Eye contact is a powerful social cue. It’s used to show interest and build rapport. When a guy avoids eye contact, this may be his way of letting you know that he’s not interested.

Some people avoid eye contact for other reasons too, such as shyness or feeling self-conscious. But this is all subjective first you have to understand the context about why he is avoiding eye contact in the first place.

So, what is the context? I hear you ask. Context is the situation in which you notice him avoiding eye contact with you. Context is about who he is with, where he is, and what is going on around him at the time you notice the avoidance of eye contact. Think back to what was happening to give you a clue.

Next, we will take a look at 5 reasons why he would avoid eye contact.

5 reasons for avoiding eye contact.

There are many reasons why he is avoiding but these are the best we could find.

  • He could be nervous or shy.
  • He might be attracted to you.
  • He could be trying to hide something.
  • He might be angry or upset.
  • He could be trying to signal that he’s not interested.

1. He could be nervous, shy or have social anxiety.

It’s hard to tell when a guy likes you, but there are some signs to watch out for. One of the top reasons that a guy avoids eye contact is because he is shy or nervous. If you think he might be interested in you, then check his eyes. If he avoids eye contact, then it could mean that he likes you too!

2. He might be attracted to you.

The second reason he may avoid eye contact is that he is attracted to you. It would be embarrassing for him and he doesn’t want to be noticed by you. You can tell this by a eye gaze and if he looks you in the eye.

3. He could have something to hide.

Depending on the context of the situation, he could be trying to hide something from you. For example, if he doesn’t want to talk to you about another girl, he could just avoid eye contact altogether.

4. He might be angry or upset.

Sometimes, when a guy is upset with you, he will avoid eye contact altogether. Think back to your last conversation and see if you upset him in any way.

5. He could be trying to signal that he’s not interested in his body language.

Again, this goes back to context. If you’re looking at him because you like him and he notices, he may look away so as not to give you any signs that he likes you. If you notice he looks away and never looks back at you again, he probably doesn’t like you at all. They’re not interested in you and don’t make eye contact again these are common body language signals.
