Difference between friendly eye contact and sexual eye contact during conversation?

[Anonymous]

How do you tell the different between friendly eye contact and sexual eye contact during conversation with a member of the opposite sex?

I tend to make a lot I eye contact with people however when I’m being friendly and courteous, I tend to look more at their face. But when I’m into someone, I’ll stare right into their eyes

Depends on the other person, If your opponent makes sudden body or eye movements he sees it more sexual than friendly

What do you mean sudden body or eye movements?

[Iron_Man]

You can tell the difference easily between bedroom eyes and lust. Compared to just frendly expressions

[Asker]

How do you know for certain though? I would say I can tell... but surely there’s room for misinterpreting the eye contact you’re getting from someone else?

[Iron_Man]

I've dealt with people before in the same circumstances that I mentioned and I can tell pretty easily

[Asker]

And how do you know you weren’t wrong?

My worry is that maybe I’m seeing what I want to see and not what’s actually there...

[Iron_Man]

I've lived long enough on this Earth to know exactly what's going on and I wasn't wrong believe me. Don't second guess your thoughts just go with the flow

Yea that’s true, trust my instincts!!

If you work it out let me know... I usually work on time limit. If I like someone I will break eye contact a lot less than if I'm just being friendly

[Asker]

Yea I’m the same too actually. I’ll hold it past the point of comfort if I like the person. Even if it’s starting to feel uncomfortable lol! I’m pretty comfy looking at people in the eye but when it’s really prolonged, it feels like there is an unspoken meaning there

I will also try and work in a little smile too of I like them. Trying to encourage them to either mimic me or question it, which will start a flirty conversation

when Im attracted to someone I try to make excuses to either hold eye contact or meet thier eyes again

[Asker]

Yea I do too

Sometimes it is difficult to not be distracted when talking to a lass. You try looking at her in the face she is showing so much cleavage you tend to talk to her but looking at her boobs!!!
