They just don't like it when you stare into their ssssoooouuuuuullllllllll.

Now i do remember that one day i really kept eye contact with a ladyfriend, we ended up with HFS but then her dad barged in and we quickly got back on our spots.

I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to here, but I'm just now imagining you engaging in some sort of erotic act with a ladyfriend, when suddenly an endless supply of demons bursts forth from somebody's orifice.

DrPoo, I'd just like to take a second here to say how much I love your euphemisms. Because they really are the best, even if I have trouble understanding them sometimes.

Hehehehe Danke. Do remember to watch out for dinosaurs

I was referring to Happy/Hidden Fun Stuff, and i am not going more to depth about it fearing to get muted by Toady.

I have a pretty intense... for lack of a better word, stare. :c

I've tried to tone it down, but it still seems to make people uncomfortable. :C

[Nadaka]

At work, headache is terrible, diarrhea isn't all that good either. Not sure if I can handle driving home.

That would explain some of it.

I'd avoid thoughts like "girls like this" or "girls don't like this." Do what you think they'd like, ask their opinions if you're unsure, and get to know them. Don't assume things.

[GlyphGryph]

But there are some decent defaults to get a handle on (and they generally apply to people in general, not just girls), that many people just don't even think to consider.

[nenjin]

Most people generally approve of eye contact when interacting with each other. Not making eye contact implies shyness, deception or dislike. So it's not just women. It's part of Job Interview Tips 101: Make eye contact.

It was a girl that told me.
Anyways. Yeah. Apparently i can suck out souls too.

I once stared at another girl, she lost all empathy later. Either looming insanity or otherwise i somehow sucked up her soul

[MonkeyHead]

Today was just one of those days when you get home and say "Ugh...".

Double car breakdown (what are the chances of both our cars crapping out on the same day huh?), transport hell (why in the hell is 15 miles of motorway closed down to one lane for grass cutting in winter?!?), shit in work relating to funding probably leading to someone losing thier job (not me though beyond any reasonable doubt), family crap... you know, all the general first world problems that are very annoying and totally a product of how we choose to live our stupid pointless lives.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

I only make eye contact. And when in conversation, making a full head turn to simply reply with eye contact included.

Something about eye contact and attentiveness in conversation drives [that I've been told by, so it's not 100%!] ladies nuts.

[Scootagoose]

That moment when you are making microwaveable burritos, one is fully cooked but the other isn't, so you end up biting into a nasty, horrible frozen bean.

[Graknorke]

Made me gag a bit, but earlier I found an icicle and poked it.

T'wasn't an icicle, It was someone's phlegm. Ewww...

Wat.
I'm not really sure what question I should ask to get you to confirm that for what I think you meant.

Which is... terribly annoying. Extended eye contact gives me a (splitting) headache. Freaking information overload.

It's unfortunately that eye contact is de facto signaling of attention in this culture, really. It's not like I can not pay attention (I broke that part when I was about twelve -- if I say I didn't hear you, I'm probably disassembling to some degree or had ear phones in, because I can't not listen anymore Which... yeah. TV. Hate.), but most people seem to be woefully inattentive of their surroundings so... people expect some kind of physical cue instead of just assuming the person with functioning ears can hear them.

[Hanslanda]

As Frumple said, if I say 'Huh?' or indicate I didn't hear you, you're either way too goddamned quiet, or I'm disassembling, forcing you to repeat what you said so I can think of a reply.
