I agree Staring contests work magic. Just be sure to look directly into his eyes and try and make him break the gaze.  Just don't Glare at him.

Step One, Eye Contact!\n\nUsually the first contact made with a "Potentially Interesting Person" (from this point forward they will be referred to as "PIPs") is eye contact. There are a few different types of eye contact.\nThere is the "Across the Room" eye contact, the "In Passing" eye contact (when a PIP is passing by you) and the all-important "Conversational" eye contact. Each is different in many respects, but similar in that they are all ways of sneaking in communication without words.   \n\n\n\nIn order for that contact to have the desired impact, it must be delivered well. It is fun and easy when you know how. Perfecting this ability will be incredibly useful for you in meeting and attracting quality men! \n\nSo you're at the 7-Eleven, a restaurant or club, the market or any public place where you see a PIP. How do you get from hmmm?. . . TO HIM! Often in these situations, you'll need to make eye contact before a conversation can begin.\n\nWhen making this kind of eye contact, remember that you are trying to convey a message with your eyes. People have told me that they are no good at eye-contact flirting because they always end up looking away - when really, this action is in fact conveying the desired message. \n\n\n    Think about it. If a man stares at you and when you look back at him he doesn't end up looking away, you feel uncomfortable and intimidated - more like you're being stalked than flirted with! A man will also feel uncomfortable if a woman overstays her gaze.  \n\n\nThe ideal "Across the Room" eye-contact flirt only makes contact for two or three seconds, and then shyly, must turn away. Usually this will make you smile, which is again a perfect communication - friendly and pleasant. It shows you're happy that he looked back and showed interest in you. Even blushing works in your favor, so don't try to hide it. In these ways, you are using your nervous energy to your advantage. It's important that you let him catch you looking back at him. Subconsciously, this tells him you are interested. If he doesn't catch you looking back at him, he may decide you are not interested. Then he may not be able to get up the nerve to come over and start a conversation with you. \n\nSide note: If he's looking at you when you look back at him, that's a pretty good sign he is interested in you. \nIf he isn't looking at you, that's not necessarily a sign that he's not interested in you. In a situation where you have the time, this entire sequence of looking, looking away and looking back, should repeat itself a few times before you move forward. This kind of eye-contact flirting is most effective in a restaurant, club, or in line at an amusement park or the DMV. Use it in any situation where you and the PIP are going to be in the same place for a while.  \n\n\n\n\n\nList of Top Ten Flirting Tips \n\n\nBy Fran Greene\n\n10. Flirting is an attitude: \nA good flirt is self-confident and not afraid to take risks. \nBe enthusiastic and positive, it works! \n\n9. Start a conversation: \nThe best opening line is saying hello.\nTalk about the surroundings, ask a question, ask for help, state an opinion.\n\n8. Have fun: \nBe playful, light-hearted and spontaneous. \nShow your vulnerability. \n\n7. Use props: \nNever leave home without a prop. \nProps are natural conversation starters. They encourage conversation and others will be compelled to start talking to you. \nGreat props include: dogs, kids, unusual jewelry, a irresistable scent, a sweatshirt with your favorite passion, interesting ties, hats, or an interesting book or newspaper. \n\n6. Be the host: \nChange your behavior from the role of guest to host. \nYou are not the passive person in waiting, but rather the welcome committee. \n\n5. Make the first move: Move closer to the person you want to meet. \nSay hello! \n\n4. Listen: \nYou have two ears and one mouth bec

eye contact does not create love... it creates infatuation and physical attraction....time creates love... not everyone just wants sex....it depends on how YOU CONDUCT YOURSELF.

Girls like guys with self esteem.  Just as guys like girls with self esteem.  Not making eye contact is another form of bad self esteem.  Of course we like it when guys make eye contact with us, it just shows us that they are secure.  That is if you are talking about a girl who doesn't have a problem making eye contact.  Most people have a fear of eye contact because they are afraid of letting others "See" them.  When you find your self not making eye contact, acknowledge that you are doing it by making eye contact.  It's just another thing where "practice makes perfect."  \n\nAnother thing you could do is get together with one of your close friends or family members and do an exercise called staring.  Make sure you are standing with your hands at you side.  do not figit or talk.  Blinking is ok but just stare at the other person don't do anything else.  What ever emotion you are feeling let it out.  If you think it's funny then laugh but maintain eye contact.  Try it out some time.

Basically it spreads from contact.  Most of the time from touching something someone who had this touched and then touching your own eye.

If they look at you, touch you playfully or look at your eyes.

eye contact, smile. Some people can just read body language better I guess.

mac, your comment about talking vs. listening is very interesting... i usually look away when i'm talking to someone, but i maintain eye contact when i'm listening.  i can picture myself doing it every day, but i never even thought about it before.  i don't particularly like to be eyeballed ("you lookin' at me, son?") but as long as the personal space remains roomy enough, i don't feel invaded.  \n\ni guess it depends on the nature of the relationship and the conversation. (ok mac, here's the 'gray area cop-out' part of the show)  i'd be less inclined to be upset by a workmate not maintaining eye contact when discussing the next food order than i would a significant other looking away every time we spoke.  for informational or informal conversations, i believe eye contact is not necessary. for an important or emotional conversation, eye contact sends just as much information as the words themselves.

You're guy is interested in you and very comfortable with being with you.  Ergo he has no problem with maintaining eye contact with you.  \n\nThere are lots of creepy guys out there that have no problem with staring.

It's very contagious, but the only way you would catch it is if they touched their eye, then your hand, then you touched your eye.  Wash your hands right away, and try to remember if you've touched your eyes since your contact with this person.

Eye contact is important in communication for several reasons.\n\nFirst, it shows the person or people you are talking to that you care about what you are saying and that you care that they listen.\n\nSecond, it improves communication because people generally listen and focus better when they are looking the speaker in the eyes.\n\nThird, eye contact shows that you are confident and that you know what you are talking about.  This is especially important in, say, a classroom environment or a lecture environment because you will show the authoritative people that you know your stuff.\n\nFinally, people will take you more seriously if you provide them with eye contact.  They will also get the feeling that you are being sincere and are not lying (that's why, when someone tells you to lie about something, they tell you to 'look the person in the eye').

Basically you have groups of muscles that control your eyes.  Each group is controlled by a Cranial Nerve.  There are three Cranial Nerves that move the eyes.  CN IV-->lateral rectus, \nCN VI -->superior oblique and CN III--> medial rectus, inferior oblique, inferior rectus, and superior rectus.  So there is coordination between the muscles to move the eyes together.  Cross eyes is when the lateral rectus and the medial rectus which move your eyes left and right don't quiet communicate properly.  in a nut shell
