So might be somewhat... scary and confusing, to say the least.
