Eye Contact

You can really learn a lot about someone from a willingness to offer eye contact. Strong eye contact also means the person is also interested in what you have to say. The desire to maintain extended eye contact by a date is usually a definitive sign he or she is attracted to you.

Refusal to engage in eye contact may be a sign of a lack of interest. This is usually perceived as a negative signal which often means there is not a desire to make a connection. However, while in most cases the willingness to make eye contact is a good way to measure if someone likes you, it is also important to remember that the meaning of eye contact varies from culture to culture; do keep this in mind as you watch for eye contact.

For instance, in the United States, it is considered sincere if when people look you in the eye when they speak to you. Those who refuse or avoid looking someone in the eye may give off the perception they are untruthful or have something to hide. A person's willingness to share eye contact often reveals a lot about both themselves and whether or not the relationship between the two of you may progress.
