Eye contact is considered one of the most important types of non-verbal communication and it is not for nothing that the eyes say more than a thousand words. With them, we can show someone that we are attracted to them, that we love them, that we are angry with them, that we are nervous inside..., so it is very useful if we know how to recognize and decipher the messages of the eyes.
We have prepared for you a list of 8 types of eye contact and an explanation of what they mean.
1. Gentle gaze into the eyes
Has it ever happened to you that you noticed that a colleague, an acquaintance or even a stranger it matures gently into your eyes? Such a way of eye contact usually means that the person you attract, but you (yet) he does not dare to speak. If chemistry feel it yourself, then it is the right moment to tell the person who is watching you approach.
What if you are you the ones, watching someone tenderly? At that time, we suggest that you give more eye contact a slight smile and to fix your eyes on his lips, eyes or lap. However, be careful: if you are going to observe the person too long, it may happen that she will feel discomfort.
2. Unconscious view
An unconscious look is a form of eye contact that is somewhat similar to gentle ripening, but her message is completely different. You can recognize it by the fact that the person "watching" you looks a bit different away from the action and gives an impression general disinterest and fatigue. Most likely, her gaze on you has stopped completely randomly and that she only wanted rest your eyes. Therefore, we advise you not to make eye contact at that time special attention.
3. A look that is clearly directed at you
The view that is in you clearly oriented, is considered one the most common types of eye contact. With it, a person wants in a clear way to attract your attention– she might like you attractive, maybe he wants to conversation with you, maybe he has for you question… The best reaction- if you want to talk to her, of course, let her you look back, she you smile or even her say hello.
If you are you the ones, who wish to establish contact in this way, we advise you to observe body language other persons: if any similar to yours or open (the person does not lean away from you, close their shoulders, clench their fists, etc.), then this is a sign that most likely you are too wants to talk with you.
4. Hidden views
But what if you feel at work, a cafe or a restaurant that you someone is watching, but the person as soon as you look back at them, he averts his eyes? This is usually a sign that you are her attractive or yes - if you've known each other for a while - he might be attracted to you romantic feelings. He's watching you furtively because it's too much shy, to show her interest clearly - she is worried that you you don't feel the chemistry.
We suggest that in case you have interest even yourself, the first step is taken by you and towards the person approach and with her you start a conversation. If you feel playfully, you can play flirting join in even yourself and you start her returning furtive glances.
5. Double vision
Double view is the eye contact in which a person sees you looks for a short time, then eyes away, and then you looks again. Even this way of observation can mean that she you attract– except that it's a bit much compared to sneak peeks less shy and he clearly wants her to noticed.
Double vision can also mean that a person you are interested and yes you are wants to talk with you: for example, if you are at a career event, she may have heard your name and wants to to connect, to exchange with you opinion or experience…
6. Deliberately avoiding eye contact
What if the person avoids your eyes? It can exist for that several different reasons, which depend on whether you know the person. If it's about a stranger, is the most likely explanation that a person feels anxiety, it is under stress or has bad day. In such a case, this type of communication does not have nothing to do with you: usually people avoid eye contact with everyone, not just with a specific person.
If you think it is possible to you the person knows, there is a possible interpretation that it is about you heard something bad, that he has a feeling that about her you don't have the best opinion, that it is because of something shame... there are a lot of possibilities here and usually the right answer we don't know (immediately).
7. Inadvertent avoidance of eye contact
Inadvertent avoidance of eye contact is on the side rarely related to you. In most cases, it indicates that the person simply looks around, because he is looking for something or someone or simply wants to see the place. Sometimes it also points to hers concern, stress or anxiety, but it can also mean that a person is deep lost in his thoughts.
8. Sudden avoidance of eye contact
Sometimes it happens that someone suddenly starts elude our view, which is almost always associated with our relationship with this person. A sudden avoidance of eye contact indicates that it has gone into something wrong with our communication: maybe the person next to us started cultivating resentment, it might be up to us angry, but maybe it does wrong or embarrassed she feels.
Here is your handling of course depends on the situation: if you are, say, with this man concluded romantic relationship or you have told him that you no longer want to be with him, there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying hello or looking at each other you avoid.
What if you it is not clear, what could cause this behavior? In this case, we advise you to contact the person approach and in a gentle way you ask, if everything is fine between you two.
