By the way I wanted to know this thing if this was an approach invitation or what
So I was at the bar and there was this cute chick with her friend and I don't know if she checked me out or not
But I was checking her out continously
And then we stared at each other for 5 seconds or so and then she broke eye contact and looked down at her food or something I don't know

Later we made eye contact again and then she rolled off her eyes which I think means fuck off not interested..... Then I didn't made any eye contact but she said something to her friend and the friend turned around and looked at me

Did I made her feel uncomfortable

After she looked down, either you should've approached her or not made eye-contact again.
When a chick puts her head down after you make eye-contact, it's an approach invitation. If you don't take action, she disqualifies you.

Eye contact is to approaching what kissing is to sex.

Too much of it and all the tension gets released and your intent becomes too clear.

It's not necessary, but if you must do it, keep it short and be the first to break off, and make sure you quickly move to the next step.

So do you suggest breaking eye contact first but doesn't that mean that she thinks she is scared of me.....

Just to state another way the same thing @Calibration and @Will_V said...

ROUND 1

So I was at the bar and there was this cute chick with her friend and I don't know if she checked me out or not
But I was checking her out continously

"That guy over there looks cute. Let me look at him real quick and see if he notices me."

@Wolfie: notices her noticing him, starts to stare, doesn't go talk to her.

ROUND 2

And then we stared at each other for 5 seconds or so and then she broke eye contact and looked down at her food or something I don't know

"Okay, maybe he needs a little more obvious of a push. Hey, I'm interested; come talk to me!"

@Wolfie: doesn't go talk to her, just keeps staring.

ROUND 3

Later we made eye contact again and then she rolled off her eyes which I think means fuck off not interested.....

"Well if you're not going to do anything with me being as OBVIOUS as I can be, don't just pussy-tease me and stare at me like you are! Sheesh!"

@Wolfie: gives up and stops looking.

ROUND 4

Then I didn't made any eye contact but she said something to her friend and the friend turned around and looked at me

Did I made her feel uncomfortable

"I did everything in my power to get that guy to come over here but all he did was stare. What is it with men? God!"

[friend stares at Wolfie]

@Wolfie: looks back at friend, doesn't approach.

I'm talking in the context of a 'staring contest' which is never a good idea.

Ideally she breaks contact first by looking down shyly, but sometimes girls just stare back wide eyed, and if you just sit there staring back things get weird.

Ideally you just smile and approach right away. If you can't or want to simmer things up for a bit longer, then if she doesn't look down after a second or so, what works well for me is to break eye contact sideways with a soft smile and a little bit of eye crinkle, and keep my body language aimed in her direction for a little longer before I fully give my attention to something else. That way the tension and good vibes remain until you can approach.
