I find a fair amount of girls don't look away. they keep staring into my eyes, like they don't register that I'm looking at them now. I usually feel awkward in the situation and look away after like a few secs.
I can relate to that
This stares are kind of creepy
I second that! Some girls just keep looking straight at you, and it makes me feel awkward and self conscious. I usually look away after a few seconds too. I don't know what to do otherwise. It is just too weird.
I don't even know what this stare means... Does it mean they are into me? I don't know... They look at me like I am something weird, but not threatening enough for them to look away. Especially younger girls (under 20) seem to do this.
I come across this quite frequently. My interpretation is as follows:
a) If they stare while doing something extremely seductive, (lightly licking lips, etc.), then they are an attention whore and are only fucking with my mind for their own gratification.
b) If they stare and are rooted to the spot like a deer in headlights, they are mine to take if I so desire (for that moment, anyway). This is involuntary, animalistic attraction, totally beyond their control. They have no choice. If I maintain my awareness, I realise that I am also caught in this. I feel a very subtle kind of "energy" or "vibe" (don't know what else to call it) between us, where I feel compelled (at a primal level) to move towards them and take them right there on the spot, and they are compelled at that same primal level to stand there and submit to me, with no resistance. This, to me, is the most "natural" of these.
c) If they stare and smile in an overtly welcoming way. I see this as a combination of a) and b) above, albeit with a bit more a) than b).
Of course, there are varying degrees to this (and probably some other types that I have not yet encountered).
a (and c to a lesser extent) are turnoffs for me (a doesn't happen at all these days, but c happens to me very frequently). But b), when it happens, is a beautiful experience, but to be totally honest, it seems so intense that I have never followed through on it (memo to self: need to work on my sense of deservedness...)
I have not been returning any eye contact lately; I just look away (sometimes a little disdainfully). My recent observations (like the one I opened this thread with) have led me to a state of mild disgust over the amount of fronting that women do. Their fronting seems both counter-productive and childish, and my (admittedly also childish) attitude towards them is currently "well, if you want to place so many obstacles between yourselves and I, you obviously don't want or deserve someone of my standard". I see this as more post-red pill hostility on my part, and will just continue to observe what I am feeling and see if it evolves and/or dissolves.
In any event, my focus right now is still on simply observing and analysing - Kidd!! and 'Grinus are 100% correct in maintaining that we have to focus on who wants us instead of who we want (this makes sense on SOOOOOO many levels), and the issue therefore becomes one of being aware of the various subtle (sometimes almost imperceptible, although my first post in this thread shows that it's not impossible to pick these up) signs of attraction (as well as which ones are deliberate misdirection on their part), as opposed to "That chick is checking me out. I gotta strike while the iron is hot." You know, this is why women run circles around most men; most guys (even "players") are so totally blinded by the opportunity to lay a "hot chick" that they do not treat even ONE of their experiences as a learning opportunity. Therefore, whether symp or player, whether they get laid once or 100's of times, THEY NEVER LEARN ANYTHING.
Any clarifications or corrections to the above by the more experienced members of this forum would, of course, be welcome.
