What is the first thing that you notice in a very charming, good looking girl or a very handsome man? Of course when we talk about people with great looks, we know that their overall personality and physique/figure must be to die for. But, for many the most important thing about a mesmerizing person is his/her eyes. In fact if you look closely, his/her eyes should be the reflection of his/her inner self and immeasurable depth. So if the eyes are such are important factor to determine a person’s character, imagine how important it can be to understand the flirtatious looks he/she throws at you!
So what is Eye Attraction?
As humans, we often tend to stare or look at other people if we like them. All of us have probably faced an awkward situation wherein the other person has caught us staring at him/ her or found us looking at him/her at the same moment wherein he/she chooses to steal a glance at us. Normally in such cases you may find your heart and mind debating on certain questions ranging from “Should I strike up a conversation with his/her” to “Does she/he like me?”
This phenomenon which is also referred to as eye contact attraction makes you a little shy and you keep wondering which approach- confident or defensive would be apt for the situation.
Basics of Eye Contact Attraction
The following eye contact attraction techniques should be of great help to those who want to boost their self confidence:
Locking the eyes- One of the most effective methods to find out if a girl/boy is genuinely interested in you is to make proper eye contact with him/her. The reason for this is twofold.

...use you in more than one occasion. Unless you can read minds, you will probably never come to know what’s on her mind while she’s smiling at you subtly. Women are also superior to men when it comes to figuring out the moves of the opposite sex. So if a guy stares at a woman and does not care to repeat his action, the woman will be quick to process the fact that he’s not into her. If you are a woman who wants to find out if the handsome guy at a table next to you in a restaurant has the hots for you, have a good look at his pupils as they tend to dilate when the eyes like what they are seeing.
Eye contact attraction is a common behavior noticed among individuals these days. Sadly though, many let the attraction fade away on account of their low self confidence and insecurity. So, make sure to let go your ego and grab the chance of getting to know that special person!

Humans have been communicating for thousands of years using nonverbal and non-written ways by giving specific gestures like, facial expressions, body movements and postures, eye contact, touch, and space between individuals. The way someone looks, moves, stands, and positions themselves tells the other person if your care, how closely you’re paying attention and tells them if you’ve been truthful. When your nonverbal communications match up with your subconscious actions, like the look on your face they increase trust, confidence, and rapport. But when they don’t, they can create pressure, suspicion, mistrust, and confusion.
People want full attention and full eye contact, to ensure interest in the topic being discussed. I discovered that when I would talk to someone with my back completely turned to someone was when they were offended the most, rather than when I just didn’t make eye contact but was faced in their general vicinity. I think that most people reacted negatively towards this experiment because of the social norm that involves being polite and attentive towards a stranger. Being rude to someone whom I’ve never met before for no reason broke the common social norms of politeness. From this experiment I learned that it is greatly important to make eye contact with someone during any type of conversation. If not, it is seen as very rude and will result in negative reactions or attitudes, and give the impression to whomever I am engaging in conversation that I am not interested in what they are saying to
According to an MSNBC survey, 53% of single people find a great smile to be the most attractive feature in a potential mate. Another percentage of single people surveyed that flattery is the best was to attract someone (Dating/Relationship Statistics).

By using interactive strategies which involve direct contact with the person. For me, this is the more effective as it gives you the opportunity to gather many information and to really see if there is interaction between you and the person.
Once people talk to each other, they usually have eyes contact. From the eye contacts, it tell us we are sharing the information as a feedback. For example, if were talking to the person without sharing the eye contact with him/her, it will consider as a bad behavior. The person that I did not share my eye contact is my teacher. Instead of talking to her directly, I was looking at the table, and she felt like I am ignoring her. It was bad behave from me.
Several weeks ago I observed a woman at the Mall. She and a young man sitting directly across from each other were engaged in what was apparently a mutual flirting. But the younger man seemed much more confident and cocky than did the woman. For one thing, he was more relaxed and calm. The woman, however, kept her arms folded over a bag that she was holding on to very tightly. The woman also had a strong tendency to look down more often than the man. Although her admiration for him was obvious, she seemed to be trying hard to conceal it. Often women seem to be more noticeably shy than men. Non-verbally, their “body language'; seems to communicate their feelings of great uncertainty and self-consciousness.

It is important to note that many other factors tie into this perception as well. The length of how close the contact is, the duration of the contact, and the intensity or emotions of the contact are all variables in which the experimenter can influence in the experiment. In cases of direct and non-direct staring, there is an increase in skin conductivit...

My perception of myself as being introverted and lacking confidence shows in my behaviour and mannerisms during communication with others. In my everyday life I show signs of nervousness while engaging in conversation or other types of communication. For example, I avoid confronting others because of uncertainty of the situation that may arise following confrontation. My nonverbal communication suffers in some areas because of my self-concept as well. In feedback I received during the lab activity “speed dating”, I need to work on making and maintaining eye contact and keeping open body language. According to Belcher, eye contact is especially important because it can either reinforce or diminish our verbal communication (2014). Another common comment was that I need to work on trying the “confrontation” skill. This is consistent with my own observations. Feedback from seminar activities states interpersonal communication skills I am good at include active listening (clarifying and repeating what someone has said), asking open ended questions, and making sure the “client” knows I comprehend them. In communication with others, I need to work on my nonverbal communication cues. However, I am able to engage in active listening, and convey a good understanding of what is being said to
