[00:11.79] Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
[00:19.11]Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long.
[00:26.24]And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
[00:31.62]The same is ture in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary,
[00:36.93]you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you.
[00:41.20]If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
[00:49.47]Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.
[00:53.42]But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex.
[00:58.61]If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert his gaze, his intentions are obvious,
[01:06.40]that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.
[01:13.11]However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker
[01:18.90]will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that
[01:23.42]the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. As for the listener,
[01:29.36]he will to a certain extent look continuously at the speaker, to tell him that he is attentive.
[01:36.38]If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel disconcerted.
[01:44.07]A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim,
[01:49.33]since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.
[01:55.67]Quite the contrary.
[01:58.04]In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only,
[02:02.48]who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.
[02:10.20]Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
