It is indeed an admirable sight and a feeling to have a man finding his way into the real behind the curtains of your eyes, but you are always the one in control of their entry pass.
If you too find yourself interested in him, then smile at him and look into his eyes to reassure him of you having the same feelings as him.
Feed his ego by flirting back and give him more confidence in himself, so that he continues his flirting.
However, if it is the other way around, then don’t lock eyes, and try to politely tell the guy that you are not interested in getting involved in a romantic relationship with him.
Don’t give the man a wrong idea just to pass your time or boost your ego by having him drooling over you, without you being sincerely interested in a mutual connection with him.
It’s love at first sight, ladies!
As much cringe-worthy and irrational may it sound, the phenomena called ‘love at first sight may still be existent in this world.

Their eyes glide to find yours, your eyes meet.
Yes, you caught them.
That moment, in which you may feel a sudden connection with a complete stranger, dears, is in most cases, extremely thrilling and jam-packed with anticipation.
A shy guy may look away the first time your eyes meet, but he’ll definitely look back at you if he likes you for real.
After all, when is love ever too careful?
However, if your staring guy is confident and straightforward, he’ll try to completely own how he feels about you.
He would try his best to elongate the temporal of the eye contact.
A man like that may even smile or wink along with your mutual locking of eyes.
Such acts may seem weird or intimidating, yet they may only be his way of letting you know that he is totally into you.
If you also feel the pull of love, return a smile and keep your eyes locked with him.
Furthermore, in that epic moment, dream of a happily ever after, together.
The guy could be trying to tell you something:
Looking someone in the eyes can be great way of telling something or gaining their attention, which means that a guy could try to look into your eyes in their efforts to tell you something substantial or to hold your attention.
Take it from here, he won’t call it quits if he is genuinely interested in you, meaning he will continue with his efforts to get to your eyes and stay in there.
However, a guy could also be staring at you without any romantic thoughts and feelings involved.
He could just be interested in something you may be saying, just admiring your thoughtful words.
A guy could also be trying to get your attention by directly looking into your eyes, for the purpose conveying something important.
It is also possible that he is trying to alert you of some impending danger or harmful thing coming in your way.
Although the chances are less, but it is possible for the staring guy to be nonverbally communicating with someone else.
Hence, before you get the wrong idea, just ask them if it is really you they are trying to reach out to, you do that by making weird faces, raising your eyebrows or simply widening your eyes in inquisition.
If the guy raises the eyebrow back or moves his head in affirmation, then it could really be the case that he is trying to communicate something to you.
Manipulation:
In this world where everyone cares only for their own benefits, people don’t hesitate to manipulate other innocent people to take advantage of them.
Unfortunately, some guys these days also engage in such tyranny. They deceive girls, manipulating and luring them into toxic relationships and fake promises of love, and then take advantage of the poor females when they are fully in love with them.
Guys like that may indulge in prolonged eye contact with you for the purpose of terrifying you and making you feel low of yourself, so that they may play their dirty cards.
If you happen to be in a relationship with some manipulative guy, he may use long eye contacts as a tactic to show his dominance and control over you.

Some guys may just lock eyes with you to assure you of their love, which is fake, and turns to ashes when they are done with fulfilling their sexual needs and satisfying their lust by taking advantage of your body and ignorance.
To display his dominance as a male:
Times are changing, societal and cultural norms too, but some men still try to boost their egos with the belief that they are the dominant specie in the society, and they also tend to very confidently exhibit and demand that dominance.
Guys like that try to show their dominance off in front of females in order to look more masculine, and hence to attract them.
They look at women in the eyes, and hold their gaze for long periods of time, to seem dominant and intimidating.
If a woman looks away, they tend to think they have won.
Some men would just engage in deep and prolonged eye contacts with you to beat you into submitting to them and their power, and taking them as your controllers.

However, if an eye contact with a guy becomes more prolonged than the normal amount, the guy has a strong urge for you to like him.
Perhaps, he acts the same way in front of other people too.
Still, if you think you think he is romantically interested in you, just check if he is treating others like he is treating you or not.
If you sense that you are getting a unique treatment, then perhaps he does have distinct feelings for you.
