What does the sentence mean? Is it a metaphor or idiom?

@Nancy88,
Raise an eyebrow = surprised questioning
Raise the bar = make access more difficult (as in high jump event)

The sentence might be interpreted:
"She showed surprise by his advance to her and decided to make herself (or her information) hard to get."
