Opinions on strong eye contact

[Tom Mellor]

I love really strong eye contact with the girl I like. Sometimes I'll sit and stair at her and she'l look up stare and smile and I think moments like this are amazing. What are others opinions and do you lie really strong eye contat with opposite sex/partners?

[gebaird]

Only when I'm really in love. Every other time it's uncomfortable!

[vesper]

Sometimes too strong of eye contact could be taken the wrong way.

[Seraphim]

I find really penetrating eye contact and staring extremely uncomfortable . Normal eye contact is just fine .

Only when I'm in love, with other members of the opposite sex its creepy! But with a partner its cool.... but even then too strong is uncomfortable!

Gazing into each others eyes and what's called a predatory stare are two different things. Be careful with it. Also it depends on culture since it's considered rude aggressive or creepy in many societies.

 

 

" It is an intense, relentless gaze that seems to preclude his destruction of his victim or target. Women, in particular, have reported this stare, which is related to the "predatorial" (reptilian) gaze; it is as if the psychopath is directing all of his intensity toward you through his eyes, a sensation that one woman reported as a feeling of "being eaten." They tend to invade peoples' space either by their sudden intrusions or intimidating look-overs (which some women confuse for sexuality.)

 

 

The Psychopaths stare is very effective during the luring and "honeymoon" phases. Women often mistake it as "being sexy" and for "Sexual Attraction" eye gazing occurs in copious amounts during the "Luring and honeymoon stage" at the beginning of the relationship.

 

 

Robert Hare refers to the Psychopath's gaze as "Intense eye contact and piercing eyes" and even suggested people avoid consistant eye contact with them.

I think it's romantic!

Do it sparingly, and don't bore holes through people. People who are up to no good, stare in this way.

Oh man. If you aren't together you will freak her out.

Agree. I think if its a stranger, dont lock the gaze for too long. Follow it up with a smile or wink. Definitely dont lick your upper lip with a long tongue, as that might backfire.

If you are not sitting across the table from her, holding her hand by candlelight, its creepy. That's my two cents. Remember, when someone briefly makes eye contact and smiles before turning a way - a smile can also be a sign of being uncomfortable. Not a big tooth smile and a handwave at you, of course.

I resent eye contact it hurts if the female has nails and doesn't file. It can however have its place in a court of law. Just make sure when the palm of their finger meets your eye look right and left then. This is important don't blink! Till they can lift the print. Good luck

Man, this has the "creep factor" written all over it, lol. The strong, staring, boring holes into you "eye contact" is major creepy (imo). Makes me feel very uncomfortable. It would make me flee in the opposite direction.
