When you are in a conversation or a date; do you look "straight to the eyes" of the other person? What do you feel if someone do that with you? What does it mean to you that behavior?

Very often; it's not easy to handle that situation.Many people are not able to control that or do that.

Not keeping eye contact is rude. But so is staring at a person.

You are right,Mrs;your comment is clear. If you are able to control or handle that situation; better for you. Many people are not able to do that; specially in a serious date or in a subject's conversation " a little spicy".

Thanks for comment; it's very appreciated.

It depends on the person Im speaking to and where they are from

In Western culture its appropriate to look someone in the eye when you're speaking to them, but its different in Asian culture or middle east culture.

In the middle east women are taught not to look a man in the eyes for long period of times unless there is a romantic interest.

in North America that isnt the case.

The eyes are the window to the soul I feel as though if someone does not look you in the eyes or the face in general our being untruthful or withholding something

It's rude not to look when someone is talking to you.
As my mom used to say, if someone can't look in your eyes when talking they have something to hide or are untruthful.
Although, they may just be uninterested, but I still think it's rude

Agreed.

just messing with ya, man

I look people in the eyes when I speak to them. Sometimes indirectly.
Which means I can hold conversations with people thru reflective surfaces.
While my focus is on the expressions in the eyes my peripheral vision takes in their entire body language.
I am very aware of this and the signals I broadcast (crossed arms, open palms, legs crossed).
I also read gestures well.

Many liars cannot look you in the eyes but I have found that some have that ability because they actually believe the lies they tell.

I was the class clown and I learned at an early age to grab eye contact from people. I also know you can have someone's complete attention without eye contact. I have wonderful situational awareness.

I've heard women say they have been treated like a pair of breasts that talk. I've actually been thanked for maintaining eye contact with some women. But, I'm a leg man.

I was taught making eye contact is a sign of paying attention. If I am speaking I appreciate eye contact, If I am listening, I make eye contact.

the exception is when I am extremely attracted to someone physically (rarely happens), in which case I find it hard to let them look at my eyes or to look at theirs, I think subconsciously I'm worried they will see in my eyes the attraction I feel.

I always look people in the eye.. always. I don't like it when people won't look me in the eye when they talk.

well this is true in North America but other cultures that isn't the case and when you meet other cultures if one doesn't understand their culture or vice versa its easy to call someone rude or disrespectful or even insincere.

I learned at a very young age a woman does not appreciate a man looking at her boobies.. at that point in my life I made sure I never let her see me staring at her assets that way... what did happen to maintain eye contact.. I've always waited for them to turn or walk away and I think that is the point when I became a fan of junk in the trunk

It's so cool to look into a woman's eyes when kissing... yummie !!
