What does it mean when you look away while talking to someone?

Answer 1

When I look away, I'm just bored. But if 'someone' looks away, it might be because:

1 - They are struggling to find something interesting to talk about.

2 - They are nervous. I accept that it's rude, but, it might merely suggest that the person is nervous.

3 - They are thinking. Trust me, some people just look away while they are talking. It doesn't mean anything anymore than the fact that they are concentrating on your words only. They do it cause some people aren't used to eye-to-eye conversations. Distracts them, maybe.

4 - Or maybe a hot chick or guy caught their eye. And refused to let go.

5 - Or maybe they are just bored.

It's entirely up to you to observe. And do so properly. :)
