The Blink, Lover's Gaze and the Flirting Triangle

When you consider 80 per cent of our information about the outside world comes through our eyes, it’s hardly surprising studies show eye contact to be the most effective way to signal sexual interest.

Eighteen times more sensitive than our ears, our eyes are capable of responding to one and a half million simultaneous messages.

So finely tuned, they’ll subconsciously spot when someone starts looking at us – even if we haven’t noticed – and start taking mental notes.

If that person is checking everyone out, they’ll stop registering the information; if it’s just us they’re interested in, they’ll signal the brain to give us a nudge that someone’s watching.

Spring is the season for flirting so the perfect time to find out the five eye contact techniques that are scientifically proven to get you noticed!

THE FOUR-AND-HALF SECOND SCAN

A normal face scan lasts three seconds, scan for four-and-a-half and it’s clear someone has ‘caught your eye’.

Eye contact of more than ten seconds between two people means one of two things: you’re about to fight or have sex (well, you want to anyway).

Prolonged eye contact produces intense emotional reactions regardless of whether it’s a fist or a pair of lips heading your way.

It activates the nervous system, raises our heart rate and blood flow and stimulates the production of certain hormones.

Studies have shown this to be an almost foolproof way to find out if a stranger is interested in you.

Let your eyes settle on someone so they’re aware you’ve noticed them, then as they’re still watching you, slide your eyes around the room before settling back on them again.

This effectively says, ‘You instantly attracted me and you’re still the pick of the room even after I’ve checked out the competition.’

If they’re interested, most people drop their eyes straight down, then directly up again to lock eyes after a few seconds.

If someone’s eyes instead slide away from yours and don’t return after a minute or two, they’re almost definitely not interested.

It’s a quick movement – the whole thing’s over in ten to 15 seconds – but it’s impressively accurate.
