I have heard from multiple people that eye contact is essential in letting a girl (or guy, I guess) know you’re interested.
But what is the 411 when it comes to said eye contact? Do you keep looking until she does? Do you then keep staring? Or is like looking at the sun? What’s the deal?
That’s the neat part, I don’t.
Snap snap grin grin wink wink nudge nudge say no more! Know what I mean, nudge nudge?
I’m going to need class 101 on 411 as I’ve no idea what it is
411 is number I think they post on high ways when people don’t know where to find what they need in the area.
In the US, 411 was/is a phone number you could call for “information”, specifically directory assistance. Many carriers no longer offer it.
Honestly? By being genuinely interested in a person and not faking anything.
Trying to look a certain way nearly always screams fake and uncanny, just show emotions the way you’re used to!
You know what erases all of this? Just SAYING it. TELL people what you mean and skip all the games.
It’s literally going to change per person
What do you mean by this, exactly?
Different people are different and therefore feel differently about how eye contact should work. Eye contact isn’t a magical love potion that works the same for everybody.
Any advice for autistic people who are uncomfortable with eye contact?
As far as I know I’m not autistic, but hate eye contact and just kinda decided to not worry about it? Eye contact is cultural anyway, and in some countries it’s unusual or rude so I guess I just decided it’s not that important to me. That’s one option!
But for practical advice on improving if that’s what you want to strive for I find it’s easier to practice with someone you’re comfortable with. Looking between their eyes while talking casually. Not like staring, but reminding yourself to look up occasionally during conversation. And increasing the length of time you hold eye contact until it’s uncomfortable and look away. It’ll become more natural to you over time :)
There’s also videos available on YouTube that are for practicing eye contact but I found them creepy. My mistake was probably smoking weed beforehand, so maybe don’t do that!
Best of luck to you!
From my experience, if you make eye contact, look away briefly, then look back. If she’s still looking at you, hold eye contact for a moment and smile. If she likes you, she’ll likely smile back.
If she’s purposely avoiding making eye contact the second time, don’t be a creep, carry on with your day 👌
No no no. If she’s purposely avoiding eye contact you have to stare at her with wide open eyes and a big smile.
If she walks away follow her, if she starts running away from you, run after her. She’s telling you to come over.
That’s how you conquer a woman /s
There’s a very thin line between the longing look of admiration and the cold gaze of a serial killer.
I love the errors you get and the timing of the errors
lmao!
The idea is that y’all both Exchange a glance long enough to both notice, short enough to not creep each other out. A subtle smile to seal the deal.
Then go say hi to confirm.
If you feel awkward at any point either you suck or the answer is no, that’s where the real skills is at IMHO
The fact that your autocorrect is capitalizing Exchange makes me think you’ve had some bad times.
Not OP but I’ll often rework what I’ve written and sometimes a word that was the start of a sentence is no longer the start, but fuck, doing it all on mobile can be a pain in the ass and I don’t always notice or bother to correct it.
I just assumed it meant they were working on Exchange servers which is a guaranteed bad time.
I feel awkard at literally all times, even when alone. Got any tips for that, aside from not sucking?
You won’t get good answers on social cues from Lemmy. You might get good Linux tips though.
Sure 😏 (Public key already on my profile, if you want)
Why won’t you send me your private key? Don’t you trust me? 🥺💔😭

Fair enough, what Linux command do you use to make eye contact?
touch eyesThis is inappropriate on so many levels:
- If there are eyes and you touch them it’s wrong.
- If a person doesn’t have eyes touching where they are isn’t going to be a winning strategy either
- If you touch a file in Linux called eyes and create it people will be very confused
- If there’s already an existing file called eyes that’s disturbing. What? Why?

Bruh just use screen
How does one patch KDE2 under FreeBSD?
Probably using ports, but it depends on the version.

First you need to approach in a non threatening way. Ideally, by shouting “I am bigger and stronger than you! If I wanted you dead, you’d be by now!”
That way they know you are NOT a threat
If possible, make them feel secure by brandishing a weapon of any kind. That way they know they WILL be safe near you
Next! Wrist control!
Ah yes, the pufferfish method.
It’s all vibes. There is no cheat code, you just have to grok social ques by spending lots of time with people. Put your 10000 hours in, its worth it people are fascinating.
What do you do with the vibrations? What frequency?
I’m told you are supposed to pick up the good ones.
grok social ques
Best possible word choice to tell us you can’t do it yourself.
how dare you. I have friends they just go to a different school
Eye contact is basic human communication of “I’m cool with you.” Don’t rely on it to express romantic interest. Avoiding eye contact can express a lot of things, most of them negative. Sure, you can express more with a look but it can come off creepy if you don’t have a rapport with that person.
Make eye contact when talking to or listening to all people you like. That’s just basic social interaction. If you’re interested in someone romantically, tell them—ask them out.
There’s no secret handshake or look. Talk to them.
You look them deep in the center of their eyes and breath deep and smile and then you use your fucking words to tell them.
There is an evolutionary trait that checks potential partners for eye dilation after prolonged eye contact, supposedly to check for defects, but all it does is a little Seratonin so it’s useless in a world of rational choice.
Words? What is that. Where do I buy one?
You look them deep in the center of their eyes
Like in between the eyes or in the middle of one eye? If it’s one eye, do you pick one or do you switch? At which frequency?
Every 6.9 microseconds. Remember to very your pitch
