Todo lo que debes saber sobre el contacto visual prolongado con un chico

I don’t know about you, but whenever I see a girl and a guy who are a legit couple or just started dating, I’m able to tell how much they are (or aren’t) fond of each other just by their way of locking eyes.

Regardless if you’re observing the special moment of prolonged eye contact in a movie or you’re experiencing it in person, you can feel the tension and sheer beauty of that moment.

Sientes que el tiempo se ha detenido y que sois las dos únicas personas que quedan en el mundo.

Suddenly, you don’t notice anything and anyone around you because that moment of prolonged eye contact shifts you to a completely different dimension.

It’s like your body starts producing electricity, and you feel like you’re going to explode or be electrocuted every second.

I could keep describing the power of prolonged eye contact for days, and still, I wouldn’t even cover half of it.

If you’ve ever experienced the special moment of prolonged eye contact from a guy, you have probably asked yourself multiple questions, and you’re still looking for answers.

Whenever a guy locks his eyes with mine for a few seconds, I can’t help myself but think: OMG ¿significa esto que realmente le gusto? ¿O quizás tengo algo en el ojo? ¿Me estoy imaginando cosas, o esto está pasando de verdad?

Si pudiera dejar de pensar demasiado por un segundo, sería la persona más feliz del mundo.

If you also feel the same way (and even if you don’t), today you’ll learn everything you need to know about the power of prolonged eye contact and why guys do it!

Eye contact is a powerful tool when it comes to catching someone’s attention.

Sí. ¿Conoces ese momento en el que entras en una habitación llena de gente y hay un tipo con el que accidentalmente te quedas mirando durante unos segundos y luego haces como si nada hubiera pasado?

I personally hate when this happens to me because it makes me feel vulnerable. Whenever I make prolonged eye contact with someone (especially a stranger), I feel like I’m naked.

It took me a while to realize that this actually makes perfect sense. The reason why I feel naked is because I’m literally staring at the other person with my bare soul.

They say that eyes are the window to the soul, and now I realize how true that cliché actually is.

Now let’s get back to that moment when you enter a room full of people, and that one guy is making prolonged eye contact with you from a distance.

Your body and mind start giving you mixed signals, your body language “goes wild,” and you can’t get rid of that warm feeling filled with anticipation and tension.

You continue acting as if nothing happened, but inside you’re burning from the desire to FIND OUT exactly why this happened.

Was it intentional or by accident? Is it possible to experience prolonged eye contact with someone you’re not interested in?

Here’s por qué un chico mantiene un contacto visual prolongado contigo:

El contacto visual prolongado es un signo de atracción intensa.

Yup, ladies. No one in the whole wide world would establish intense eye contact if there weren’t the slightest trace of attraction, affection, or whatever you want to call it.

These things don’t happen by chance.

Regardless if you’re in a relationship, dating, or they’re a complete stranger, the reason why he used prolonged eye contact is because algo le motivó a hacerlo, y que algo es la atracción.

Ahora bien, hay diferentes tipos de atracción, y todo depende de lo bien que os conozcáis.

If you’ve never met each other, your eye contact won’t be that intense, but still, you might experience those cheerful butterflies in your stomach and the feeling of warmth.

El contacto visual prolongado podría ser otra forma de definir el amor a primera vista.

Dicen que las almas gemelas se conectan a través de los ojos. Dos almas reconocen a su alma gemela al mirarse a los ojos. Yo personalmente nunca lo he experimentado, pero algunos de mis amigos y otras personas cercanas sí.

They described the feeling as being struck by lightning. I hope to experience the same thing one day. Till then, I’ll just say that eye contact is definitely one of the most powerful things in the world.

If you’re in a relationship, intense eye contact symbolizes deep trust, a powerful connection, and ultimate affection.

Hay muchos things he’s trying to tell you by using prolonged eye contacty una de ellas es sentirse agradecido por tenerte en su vida.

It’s when his love for you is so powerful that he can’t express it in words. You can see in his eyes how much he loves you without him even saying a word. When I was in a relationship, this was my favorite part.

I would lie next to my partner and look him deeply in the eyes for hours. Sometimes we would start laughing after a few seconds because staring at each other’s souls is not as easy as it seems.

Hace falta valor para ser abierto y sincero con el otro. Se necesita tiempo y paciencia para conectar con el otro a tantos niveles.

If you’ve just started dating, intense eye contact is a surefire sign that your romance is evolving.

Puedes esperar que se produzca un contacto visual intenso en la primera cita, en la segunda o en la décima. Aquí no hay reglas. Cada romance se desarrolla a su propio ritmo.

Así que, si acabas de empezar a salir y ya has tenido momentos especiales de intenso contacto visual, es una gran señal de que tu romance se está convirtiendo en algo más significativo.

It is a sign that you’re developing a strong attraction toward each other, and it’s only a matter of time until you’ll become a legit couple and start saying those three words.

El contacto visual prolongado también es un signo de confianza.

¿Te has encontrado alguna vez a una persona tímida o con poca confianza en sí misma mirándote a los ojos? Puede que ocurra a veces, pero las probabilidades son realmente bajas.

So, if a guy makes prolonged eye contact with you, this also means that he’s self-confident. You may not think of it at first because you’ll be too busy thinking about other things like Does he like me or not?

Míralo de esta manera: This confident man wants you to notice that he’s looking at you.

If he weren’t interested in you at all, he wouldn’t bother looking at you. It’s as simple as that, so no need to overthink it.

Ahora, permítanme expresar mi aprecio por los hombres seguros de sí mismos que saben mostrar afecto.

I personally think that there’s nothing hotter than that. When a guy gives me that intense look, I can’t help myself but instantly shiver (of course, if I like him back).

Here’s an interesting hypothesis: You might not be aware of the fact that he’s self-confident, but you know it on a subconscious level. So, maybe that’s the reason why you start liking that one guy you wouldn’t notice under regular circumstances? Hmm…

I’m not a relationship expert, but I know one thing: El contacto visual intenso puede arruinar tu vida o convertirla en un cuento de hadas.

You cannot know which one of the two you’ll experience until you connect with them on a deeper level.

He aquí algunos DATOS interesantes sobre el poder del contacto visual:

¿Sabías que mantener el contacto visual anima a los demás a ser más sinceros contigo?

Si alguna vez ha intentado mentir a alguien mirándole a los ojos, sabrá lo difícil, si no imposible, que es.

There is something interesting about it. When we don’t look someone in the eye, we find it easier to lie to them.

But when we do, we suddenly feel as if their soul is judging us through their eyes. It’s funny because it’s true.

El contacto visual ayuda a los demás a recordar tus palabras y acciones.

Cuando establecemos contacto visual al comunicarnos, esto nos ayuda a recordar todo lo que dicen o hacen durante una conversación.

¿Por qué? Probablemente porque cerrar los ojos hace que la conversación sea más significativa y memorable.

Si quieres saber cómo se siente realmente una persona, sus ojos te lo dirán.

This is my favorite fact. We often rely too much on other people’s body language but somehow keep neglecting what their eyes are telling us.

If you ask someone how they feel, their words can tell you anything, but you’ll know the truth when you look into their eyes.

“Eye contact is way more intimate than words will ever be.” – Faraaz Kazi

Indeed, eyes can tell us when someone likes us (or dislikes us), when they’re happy or sad, and much more.

Los ojos pueden decirnos cosas que las palabras nunca podrán. Se necesita un corazón abierto y honesto para poder mirar a alguien a los ojos y permitirle ver dentro de su alma.
