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?
sometimes i keep looking until she does, sometimes i keep staring at her. it doesn’t matter, based on the condition
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.
Every 6.9 microseconds. Remember to very your pitch
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.
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
Works 100% percent of the time.
60% of the time it works all the time.
You’re a grownup. Use your words.
I’m going to need class 101 on 411 as I’ve no idea what it is
In the US, 411 was/is a phone number you could call for “information”, specifically directory assistance. Many carriers no longer offer it.
There’s a song:
“I was looking back to see if she was looking back to see if I was looking back at her”
And also an Islamic proscription against looking twice at a person of opposite sex since it signals interest.
So at least one sort of look that signals interest is the looking again. I also think the kind of sideways look with a smile is good.
Do not go for intense and smoldering. That is some sort of advanced level shit that we civilians cannot manage, it will go wrong.
I feel awkard at literally all times, even when alone. Got any tips for that, aside from not sucking?
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.
One element is to smile with your teeth. If a woman smiles with her mouth closed, it’s just a friendly thing. Old gf told me that and a couple of decades of observation have born that truth out.
Know that face you make when you really want to smile, but are obviously holding it in? That can work.
Making strong eye contact, holding-it-in-smile, then blushing away, just to look again with a full-teeth smile sends a strong signal.
OTOH, if you have to consciously think about how to compose your face, you better be a trained actor. Humans have a solid sixth-sense for the disingenuous.
In any case, don’t merely stare without expression. Yikes.
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.
It’s literally going to change per person
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.
At first, you look at them until they notice, then you look away. The first time, they’ll probably be irritated, because for all they know, you looked at them, because their hair looks silly or whatever. Then give it some time before you look again. In some sense, you can play it like you’ve just been caught looking at them, so you don’t want to be caught again right away.
Then you repeat that a couple times and try to gauge their reaction (without directly looking at them). If they catch onto you and make an ew face, then definitely abort mission. If they smile, that’s a good sign.
Then you can try to hold the stare a little longer before looking away and again, see if they smile. Eventually, you can try keeping the eye contact for a few seconds while they smile at you and then you smile back.
At that point, it’s definitely time to talk to them. They would not keep up the smile, if they had doubts about going on a date, although it’s obviously still not a guarantee. Sometimes, they only realize that they can’t follow through when it gets serious.
But this whole spiel does communicate that you’re shy about it. If that’s not how you feel, it’s better to talk to them right away.
In general, the more time you take before doing the talk, the more serious it is, because then it’s not just a spontaneous “you’re cute, wanna go out and see if we fit”, but rather a “I’ve been observing you for the past weeks and worked out that you are my dream partnerplease marry me right away”. So, yeah, don’t take too long before you talk to them.Wink and point. Licking your lips is good too. Also, the Elvis lip curl. Bite your lower lip.
There are so many.
Don’t forget to rub your hands together like a fly
no amount of body language can replace real, audible, words.
You won’t get good answers on social cues from Lemmy. You might get good Linux tips though.

This 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?

How does one patch KDE2 under FreeBSD?
Probably using ports, but it depends on the version.
Linux != FreeBSD
