  • Maybe
    personally, at my job, eye contact means a lot
    especially eye contact from a distance, or staring..

    Staring is basically telling someone you’re interested, staring often is telling someone you’re Very interested.

    Its only ever a problem if the person avoids eye contact, or staring back. If they see you staring & won’t look back for at you. That means they aren’t interested & you need to stop staring..

    Take what you want from that

    • Really insightful breakdown.

    • Mhm Sorry I didn’t necessarily answer the question lol Ok so Sexual Nature in Staring When I stare at the girl I like, Sort of. It’s me checking her out. Staring at her butt, Chest, whatever.. So.. I guess it depends on what you’re staring at. If you’re staring at her butt, Yeah sexual If you’re staring her in the face It’s because she’s cute but don’t stare at the face too much that’s a little weird

    • No, you answered perfectly the first time.

  • Yes. I am going to let you in on a secret that us men have been keeping to ourselves for a millennia. We all have the ability to see through clothing. When we are staring intensely at you, we are actually able to see your naked bodies.

    So now you know.

    • That explains a lot. Thanks. Gonna level up my underwear game now. 😐

    • Won't work. We can see through all known fabrics.

    • 🤣 Dude man come on. Answer the question!

  • Perhaps not ALWAYS, but the majority of the time, yes, it's sexual in nature. Men are sexual in nature, and most things they do when interacting with women (in the age range they're interested in, at least) will be at least somewhat sexual in nature.

    • Yes, I agree. For shyer types a strong sexual desire comes when there is an intense liking.

  • Odds are he is either messing with her, or showing that he is interested, but not enough to go over and make a fool of himself. Either that or he's trying to figure out what your necklace is or shirt says and he's near sighted so he's looking at the wrong place...

    Basically it's an invitation for the girl to come over and start things, he's interested but does not want to go over and say anything for some reason. Either wave the guy over or go to him and talk, otherwise it may be a wasted opportunity. Some of us are shy and/or can't talk to girls, so we need you to make the first move. Usually not sexual in nature so much as just, "she looks cute/beautiful/hot/nice/whatever, I wonder what she's like..." Then there's the whole internal conversation about whether or not to go over and say something that will likely cause us no end of trouble.

    • Yes. It's an invitation in this case. See I had approached him first to stop his weird staring. Not currently available. The interaction caused him some inner turmoil from his body language. Also, all his friends and everyone associated with him would stare at me and watch all my comings and goings and it was evident that there was a MASSIVE information gathering operation going on So I shut down. Then when enough was enough, I tried to speak with him and he ran away from me. No word of a lie ran away like terrified. So I was like uh uh. Then I had to go over tonhim for a balid reasin one day and he was smiling and normal. I was very apprehensive because he was being weIrd AF previously. Now he does all this peacocking and eye contact.

    • Yeah, it doesn't always go well... but at least you know now.

    • Know what?

  • He’s into you.

    • Don't need any other answers now.

    • Awww. ❤️

  • It means he thinks he is Houdini. Manipulative and creepy. And, yes, he wants to "have" you.

  • eye contact can mean a lot of things, one needs to know the full story to really make a choice

    • True.

  • No it can show displeasure, it can be a command, it can be a warning.

    if you piss me off you get a very pointed and hard look, there is no love or teasing behind those eyes, it’s a warning, tinged with anger.

    or it maybe someone has said something and you star at them and something that needs done, you do not need to communicate, your eyes do it for you,

    the finally, there is distaste, displeasure, again signalled by the eyes.

    if my eyes go hard and dark then simply keep out of my way.

    • Yessir! Yeah it's an art and the deoths of what can be said is infinite.

    • @coulis I also missed of predatory, when I am looking and searching and I see something i want, my eyes apparently change, pupils etc and you move in to Hunter mode.

  • Yeah, I'm here eating lunch and I'm noticing this one young guy staring at every cute lady pass him by.

    But, this is a young guy. I'm a young adult and sometimes I'm looking to tell whether the lady is approachable or a total bitch who I should treat like crap so I can slept with her. Else, I'm looking cz she is funny looking.💘💘

    • Alriiiiggght. Thisbis like a consistent thing that happens in a basically daily basis.

    • Then u know, u should just fuck him. If it's the same guy, I don't know if u mean in general.

  • It could be but not always. Sometimes it just shows that the person feels a connection with you.

    • Indeed! That's a nice thought.

  • Why does it have to be sexual? I look women, directly in the eye, just to see how long they maintain eye contact, as a measure of trust and respect. I have a set time, I hold the eye contact, and if she holds the direct contact, that whole time, and I look away, so not to make her uncomfortable, I feel like I can trust her, and I can respect her, and she is a confident woman.

    • This is a cool take.

    • @coulis I think women need to trust their confidence, or have some that believe in them, and want to help them be the best of whatever they want to be!! I have so many friends that are women, and they could just do AMAZING things, but I think they lack the confidence, or maybe are afraid that some of the douch-bags, of my gender will judge them, and sabotage them, so they don't try! If there is a glass ceiling, it is JUST GLASS, and easy to BREAK!! :)

    • I think all people need to care less about people's opinion and just keep the eyes on the prize they want. In my experience, confident women who get the douchbaggy backlash are secretly admired and somewhat envied for having more proverbial balls then them.

  • No , they could be playing an intense game of chess or a heated discussion. They could also be rivals. And at worst he can be a psycho. Just pay attention to other factors of body language.

  • Sexual or love are the two most likely things I can think of. But also some mentally disturbed people will do that.

    • Can guys stare lovingly with sex separate?

    • I can't speak for other guys but I have. Though intimacy is usually integral in any romantic relationship. My grandparents were 93 and 88 and still staring lovingly into each other's eyes. My ex girlfriend's mother used to gaze affectionately into my eyes and I don't think it was sexual. She just liked me around and wanted me to marry her daughter. I was willing but she was not. I've never gazed lovingly into anyone else's eyes among humans but I have looked at pets with affection. If I had children I could see myself looking lovingly into their eyes.

    • Interesting. You were willing to marry her daughter but never gazed lovingly at her.

  • It only means he is thinking, nothing else. It doesn't have to be about what he looks at, he needs to look at something to be aware of his surroundings, while really be occupied processing something.

    • But re the queation he is actually making a point to look at the woman more specifically in her eyes.

  • Or hate

  • I don't think so, but if a guy or girl stares into my eyes for longer than socially acceptable it does give me butterflies

    • I guess that's the goal.

  • Its a clever attention grabber. We would fan our tail feathers, if we had them.

  • When a girl does this to me, i understand it to be deep sexual desire.
    I knew a girl who did this to me a decade ago infront of people and when i requested friendship again with her in 2021 she accepted immediately!
    Also i remembered another girl who gave me the intense eye contact 15yrs ago and requested friendship and boom same thing.
    Anyone else? nope, declined requests.

    • Ok. But when a guy does it.

    • I've done that when im mad at a girl lol I've done to two separate girls. I've also looked deep into a girls eyes when i wanted her to like me, she eventually did like me. Another time i looked into a beautiful blonde blue eyes and stoppe her in the street to look at each other for 30secs lol.. It depends on circumstance. From experience, if a guy or girl does this when they first lay eyes on you.. they are attracted to you. Theyve lost all their inhibitions and dont care about being caught they want you to know.

    • And repeatedly doing it?

  • The thousand mile stare, is as intense as eye contact gets, but the only thing sexual about that stare, is the 💋 of ⚰️.
    If there is even the smallest possibility you might get your signals crossed, between the stare of Amore, and the stare of Post Mortum, just keep in mind, that making the wrong kind of eye contact, with a Wolf 🐺, or a Lady of the Night who is Hungry Like a 🐺, can very easily have the same Post Mortum outcome, whether it be by the Fangs, or by the Glock.

    • What the what? Ok I'll be really careful. But seriously though... what are you talking about?

  • It means you gotta follow up with a kiss. It’d be rude not to.

    • A romantic kiss or a hookup kiss?

    • A romantic one indeed

    • Aww. Cuuuttteee!

  • Yes, usually when I talk to my boyfriend I can see his crazy intense eyes focused at me as he gets turned on and start touching himself seconds before jumping on me. 😂✨💕

    • Well then. There's no doubt in this situation

    • Yes.😂✨

  • Usually sexy or angry. By the rest of his body language you should be able to tell which one. If you can't then it's probably neither of those.

    • It's neither actually.

    • Okay then he is good at hiding his feelings or he doesn't have any towards you. Maybe he's just curious.

    • Hiding and curious.
