What Does it Mean When a Guy Looks Into Your Eyes

By on February 28, 2017

Sometimes, it’s really hard to read what a guy is thinking or feeling. Often times, we may think they feel a certain way about us, only to find out they feel completely different. It’s not only frustrating, it’s downright confusing.

But there are ways to tell just what a guy means by their body language. Specifically, when they look into your eyes. Sometimes a guy may be lost in thought and randomly looking at you, and other times they mean something specific. Here’s what it means when a guy looks into your eyes.

  1. They like your eyes.

If you have striking eyes or very unique eyes, guys are going to look at them. It’s just like if you have any other feature that’s out of the ordinary. Don’t read too much into it if you have very bright eyes and a guy is looking into them.

  1. They think you’re attractive.

Another meaning of a guy looking into your eyes is that they think you’re attractive. People tend to make eye contact with people they really enjoy looking at.

  1. They like you.

If a guy is really into you, he’s definitely going to be looking into your eyes. You can also tell they like you by how close they’re standing, how much they talk to you, and if they ask deep, personal questions.

  1. They’re trying not to look elsewhere.

If you’ve got a really low cut shirt on and a guy is making long eye contact with you, chances are, he’s trying not to look down at your boobs. This is a good thing! It means he’s a gentleman.

  1. They’re just being polite.

Eye contact is polite in conversation. If someone is talking, it’s the right thing to do to make eye contact with them and if a guy is doing so while you’re talking, they could just be acting politely toward you.

  1. They’re trying to make an impression on you.

We remember the people who forge a connection within us. Meaning, if someone is giving us long, consistent eye contact, we’ll remember them better than we would someone who doesn’t. Therefore, if a guy wants you to remember him, he’ll likely be looking you right in the eyes.

You have to pay a lot of attention to what else a guy is doing when they look into your eyes. Reading their other body language can help you realize just what it really means when a guy looks into your eyes.

    Hi, umm he talks a lot with me and shares things like being emotional and romantic as a personality which he tells he hasn’t shared with anyone. He jokes around a lot with me whereas he is serious with all the other people in his life. He keeps me up to dated with whatever thing is going on in his life and even sends his pictures to ask which one is better. He acts cutely sometimes, spends a lot of time and is way too much comfortable around me. He does look into my eyes while talking and sometimes for a little longer, so much that i get a little bit shy and just have to laugh it off. The only thing i don’t get it is he doesn’t ask questions about me, it feels like he doesn’t want to know about me. Its his thing that he can’t talk much to people because he doesn’t initiate conversations but what he does is keeps the flow of it. So its me every time asking questions.

    So there’s this guy i really like and at school he keeps looking at me directly in my eyes. He even turns around when he walks by to look at me again. Sometimes he’s not even hiding that he is looking at me. Also, i saw that when i walk by his friends tell him something and he turns around to look at me.He always starts eye contact first. Do you think he likes me back? The thing is this is going on for few days but we don’t know each other and don’t really have mutual friends. If he likes me do you think he would approach first or what??
    P.S. We actually met at a party and we danced together and we hugged a lot but after that we haven’t seen each other for a long time and we both missed opportunity to actually meet each other.
    Please tell me your opinion on whole situation, it would mean a lot to me. Thank you!

Allow this dream to influence you to determine what you want for your future. Speak with him about your thoughts and feelings. Give him an opportunity to share himself with you as well.

    So I’m 48 yrs old. I haven’t been on the dating scene in a very long time even though I’ve been single for 7 years. Recently my mom had a stroke and while she was in rehab I felt a connection with her Occupational Therapist. I can tell he’s younger than me but I have no idea by how much. I think he felt a connection with me too. I had a lot on my mind but I definitely missed opportunities to show him I’m interested. Do you think if he feels the same he will find a way to contact me?

      It is possible that he is interested in developing a relationship with you. It is reasonable for him to feel concerned about his career, and this may prevent him from taking action. Determine what you want for the future of this relationship. Speak with him about your thoughts and feelings. Ensure that you give him an opportunity to share himself with you as well.

    So there’s this guy and we’ve known each other for awhile. Today in class he invited me to sit next to him, which was weird because he usually sits beside his friend, but anyways i sat next to him and sometimes he would lightly touch me and tease me but that’s normal for us. The weird part was, he looked into my eyes more often then normal when i talked. And sometimes i would catch him staring at me and then he would look away. I’ve been catching him looking at me a lot lately. Also today he was teaching me a song on the piano and he would grab my hand to position it in the right place, he’s never really done that before. When our hands would touch i could tell he got a little nervous. After class today i was walking and he came up to me to walk with me but his friend went the other way and at the corner of my eye i saw him look a little disappointed but went with his friend anyways.

    So there is this guy that i like in school, and everytime he says :
    -Oo, whatsup?
    He looks directly in my eyes, even when we are not talking he is always looking at me and smiling, One time while i was opening my biology book in the classroom, he was with his friend, it looked like he asked him a question, and the first person he saw was me, and again he said ” Hi!” Looked me in my eyes and smiled, it always happens.

    Okay so there’s this boy we are both in high school and he always looks into my eyes and puts his arm around my waist but his eyes are intense but also warm and friendly and he gives me a sexy look and I just stare into his eyes as well. And he always strokes my chin and bops my nose. Today he cupped my face with his hands. I just don’t understand we are friends but I dont know what he wants. Can you tell me?

    So there is this man that I know at my church but we are not close friends just mostly an acquaintances and I see him at social gatherings. I have known him for 4 years and the situation I am about to describe has happened during this time period.  First time I noticed something is when I was talking to him with another man  and him together, he did not look at me that much but stared down at his notebook and kept smiling. He was rather quiet while the other guy and I were engaged in the conversation. Later I will catch him several times stare at me when I left my seat to use the bathroom during church service ( Could see through the windows). One day he came up to my car to talk to me while I was inside and he was outside got really close bended down to my eye level and was smiling and asking me questions. Then after he walked away with some distance away we both turned around and looked at each other with smiles on our faces. Another time while I was tending to some kids, I turned around to catch him looking at me with these lustful eyes . He was bended over on a table acting like he was writing something only to be staring at me. I saw him and quickly looked away. But his eyes had this longing look on it. Many times too he has come up to me in church to talk and he got really in my personal space with a smile on his face with which he will look at the ground and then look at me but then  I move back a little and to the side so people did not think something was going on between us. Recently at parties I have seen him  stealing glances at me from afar with a closed smile and when I saw him I quickly look down or away not to show sign of interest. At one time too when he was leaving a party he got close to me by the side and whispered bye in a slow manner with a smile like it was our little secret. This caught me off guard so I did not look at him but said bye quickly and nicely. But then still caught of guard and wondering what just happened, I looked across the room to see him smiling and looking at me.But I quickly looked away. The crazy thing is that we are both married to others so I am trying to avoid problems but it seems that he is attracted to me and I am fancing that but trying to be careful. Another time at another social gathering he stared at me and I looked at him only  for me again to to quickly look down. The same day when my husband and I were talking and smiling  at each other he was looking at us and when I caught him I quickly looked down.when I looked seconds later he looked away. The most recent situation is after church he walked toward me and stood really really close to me looked at me in the eye with no smile but raising is eyebrows at me like he expected me to say something. I had my head lowered like I was looking at other things so when he got really close I raised my eyes and eyebrows to him with a smile and said hi but did it in a weird manner to signal to him what does he want from me when he did not say anything. Then he looked down slowly and smiled to himself and walked away without saying anything. So I have been trying to figure what that meant. The next church service I did not look at him at all but I could see him looking and stealing glances at me from afar. He noticed I did not give him attention because the last encounter was really awkward. I really want to know if he really likes me, or want me or not. I have avoided getting close to him or his family partly bc of this. Please advice…

    I am a single mom of a 6 year old daughter. I have a crush on her first grade teacher.

    The first time I met him he looked nervous like he was about to throw up, so I avoided eye contact (could’ve just been nervous bc meet teacher day). When I pick her up from school he smiled really big and started telling me how sweet my daughter is. This is the moment I realized I liked him. He’s kind, sweet, handsome and adorable. After this, I didn’t want to speak to him or make eye contact bc I’m a little shy and he’s my daughters teacher and I don’t want to flirt with him in front of all the other parents. Plus the other female teachers stare at me and smile which make me uncomfortable.

    So I attempted picking her up w out looking at him. I could feel him looking at me and positioning himself where I was about to walk as if he wanted to talk to me. He also seems like a generally social person. He finally called me over to talk to him, and he told me something my daughter told him and said he thought it was sooo cute. I spoke to him quickly and ended conversation before I said something stupid.

    The next day, he called her name in a stern voice after watching me come in. At first his tone startled me but it didn’t seem to bother my daughter. When I looked over he was staring at me and stared straight into my eyes. It felt like we had a deep understanding of each other as well as a silent conversation.

    However I could be wrong. He wasn’t smiling though and it seemed to last forever although the whole thing probably lasted 30sec to a minute. His expression never changed. I kept looking away and smiling when I looked back. At the end he gave me a smile and I turned around and left.

    Complicated bc he’s my daughters teacher. I’ve never experienced this before. My daughter adores him. I don’t know if he just really adores my daughter and Is a nice guy or if he likes me too.

    Oh yeah, and last week my daughter said he told her, “if I had a daughter, I’d want her to be just like you.”

    I separated with my boyfriend and l used to bother his other friend to help me fix our relationship. It did not workout because the other girl he was cheating on me is pregnant. Now his friend visited me we had long chat about life in general. I like him he is well cultured and respectful, l used to comment on him with my friends. Now on this long chat he asked me to look at him in the eyes 3 times which l failed. What does this mean? Am also scared he has qualities of a man l have ever desired. I don’t know if l should continue seeing him or he can take me as a destitute.

    I have a male colleague whom I was very close with and we suddenly drifted apart due to an awkward situation. We are slowly picking up the pieces and started talking more, as usual he always look into my eyes when we talk and I do not understand is that why when I walked towards his direction to the copier room, he looked up and straight at me and I looked back, tried to smile a little, he did not smile back instead he kept that intense look into my eyes that I had to look away. Can you tell me what does that mean?

I am not sure if I tell him how I have been feeling is going to turn things to a different direction? My feelings for him is really deep and I have been hiding and I dare not approach him with my feelings for him and end up awkward.
