Locking eyes - Does it mean anything?

[Anonymous5124]

Generally what does it mean, if anything?

I was walking down the hallway and I made eye contact with a very attractive female. We held if from a distance from for about 5 seconds.

It became uncomfortable so I looked away. I quickly looked back and she was still looking at me until we passed each other. She was talking to a guy friend while looking at me the whole time.

I have no idea who this was so nothing will come of it. I just want to know if in situation like this it means anything? I may be reading to much into it.

Thanks!

"Locking eyes" is the Romantic's term for "staring intensely" or "losing yourself" while staring into another person's eyes. It indicates that you've been captured by the person's stare and are having a hard time looking away. It's a sign that you're into the person -- and that they're into you.

In business meetings it's a sign that the other person is trying to read/intimidate you. In romance it's a sign that the person is trying to read or understand something about you. In both cases they're often looking for a "tell" of what you'll allow...and what they can get away with, lol.

She's into you. The fact that you look looked back at her tells you that you liked the attention, though it made you uncomfortable at first. Something like that happened to me once and I'd look down at my hands or his tie, but when I looked back up he'd still be staring, sort of grinning, stoking the flames with his eyes. ;-)

Enjoy the moment for what it is. It doesn't necessarily have to amount to anything.

I have the same thing happen to a guy I like. When I stared into his eyes and he looked into mine, I felt so comfortable and it was like me and him were the only 2 people in the whole room. It felt right. I asked people what they thought it meant and a majority of them said that he probably likes me back. Since she stared at you a lot, seems to me she likes you :)

Does this song sound good to what happened to you?

Yes, she caught my eye,

as we walked on by.

she could see from my face that I was,

f***ing high, And I don't think that I'll see her again,

but we shared a moment that will last till the end.

Yes it does mean something I done correctly. Many men whimp out when thy make eye contact with a girl, it scares them. For women, if you're a man and you make eye contact with her and you hold it, it shows confidence. Eye contact is exceptionally powerful when done correctly. If she holds it and doesn't look away, she's interested. I always tell guys to make it a habit not to look away, as uncomfortable as it may feel. Locking eyes with a woman and you two staring at each other deeply is very powerful. Beware of the stalker/creeper look if your a guy though haha.

How do you stare while avoid being creepy?

Ahh, great question. Locking eyes with someone is a very instinctual act. Animals do it in the wild, whether it is during mating or when animals fight. You really have to feel it. There is a difference when you are staring at a woman as opposed to you two locking eyes and making a connection in that moment. Staring is a fixation and you know when you do it, its usually just to check out how hot a girl is. But when the two of you lock eyes, its more of an observance, a deep interest

[animalwithin]

you two. There is tremendous power in locking eyes with someone and its a feeling which is difficult to describe but why so many guys look away immediately and don't have the confidence to hold eye contact. Hope that helped haha.

This happened with a coworker of mine about 2 years ago. I looked up from my task and she was across the room from me. I turn my head in that direction and boom I just felt like our gazes and met and locked. It seemed to last forever and I only noticed her and not the environment around her everything but her was a blur

What is most interesting about the eyes is they help clue you into what the other person is thinking. Thus the locking of eyes can help people feel a connection in knowing each-other.

This works because the white in our eyes allows us to observe the rapid changes in eye direction which tend to reflect the area of our brains we are using. Combined with other knowledge or believes about the person and you can have a good idea what they are thinking.

Eye contact like that is a test. It's often unconscious and completely unintentional, but a test non the less.

The girl saw something she liked. Women are attracted to powerful men. To test if you are powerful eye contact is made. If you are the first to drop eye contact, you failed the test. She will not think, Oh, he failed my test so I am less attracted to him." However, her attraction toward you has waned a bit.

If you hold eye contact until she breaks it, you have passed the test. You are perceived as powerful, thus more attractive.

The key is knowing how to handle eye contact without coming across as a creep. Most of the time she will look away first. At that time just go about your business. There will be other opportunities to chat with her.

or

You can smile and mouth a, "Hello" or "Hi." Then go about your business.

or

You can stop by to chat. Here are some easy conversation starters:

"Do I know you? No? Well, I'm <insert name here>."

"Do I owe you money?" Smile to ensure she knows you joking.

"You're not going to beat me up and steal my lunch money?"

I hope this helps.

Either they're looking because you're full on looking or they like looking at you because you look good. :)
