Does feeling that "spark" when locking eyes indicate mutual attraction?

[Anonymous]

Have you guys ever felt an actual spark with someone especially when they lock eyes with you? I have only felt it a couple times and the one I felt not long ago was really intense. We are both in relationships so this spark is not anything we can do about but I have always thought of him as a friend, never ever saw him in that way he's not even my type looks wise but one day when we were all hanging out together I was handing him something and was sort of close to him I was leaning in to give it to him and I happened to glance at his face and his eyes were locked on mine it was an intense stare and I couldn't pull my eyes away for about three seconds. None of us said anything and I pulled my eyes away after that thinking what the hell was that and what was that jolt I felt? So I am pretty sure what I felt was a spark or a vibe or whatever but when I feel it like that does that mean he does too? That eye contact was just so intense I didn't know what to make of it. But what I generally want to know is that when you lock eyes with someone and not just across the room but up that close like I was and you feel electric after did the other person feel it too? I not even attracted to him but maybe my body is telling me I am?

I wouldn't say I've had it specifically off eye contact alone... when I've felt it, it's been a specific situation, it's been at a time when I've spent the day with the person and I've hugged them goodbye in silence for a long'ish period of time and before they leave we stare at each other in silence. That's the times when I've felt a spark or warmth. But I've never just met someone for like five minutes (even if I've met them countless times before) and just suddenly had a spark.

Well I notice there is tension (well it feels like it to me) when we are alone for a min or whatever and I have known him two years before this happened and never felt anything so I am just not sure what's going on.

Could be that there's parts of it that you wished you had in a relationship, not specifically the guy himself especially if you're not particularly attracted to him. But it could be that you want a guy with his attitude or friendship qualities. I mean I've felt different things, I've met someone that would mentally be perfect for me or attitude wise they would be perfect. Yet I'm not attracted to them, I'd feel annoyed that I can't find myself attracted to them.

Yep. When someone gives you that look it gets rid of uncertainties. if you wanted to start something your off to a good start, since the feelings mutual.
