Eye contact

How do you feel about making eye contact when talking to the opposite sex? Me, I like to look into a person's eye when talking to them, and prefer that they do the same (especially the ladies). ;)

However, I noticed some people, especially Filipinas, who have the habit of looking past or away from the person they are conversing with, which makes them appear distracted or insincere even if they are not. Hindi naman sila duling. :freak_anim:

    I like making eye contacts, it's more sincere and ethical.

    i read about that. it's about body language

    if the person looks from foot to head. the person just wants sex
    if the person looks from head to foot. the person is a connosier of the human body
    if the person looks at the eyes. the person likes intellectual stimulation.
    if the person looks at the mouth. the person is sensual.

    tama ba sa inyo?

    maybe. but mostly, kasi pinapanood lang talaga nila yung mouth mo habang nagsasalita ka, when really, they should look you in the eye. They're not aware na ganun sila.

    baka tinitignan lng nla ung tinga... ehehe :D

    ako guilty dun sa ndi palagi nag-a-eye contact sa kausap ko lalo na kung maraming tao sa tabi... tinitignan ko kung may kakilala ako sa crowd.

    That's interesting, rickym, but it probably depends on what kind of look one gives the other person. I've seen many women eye other women from head to toe and back again, but I doubt if they had mutual sexual encounter on their mind. ;)

    Yes, JeL, some people seem to be focused on the other person's mouth for whatever reason, which can sometimes be annoying. Nakaka-self-conscious because you start wondering if you have something stuck between your teeth, as patogenic said.

    that movement would mean according to the book i read, that she has an eye for good looks. if only sex is on her mind she would only look from foot to head.

    Yeah, I do this (all the time) with strangers. I don't know why, but when I look at the guy's eyes I get distracted from the conversation. More importantly, I feel like laughing (and shy, I guess). But I don't look at other things either. I just look at nothing and concentrate on the conversation rather than checking out the guy's features. After all, one would know whether the other is sincere or not, based on how the conversation goes.

    On the other hand, when talking about non-personal stuffs, I am firm on the eye contact. Biziniz is biziniz.

    Ahh. but don't you believe that the eyes are the window of the soul?... kaya ka ba natatawa, ganito ang tingin niya? :eyecrazy::whatthe: or :soinlove:

    I have a tendency to look waay too intently as in super focused sa mata ng kausap, my friends say its not normal nga, hindi naman sa nadu dulingduling, kasi you have to shift from each eye then actually geerally the face as a whole pero mas tutok sa eyes.

    This gets me in trouble though, if your way too focused sa kausap iniisip nila you are sooo interested. Kaya natuto na ako di na masyado unless sobrang interesado.



    with regrads the comment on which head ?

    hmmm eh which mouth naman? alam nyo na the lips signifies the ano daw...

    ok din naman ang eye contact kc alam mo kung san nakatingin/tumitingin yung kausap mo. like in my case, i have a guy friend na pag kumakain kame we are usually facing each other. so, ako looking into his eyes while conversing with him tpos i see his eyes wandering.. san?? sa ibang parte ng katawan ko partikular sa ibaba ng mukha ko... hahahah!!! :bashful:hanep!

    haha. nakakatawa yung nakatingin sa'yo sa mata while flashing the mega bright smile (na fake naman). Eyes are the window to the soul? Not with strangers. I don't want strangers peeking at my soul :-p Hinde... nakakahiya lang talaga. But once I get to know the person, bah! tutok kung tutok.

    wah! i remember, i was with my ex, tas ni-meet namin yung friend niya sa isang coffee shop kasi may usapan sila. Konting kuwentuhan, eh i was being friendly lang naman saka yoko magsuplada, kasi diba may ibang gf na hindi friendly sa friends ng bf nila. So yun nga, may kinukuwento siya, eh dahil nga gusto ko maging friendly, tinitingnan ko talaga siya sa mata habang nagkukuwento siya. Yung parang engrossed na engrossed ako sa kwento niya. Eh siya parang asiwa na, tas after nun, parang hindi na siya friendly sa'kin samantalang okay naman kami nung inintroduced kami nung ex ko. Siguro he's thinking na nagfflirt ako sa kanya, na malagkit akong tumingin. Nung 2nd meeting namin ulet, hindi na talaga siya friendly sa'kin, syempre nagtaka ako pero binalewala ko na lang.

    minsan ba naman ay tutok na tutok ang tingin sa akin ng isang babae.

    sabi niya, "alam mo ba na bedroom eyes ako pag tinitigan kita?"

    kako, "oo nga, bedroom eyes ka... ang dami mong muta, noh!"

    aihihihi!!! :lol:

    charmedjeng, if you were dressed anything like your avatar while you were with your guy friend, I can't say I blame him for breaking eye contact and have his eyes wander below your face level. ;)

    btw, my grandfather used to focus his eyes on the mouth of the person he was talking to but I honestly don't think he had lust on his mind.... hard of hearing kasi siya. :lol:

    I agree that would be weird, especially if accompanied by that big fake smile :cheese:... I believe the length of eye contact should be disctated by the nature and flow of the conversation, otherwise it can come across as as a rude stare.

    It''s also possible the guy was shy and self-conscious, and did not know how to react to a girl with your poise and qualities. Or, baka nga sa lagkit ng tingin mo he became mersmerized. :looking: and could no longer think straight. hehe
  • eye contact, I usually look at the eyes of the person If I am sncere to him/her...

    kapag friends ko, madalang ako tumingin ng diretso sa mata, usually hindi ako nakatingin talaga sa kanila.

    Pero pag taong attracted ako, I look at them at a far distance and there are times that he looks at me too. Tapos we have this unknown silent conversation with the eyes, ayun nagtitigan lang kami tapos ako yung nag-look away, hindi ko nakaya.

    Pero may isang beses, nagtitigan na naman kami tapos ngumiti ako , ngmiti rin siya. nakakatuwa... * kilig mode*


    I get intimidated when I look at ones eyes cause nakikita ko yung personality ng tao. I read ones individuality from their eyes.


    Makikita mo rin yung halaga mo sa isang tao sa mata nila kapag tumitig ka sa kanila.

    I prefer people to look into my eye when we talk. I do the same. It irritates me when people don't look at me. I feel like they're hiding something.
  • To those who prefer to have eye contact when conversing, when do you think rapt attention becomes an uncomfortable stare?

    For me, I prefer to briefly turn my gaze away to look to the side or down every 5-10 seconds, otherwise it could make the other person feel intimidated. But if the ongoing discussion is intense, I just go with the flow of the moment and let that decide when to shift my gaze.

    it's okey to gaze sa eyes of the person you are talking to if their eyes are a very nice color, kahit girl or guy
