I guess it's attention whoring or validation. Example:

A cute girl gives you eye contact (you catch her looking at you ) maybe more than once and/or she even walks by a few times and smiles ( had this happen in a coffee shop)

Then, when you open .....she gives quick one word answers and/or chats but has shifty/ semi avoidant eye contact. It's kind of like they never thought you'd have the audacity to open even though they gave approach signals.

I see a few girls like this on and off who initially did this and will still glance/look at me when I'm around as if semi intrigued but ever since that initial open went nowhere...I'm kind of just ignoring them. I'm wondering if I should re try or not.

Experiences with this? and thoughts on the psychology behind it.
