What does locking eyes randomly unintentionally mean?

[Anonymous]

I was in group of friends and while someone else said a joke I laughed and I looked at my friend instinctively and she looked at me at same time. But for some reason I didn’t look away and we both looked into each others eyes and we both laughed for good 2-3 seconds may be I don’t know. But I felt so warm and connected with that one gaze. Like we both see each other sort of. I have asked her out years ago and she said no. Has never thought about approaching again. We became friends though as we hangout in groups all the time. But when this locking of eyes happened, it felt different, weird. I wonder whether she has feelings for me or whether it is all in my head?

It's not in your head partner.
Human beings have the ability to connect emotionally through eye contact.
If you felt something, chances are she did too.

It's the same concept as hateful eye contact. You can feel someone's anger when they look at you mean. Except this is sexual

Are all eye locks sexual only?

I don't like when people do that personally I wanna sock them out. Don't purposely hold my gaze it's SuS Af. And she's just a strange female I don't like when females do it either.

She may like u. I rememebred in elementary school i kinda had a crush on a boy and when something was funny in class id look at him and we laugh like 2x but on the third time i looked at him like this 😐 and he immediately faded his smile 😂

She might like you back or it might just be a friend connection

It could just be coincidence or a form of implicit communication

could just be an accident

Why would it mean anything?

I don’t know it felt different. Usually eye contacts in groups are really short. We look at the eyes of person speaking or listening may be. In this case neither of us were talking at that time. But when laughing at someone else’s joke both of us instinctively looked at each other and kept looking in the eyes. Right after the moment I was like what just happened. It felt warm.
