Eye contact flirting is all about casting your line out in to the sea of people and waiting to see who responds back with some bait.
This of course can be a lot easier in a room that is not very full, but once you have mastered your eye contact flirting you should be able to zone in on who you would like to invite further interaction with.
The method is really very simple. Scan a room and look to see who is scanning back. If you like the look of someone who is also scanning then lock eyes with them. If you can hold that gaze for three seconds of more, then the good news is that other party is definitely interested. If you you're female now is the time to test this person by looking down but not away. If they are still looking at when you return your gaze to there's then bingo! It's as easy as that.
If you're the guy, then you're eye contact flirting role is to keep looking even when she looks down. Now it's time for one of you to make your move.
If the person you are flirting with is a little shy, then you may have to persist with flirting a bit from across the room. This means that it's time to smile, flutter those eyelids and let them know you are definitely interested.
When it comes time for one of you to make your way over for an introduction, now eye flirting is still even just as important as before. If you look someone directly in the eye when you are making their way over, it makes the person you're approaching feel confident that it's them that they are definitely looking at. It also shows a level of cool confidence. And that's exactly what you need when you're getting ready for an up close and personal flirt.
Even if you have passed the initial first five minutes of meeting, eye contact flirting still plays a very important role when you are getting to know someone.
If you express discomfort, or an awkwardness when you are talking, you're not likely going to be looking in to your new friends eyes. But if you are genuinely interested, keep that eye flirting steady throughout your conversation. This shows genuine interest, it helps to engage your conversation and with any luck with clever eye contact and conversation skills, you will be seeing your new friend again.
