I felt especially brave today so I made eye contact with every girl that I've come across. I even made some eye contact with guys (by accident, I was looking at something behind them).
All the girls ignored my eye contact. They acted as if they didn't even see me. They weren't annoyed but they were just indifferent.
The guys either smiled at me (made me feel good) or seemed extremely annoyed (mildly amusing).
I think making eye contact is a great way to flirt but it hasn't been too effective. But, it doesn't take a lot of courage or time unlike physicall approaching a stranger.
Should I smile while making eye contact? Actually, I'll try that see if the women are still indifferent.
I'm a 20 year old college student in Vancouver (it's a supposedly very unfriendly place). So my experiences might be due to my environment.
So you made eye contact but didn't smile? They probably thought you were creepy. You need to smile if you want any kind of positive response.
I have noticed that if I make eye contact with someone and smile, I almost always get a "hello" as a response and a lot of the times engage in a little small talk. When someone engages you like that, it's hard to ignore it.
Yeah with practice it gets better to the point where it comes naturally. I used to be extremely shy with guys and couldn't even glance at them, let alone hold eye contact, but now I can at least hold it for a few seconds until one or the other looks away. I don't smile because I don't know what their reason for staring is- for all I know maybe I look funny or something.
There's a fine line between making casual eye contact and staring at someone like a serial killer. Your appearance will go a long way too...if you look like an underwear model odds are you'll get the reaction you were hoping for, if you look like Charles Manson a few people probably altered their route home that afternoon.
Interesting. When I smile at people or they smile to me with a hello response, I tend to smile back and nod my head a little (almost like "yes"). My eyes tend to look up as well (maybe because I'm short too).

Maybe you should just find a girl you really like and make an eye contact with her, instead off staring at every girl like she is an experiment. That way it would be a lot more natural.

Yeah, eye contact is important. I'm one of those people who is a sort of Jekyll and Hyde. One day i'll look amazing and guys are drooling from their cars, other women talk to me in the street for no reason, guys interrupt me and my friends for trivial reasons. Other times, I'll turn to look at people and if it's a guy who is just looking to see what I look like, he'll turn his eyes away, or when i'm waiting for the bus, guys in cars will turn away and stare the other way as if I was going to bite them, women will think I'm too uncool to be their friend and will look down. It really does depend on what you look like if people look you in the eye or not.
The people who know me treat me nicely, but because they already know i'm not arrogant or anything. I've noticed that people who have good sex lives have more expressive eyes that seem to "smile".
