Next time we're out and about, when the wheelie bin goes out.... let's make a point of looking directly into a stranger's eyes and smiling and see what response we get.
....maybe even say hi....why should that be so difficult?....and we'll report back. I'm usually the one who looks everywhere else but the eyes, if I have things to do, but I'm going to try it....we may be pleasantly surprised.
I think shyness plays a part in some of us. To look directly into one's eyes and hold that gaze for a few minutes, I find quite difficult. When I am out and about, and can only speak for myself, and am on a mission, I rarely look into people's eyes. Also, there are some ethnicities who find it offensive to look into directly into a stranger's eyes. I think we have to take that into account too.
When I am speaking directly to someone, I do look directly at them, particularly their eyes, so I am clearly understood.
Also, if there is mutual attraction, and a gaze is held, it kinda hits deep within....almost too powerful....and I have to look away, though smiling....simply because he "hit the spot"....
