Sometimes when I'm out in public I notice that women seem to do this. I'll be say for example at the grocery store, and might happen to meet a woman's eyes, they seem to look away really quick. I notice that sometimes a woman might even try to avoid eye contact. IDK, maybe they do this or not.
I thought that maybe they would do this because they perhaps are afraid to be friendly and smile cause maybe they are afraid to "encourage" men. Meaning that the guy would take it as a cue to hit on them??
I've thought perhaps maybe it's just me.
Maybe I look like I could be related to Quasimodo?
Maybe I have some crumbs on my face and they are too shy to tell me??

So ladies, what could be a possible answer.
(Hopefully it's not the Quasimodo thing. )
Your first guess is the correct one
Some of us want to be friendly but at the same time not encourage some guy to come on to us, you know? It's hard to find a balance sometime.
In addition, when a guy is good-looking (as I know YOU are) we want to be careful not to be seen drooling too much!
I'm guilty of that! I usu. catch someone's eye, b/c I'm looking b/c I find them attractive. But then I look away, b/c I think that they'll think, "Oh God, she's checking me out!!!!", and I don't want them to think that, even if it's true. I'm trying to work on keeping longer eye contact, and add a smile, just to see what happens....
I know when I'm checking a girl out I will look away for two reasons. One, because staring is disrespectful and two, I get embarrassed sometimes when I get caught.
If it's a nightlife type environment, getting caught looking is what you want. ;-)
In public I'm pretty oblivious to people around me. I just want to get on with my business and not be distracted. If by chance I do meet someone's eyes, I look away - don't really think about it.
So if some dude is quasimodo-like, I wouldn't notice.

Due that and you won't have any problems with men. That is if you are available and looking? FYI, most men don't care if you check them out, in fact most like it!

That's me in a nutshell. I think I will add one second more of eye contact and see what happens
I doubt it is the Quasimodo thing Chow- when I am caught looking at someone BC their unusual appearance caught my attention, I will usually just smile at them nicely if they see me looking at them.
