Why do boys do that thing where their eyes soften?

[Anonymous]

I've noticed them doing that; I know they're not AWARE that they do it, but they do.

Why do they do it.

They get this soft look in their eyes. Like they get more... sweet around you.

i often have a stern look on my face and i can be pretty intimidating even to guys so when i look at girls sometimes i have to stop and catch myself and realize i am doing it so i don't intimidate them and make then feel uneasy so yea i would say i soften my eyes esp around my baby nieces but i mostly try to do it to girls i like if they are just random girls i will just have a blank stare

Because they care about you. Are relaxed and happy to be with you

LOL at all the guys saying they have no idea what you're talking about.

I know what you mean. They do it subconsciously, so they just think they're smiling at us, but we notice that soft look in their eyes. Like this: https://pllgifs.tumblr.com/post/3176076886

And I guess the reason it happens is because they're looking at a girl (or guy) they're affectionate towards. We probably do something similar that only a guy would notice, like maybe we have a cuter, more genuine smile around our BFs or our eyes seem to become more intense/deep.

If they're not aware they do it, then how would they know why they do it?

I think I speak for most of us when I say that we don't know what you're referring to
