EYE CONTACT

Ever walked down a long corridor and saw someone attractive walking down the oppesit end? Just the two of you. Assuming the other isn't deep in thought,both of you usually make eye contact early,like when u can hardly see the whites of the other persons eyes. You mentally prepare yourself.For what? Well,to make eye contact,I suppose...or to say "Hi" depends on the individual in question.
Unfortunately,as this attractive sillhouette come draws close you realize-damn!! he/she is really hot!! Then something happens.You break eye contact and look away.The person screws up.Just when you come close enough,you raise your downcast eyes to say something and the person just gives a weak lifeless smile-a minimalist muscular grimace that last a milisecond,but sends all kinds of messages to your brain. "what a bitch/bastard!!" "insecure" ,"preoccupied",etc.
Actually it isn't the persons fault.Its your fault.Dumbass.
Next time you walk down a street,corridor,road,path and you see an attractive person,lock eye contact from the get go. I mean just grab one eye and don't let go. And smile. I guarantee you'll get a smile back...or a trashing-either way,you learnt something new,eh?
And we sit with our friends and bitch about how people don't notice us,and go about getting all kinds of self esteem issues based on that premise. When you don't make eye contact with people you interact with in daily situations,how the hell do you expect them to "notice" you,or acknowledge you?
Make wicked eye contact with anyone you feel a connection to-attraction,whatever. Use discretion.
