There is a sultry stranger walking into the room. He/she is cool, mysterious, and attractive. Suddenly, the two of your gazes meet. Neither person looks away for a full 5 seconds. A bolt of electricity goes from your toes all the way to your head. Your heart starts pounding and suddenly you have the crazy urge to grin maniacally. Oddly enough, so does the other stranger. For one moment in time, the two of you connected and it was...attraction at first sight.
REALITY:
You look up and the other person looks away indifferently.
Maintaining eye contact with an attractive stranger is damn near impossible. Because in the movies, they make it seem like that's what is supposed to happen when two people are attracted to one another. The cold harsh reality is that most people will steal furtive glances at their object of affection without making an attempt at full eye contact.
"Maintaining eye contact with an attractive stranger is damn near impossible."Why is this? Well, its really intimidating. There is a vulnerability of allowing someone to see and understand that you are interested in them. A look away could be one of rejection, which definitely isn't fun. However, there are moments when you can achieve the prolonged eye contact moment.
Women: Men may act cool and aloof most of the time but if you make your presence known by slowly looking up at him and maintaining eye contact for at least 3 seconds, he will definitely answer with a grin. Be flirty and sweet, not desperate. You will make each others day.
Anyone who has had this experience know the sheer excitement and blood pumping that courses through you when it happens. Give the gift of a gaze to someone today and you make have a 'attraction at first sight moment.'
