If I'm talking to a man, it goes something like this...

*Look at eyes*

*Get bored, glance at floor.*

*Look at eyes, get bored, glance around for any hot chicks in the vicinity*

*Scratch chin, wonder why this dude won't shut up.*

*Make eye contact again just to be polite*

If I'm talking to a woman, it goes someting like this...

*Look at eyes*

*Make quick glance at boobs*

*Look at eyes before she notices that I was looking at her boobs*

*Bring up topic about scenery in order to get her to not look at me.*

*While she's not looking at me, I look at her boobs*

I tend to often avoid eye contact in most situations. It just makes me uncomfortable to make eye contact with people I don't know at all or even pretty well. I do see myself making lots of eye contact with an intimate partner when in fact I find myself in such a situation.

lol

That's so true especially if the chick has good cleavage.

I try not to do that 95% of the time, but sometimes it's almost too distracting.

I don't like making eye contact.

I usually look at people's mouths or foreheads when we're talking... I hope that doesn't weird people out. My friends are probably used to it.

Eye contact let's the other person know that you're listening.

With girls, always keep eye contact. I find it more comfortable to keep eye contact with a girl during a conversation.

With guys, eye contact is good during a conversation, but steady prolonged eye contact is always awkward.

Well, if I ever meet you, I'll be sure to not look at your mouth while you're talking. :P

I just don't like making eye contact...but I don't like staring beyond people either, because then I think I'm giving off vibes that I'm bored of them when I'm really not.

You can look at something else, but don't do it so much to the point where it seems like you're more interested in something else. Maintain eye contact otherwise.

-BUT-

Depending on who you're with, prolonged eye contact might make her think you're staring at her and could make her feel self-conscious.

If they're sitting beside me( like if we're on a bench) it feels awkward so I just look away. Any other time, in the eyes.

I don't see how not making eye contact has something to do with having low self-esteem. :?

It might not mean you have low self-esteem but it could be viewed as a sign of weakness, especially to women.

Next time you walk past a dog, stop. Stand there. Turn and stare at it. Don't walk towards it or make any threatening hand gestures. Just stand there still as a post. And stare at it.

There's a reason why staring is considered a threatening gesture. There's a reason why bugs have "eyespots" in order to scare off animals that would normally eat them. There's a reason why when people screw up, they hang their heads in shame.

Avoiding eye contact is a universal sign of weakness.

When the person is speaking you should look into their eyes, however when you are speaking it is ok for your eyes to look elsewhere but you should make eye contact most of the time.

I try to look at their eyes but if I focus too much I stare RIGHT into their eyes and kind of freak them out. If I'm talking to a chick I'll look at her boobs when she looks away. Quick tip, guys: Never look at a girls boobs before she notices you.

hmmm, interesting topic. never really pay attention to where my eye's are directed, usually just looking around I suppose, always doing somthing when talking. unless its the girl I like, then she pretty much gets a good amount of focus(not creepy focus,lol. but I guess I look more attentive).

I just look around randomly most of the time, I can't think properly when I look at someones eyes, for some reason it confuses me :?

And then because I look around at random I end up forgetting where I have looked an start panicking that I might have looked a little south of the eyes for a while or something then I get nervous, so most of the time I just angle myself so whoever I'm talking to isn't directly in front of me, which is fine at school because normally you stand in groups.

blackened83

You obviously don't know how to read a topic title.

Anyway, I make eye contact almost all the time. If I'm not making eye contact, I usually look at their mouths, or something that's behind them.

I always make eye contact, I was taught to look at people in the eye when you speak to them...

so much in fact, that a lot of people tell me there's something special about the way I look at them, that can be intimidating, because they're not used to being looked at in the eyes so much. Some love it because they feel it shows more honesty and "trueness", others really don't like it because they feel analysed.

When a girl looks at my mouth too much I get the signal I can kiss them... happens 90% of the time, too. I wouldn't want to do that to anyone you aren't insterested in, if I were you.

I hate when people stare in my eyes too long makes me think they can read me and I prefer to stay a mystery to people. Though generally when someone is talking to me I'll look in there eyes for awhile and then look somewhere else then stare again. Then when I talk I make alot of gestures to make the person understand what I'm talking about.

I try not to look at people's eyes too much, as I see no point to it. I can hear someone and pay attention just fine without staring into eyes meaninglessly. I've also had bad experiences with eye contact, especially on the train. Accidental eye contact on a late night train has led to unnecessary violent threats and arguments. People also tend to tell me that when I look into someone's eyes, it looks like I want to kill them, so giving off the mass murderer vibe isn't good for socialising.
