I've often found the idea of looking into someone's eyes to be an almost intimate experience. What's more, When I look at someone in the eye, they usually react in their own little way. Some people get creeped out. Some people act intimidated. Some people seem to get more confrontational. Some people seem appreciative. Some people even seem to get emotionally connected. I, for one, sometimes have trouble looking people in the eye when I talk to them, but occasionally find it to result in a very rewarding feeling. I imagine that overall it leaves a stronger impression on people and results in more engaged conversation, so from a business perspective it's a skill I'm trying to develop..
I'm curious, do you tend to look people in the eye? How does it make you feel when you do it? How does it make you feel when people look you in the eye?
Also, excuse any typos, I've been drinking.
