For me, if I lock eyes with someone I wish I hadn't, I'll usually keep looking down, and avoid more eye contact so they don't get the wrong idea. The eye contact usually won't happen more than once, and it'll be a super quick glance.
However, if I lock eyes with someone that I think is attractive, I'll generally keep trying to lock eyes with them (in the most non-creepy way as possible, haha) to show that I'm interested/think they're cute. If they keep locking eyes with me back, instead of looking away, there's a chance they're interested as well. It's a lot about reading body language too: If they keep making eye contact with you, it's a good sign-- but that's not the ONLY sign. Are they giving you a little smile? Is their body facing toward you rather than away? How long do you guys hold contact? Are they quick "what's that person doing, what are they looking at?" glances, or longer "is that cutie looking at me?" glances? It's all about reading ques! I've noticed that the more you catch them looking at you, the more it usually means that they're interested. If you think someone might be interested but are confused by their signs, you can subtly try to see if they're looking at you when you're not looking (aka, "checking you out"... both genders do it, haha).
If it helps you any, this method worked with me the other day. I saw a really cute bag-guy at the grocery store and I realized we were both making quick glances up at each other, so I took that as a queue that maybe he thought I was cute and I smiled at him a little... and then he came to my line and tied my bag in a cute bow and gave me a wink, haha.
Oh you can tell the difference alright. When you both lock eyes it's really weird. It's like you're there but you're not actually there while staring at them. You two both could be walking pass each other but your eyes are still focusing on each other. It's really weird and somewhat of a "soul connection thing." if you catch a person looking and you look back, it's an embarrassing moment rather than a strange moment. Normally if a person catches you staring they will not lock eyes with you for a long amount of time because that person will automatically look away out of embarrassment of being caught.
If they look longer than 2 seconds and they look seemingly curious then maybe they're attracted or if they smile at you. Their pupils get really big if they have that "seemingly curious" look.
Well, if they quickly look away or their facial expression is the same as when you started staring, they're just staring back because you looked.
These are just some tricks to tell but, if you don't totally creep them out by staring, I'd say start up a conversation with them, that's the best way to know!
Does it really matter? Ultimately what you wanna know is: "is there a possibility my penis will get put in any of their holes witnin a couple days?" Cutout the drama of wondering and ask if they are checking you out. They might not be so be prepared but I know its nothing for the male species to find another hole
It's though to know for sure man.
Sometimes I look away immediately even though I'm highly attracted to the girl. I guess because I don't want her to see how obviously thirsty I am. :p
I've also had a lot of lloong staring contests with girls on the metro and often times I'm the one who looks away first because I feel ashamed for staring and I think I'm making her uncomfortable. Then I look back and she's still staring at me. But their expression is often neutral. If she was smiling it would be easier to know, but when people just stare at you without any facial cues it's like impossible to know what goes on in their head.
I'm pretty sure some girls stare just because they like making guys go paranoid or something. Some probably stare at guys they find ugly, funny or weird looking. Or they stare because you have something on your face, or because you look familiar. And some are just day dreaming and aren't even really looking at you lol. So without the obvious smile/blush cues it's impossible to be certain.
Easy, if the eyes come back up to look at you. Always grin, nod your head and watch until she looks away first. Movies are great to show what you're looking for. The reaction shots. If she just immediately returns to focus with her friends without a change in her body language she's likely not into you. If she has to take a second to regroup, look down, shift her position to starighten up, to be more attractive, brush her skirt in a grooming fashion quickly it means she's seeing herself to be presentable. So it's all in what happens after. And she could be attracted and not show it, and if she's not showing that reaction she's going to be a hard sell such as having a boyfriend or something. If she DOES you can walk by and kneel a little and apologize for staring say something like "Sorry if you caught me staring, there was this scene in a movie you reminded me of. But this is our movie. you should tell me about you." Most of all be yourself. I included a brief NLP part in this sentence.

If there's attraction, it lasts longer and is more intense
Well you can tell. It depends how long the eye contact is. Well for me I stared at this girl I liked in my class and she stared back at me and it lasted for a few seconds. Well I went to the mall and saw her working at DQ and while I was walking to DQ I noticed her and we both had eye contact. Her eyes seemed sparkly, dilated, and beautiful. It's just a feeling I can't explain. You just feel something like a connection when there is flirting or attraction and it makes you feel warm. Well at least in my case lol
I had an experience that was like that. The bar was very dark and I caught a girl's eyes. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything of her other than the eye flash. I was leaving that city that night so I was not interested in picking up a girl.
But there was quite a series of eye contact events. Overall she seemed to hold eye contact longer and seemed to sense when I was vaguely looking in her direction. Had I been in my own city and single I would have investigated.
I don't think you can tell. It is possible to make eye and to be conscious of it and they check to see who's looking at them and ditto for you. There is a self reinforcing aspect to it.
The length of the contact and facial cues. If its short like an oops thats awkward and then they stop looking, it was probably a mistake. If she kept making eye contact and looking at you then she probably finds you appealing. If it lasts long enough for you to notice the time passing then she's either daydreaming or is into you. And facial cues so like a smile is a giveaway or blushing
Oh you WILL KNOW. A person isn't just going to stare at you if they're not attracted or interested in you. The last thing you want to do is give someone you don't like the wrong impression.
You'll feel it though... The attraction in their eyes once you do lock eyes for an extended period. I recently experienced the same thing. Dude is sooo hot and he KNEW what he was doing. He's gotten me under his spell... *sigh*
If its just locking eyes for a brief moment, checking each other out, usually look away very quickly. If you notice her looking again and you make eye contact don't be the first to look away, eye contact is a good body language sign for attraction. I love having a conversation with someone your interested in and staring into each others eyes its a beautiful feeling and definitely attraction, jujst don't look away first!!
I think u should approach her if you like her! Don't be one of those guys that just wonder... and stares! The girl will never if u don't approach her !! It really bothers me when guys play games!!! Don't poke me or wait for me to past by !! Get the nerves and talk to me !! And if you can't do that then what of post this question !
what I've found is people tend to be more interested too when you are ok with yourself and being single when you aren't sat there moaning about having noone
things just seem to fall into place and all these shitty love advice things dont even matter because you can't tell if someone likes you by googling a set of criteria
I would say if when you look at her, she stares for a while. Then if she smiles while your eyes are locked. Finally, if it occurs more than once. Then I say it's definitely mutual attraction. If she stares once looks away, then she is just glancing. Women look too, but interested women, keep looking... Hope this helps.
I find if they look away quickly, either down or away, they are attracted to you. This is not %100. also Try to notice if she sends super discreet glances, if you get several, she wants you to make a move. Start with "Hi, how are you?" to really test if she is into you, her response will tell you everything.
Because one is just that when you lock eyes you communicate with each other right then and there you are speaking to each other through your eyes if you just catch a glance between each other's eyes that's just saying hi that's it when you lock eyes you are doing communication
Well I don't know but I always thought if it was locking eyes it lasts a while. When this happens to me with a guy I like (and this has only happened to me with like 4 guys in my life) everything slow downs for a minute and I just focus on him dono how to explain it.
It used to happen all the time with this one guy but he was also always staring at me too.
There are no stats or figures for this type of answer. If the eye contact was out of attraction then it will hold for a few seconds and feel quite intense, like when your in a club and you catch a girls eye across the dance floor. If it was you just looking at each other it will be quite brief with no feeling.
I look for subtle changes in expression. A guy just looking back or staring into space will probably just stare blankly at me.
An attracted guy would do things like raise his eyebrows, part his lips a little, copy my body language, jaw drop, etc.
Look for a change, because that shows you have an effect on the other person.
when one catches another person looking, its like an awkward feeling and you tend to look away ones the person knows you're staring at them.
locking eyes out of mutual attraction, you tend to just gase into each others eyes for a long time, without looking away, without a blink, just forgeting about your surrounding and the people just, and just focusing on that person
Well, try this: When and if you suspect they are looking at you, look into their eyes and smile, holding their gaze just a little longer than usual. Their reaction will usually be a dead give away after that.
i guess the frequency, the more u both keep doing it the more u both like each other.
i liked a guy who didn't like me back but one time i was coming out of a room and he was coming inside and he locked eyes for a good 3-4 seconds but it didn't mean much after all cause eventually he rejected me.
I don't smile much at strangers, attraction or not. Sometimes I can sense attraction on her part, or isn't. Sometimes, I just don't know. The times my judgment is usually spot on are when I find the girl looking back at me numerous times after after I spotted her eyeing me the first time. these girls rarely smile.
Well I think of someone was caught looking at someone else they'd look away with embarrassment but if attraction is involved, I think they would look a little longer and look back more frequently.
if he gives you that flirtatious look, then he finds you attractive but if he gives that confuse look or he gives that "why are you looking at me look" then the other caught each other looking at the other
