How Long Do You look at someone?

[nosoup4crr]

I'm confused about the propriety here. I mean...I guess i get the feeling that people get the wrong idea. I've just been taught that eye contact is congenial. I'm walking to class, I see a cute girl, I try to make eye contact...if it's reciprocated, you get a smile or whatever. But today, I think i put a girl ill-at ease, because i looked to long. 2-3 seconds has always been around my standby...it just felt right. But this girl had time to look away(normal), look back up...and then look away again. I dunno...i just felt like i was at fault for making her feel strange.

you're a creep, maybe it doesn't matter how long you look... creep!

you make me feel strange by posting here. Go away freak.

Whats really bad is when they have stuff written where their boobs are and its real small so you try to read the writing but you can't read it cause its small so you look for a while then they think your looking at their boobs and get mad. Yeah I hate that.

Canadia, it's at a time like that that you need really good friends like mine.

Me: "What the hell is that small **** written on you shirt?"
Her: "Iunno... *pause* Gimme a sec. *takes off shirt, revealing bra and boobies* Oh, there you go. It says 'drink till she's irish'. Good enough?"
Me: "Better than enough..."

And that's just one of the examples. Sometimes, it makes me think some of my female friends might think I'm not straight.... Maybe I'm jsut too nice? Either way, I get to see boobies more than I should!

In oral comm we played a game wherein we had to have a conversation with someone and maintain eye contact the whole time, whoever broke it first was the loser. I guess to prove the point that different people have different comfort levels. So, yeah, I really liked that and I generally play it all the time now without letting anyone else know they're playing.

I guess what I'm saying is I'm a creep too.

Yes, i suppose i am...i guess from now on i should just show my interest by telling them telepathically. Thanks for drawing the line on harassment at eye contact.

heh, I telepath my *** off, but its hard to transmit without the eye contact, danged if you do, danged if you don't

I dont stare until they make eye contact. I just gaze and go whatever and look away.
