when i really really like a guy eye contact comes naturally.... in deep conversation also... but I purposley use it during buiness matters ofr when I need to take charge of a situation..
I use eye contact alot. If I were to look away that would mean I am not comfortable but if I had to say something in regards to my discomfort I would have direct eye contact when I did...make any sense?..lol
Absolutely, I find it very important to maintain eye contact especially in conversation so they know you are really listening and interested in what they are saying
Eye contact is necessary for flirting, looking into someone’s soul, determining whether someone is communicating truthfully, paying attention to get the correct instructions for a project
Well, communication, both verbal and nonverbal, is very important in any relationship. However, nonverbals can be a lot more accurate and indicative of what someone is actually thinking.
SO, to answer your question, I would have to say everyone does this, either knowingly or unknowingly.

Yes I do this all the time. As been said, to show interest, to hold interest, to gage anothers meanings or intentions. A sort of shrug with the eyes and eyebrows is an end or dismissle of the verbal contact. Not breaking eye contact is a not backing down or not being intimidated as well as a sign of interest in the conversation or the speaker themselves. Most of us use eye contact along with other facial movements to express ourselves. My children learned very young how to read my face and interpret my wishes. Some people such as autistic and aspergers I beleive cannot read faces and have trouble in interrpreting peoples feelings therefore giving rise to breakdown in communication.
