A writer wants to show that a character is attracted to someone, but it's too soon in the story for a Big Damn Kiss or even a Love Confession. They have a few choices. They can have the character state, plainly, to a third party, their interest. The writer could have them tell the audience, Breaking the Fourth Wall. Or, if they're going for subtle, they can have them bite their lower lip coquettishly. In real life, there are numerous reasons why a person might bite their lower lip. It is associated with anxiety, and numerous experts on body language will state that it is meant to show holding back thoughts that one doesn't wish to voice aloud, and while that does include sexual thoughts, fiction tends to focus on this aspect. An Always Female trope, no matter which characters do this, it can suggest a sort of innocence or youthfulness to the attraction. Related to Nervous Tics. Examples |

Pretty Little Liars: In "The Bad Seed", Hanna is forced to hop into the bathroom stall while he's showering in order to pretend to her mom she's the one showering, as Caleb is there in secret. At first he isn't really bothered by her presence but then he catches her covertly lowering her eyes and she gives him a guilty look while biting her lip, having obviously enjoyed the view. | |

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle: Discussed and subverted, to hilarious effect. When Bethany teaches Martha to flirt in order to get past the guards, this becomes part of her training. But with Bethany stuck in Jack Black's body and Martha being an awkward nerd who isn't actually attracted to the guards, they both just end up looking ridiculous. | |
