how important is eye contact?

[Demeter]

I used to be rather COY.
Pssh it's all better now, and the nicer/sincere the person is, the easier it is to look them in the eye for longer than 10 seconds. After that, it can sometimes get weird, lol...

Some people I just can't look away from though, ya know. :hippy:

I know what you mean-with some people it is as if you are falling into their soul through their eyes- thump goes my heart!
