The eyes of another person can reach our soul and reveal a lot of information about our moods, emotions and desires. Interestingly, different types of eye contact are used to convey certain emotions and feelings. Often these things happen naturally when someone looks deeply into our eyes.
Maybe you’ve experienced it yourself: a mysterious man looks you long and deep in the eyes, after which he looks away for a moment. Now you’re probably wondering why someone looks at you so deeply, without taking any action? At least, for now. Because the deep look does have an underlying thought. And that these can even be multiple underlying thoughts, you’ll find out today.

Eye contact is… powerful
Prolonged eye contact or looking deeply into someone else’s eyes is the most powerful form of human contact – without any physical action involved. Humans have found an extremely subtle way to convey their emotions and desires through the eyes. And that only by making deep eye contact .
What the eyes radiate is namely a part of body language in which people find it difficult to hide their emotions. The eyes are even so powerful that sometimes one look is enough to read the emotions of another. A look says more than a thousand words, so to speak. Eye contact is particularly powerful.

7 Reasons Why He Looks At You For Long
Although it is of course exciting to have – or so it seems – a secret admirer, there are various reasons why a man can look at you for a long time. And one is more innocent than the other. But not all of them are so innocent. We will discuss 7 with you:
1. He does it unconsciously
You’ve probably noticed that people lose track of their immediate surroundings in the middle of a conversation. A man who is completely absorbed in a conversation with you is unconsciously staring deeply at you, because his thoughts are wandering at the moment. Don’t be fooled: this happens very often unconsciously. It can be a way of showing you that you have his full attention, without him realizing that he is staring at you or looking at you just a little too intensely.
2. He takes the first ‘step’
This scenario is common for shy people who have feelings for each other. Sometimes the shyness is one-sided and he doesn’t know how to approach you , so he just stares at you to get your attention. What is he trying to achieve with that steady, penetrating gaze? To let you know that he’s interested.
Mostly men use this form of body language when they are not sure whether the woman they are attracted to is interested or not. Or when there are other people around who are actually in the way, while he does not dare to take the step himself to approach you. If the interest is mutual, you can of course do exactly the same and look deeply into his eyes.

3. He just wants attention
Men prefer to be visually stimulated and will use any means possible to achieve this. Sometimes they will use a deep and persistent gaze to make sure you notice them. This is often the case with married men who just want some attention and to see if they are still marketable.
Some men even go so far as to look at you shamelessly while their partner is sitting next to them. The eye wants something too and by staring at you he is basically doing nothing wrong. And yet it tickles.
4. He flirts with you
Making eye contact is one of the oldest tricks for flirting . Although the trick is of course centuries old, it requires a lot of confidence on the part of the man. He is so confident that he thinks his gaze is irresistible. For this to work, however, there has to be some kind of chemistry between the two of you. In order to maintain a long-term fixed gaze, he has to be stimulated every now and then by a look or perhaps even a smile back. Are you attracted to him? Then all you have to do is look back.

5. He probably has a crush on you
Shy guys usually have trouble literally closing their eyes to girls they are attracted to. That is why the expression: ‘He has a crush on you’. The long and deep look therefore has something of nervousness or insecurity about it. This man may even have feelings for you and is trying to let you know by staring deeply at you.
You may have noticed that when your eyes meet, the man starts to act confused and busy. These are usually signs of being in love and the looks are the result of an (as yet) unrequited crush.
6. He wants sex
Imagine if he were to tell you right out in front of his or your friends that he wants to have sex with you . Of course, that would lead to some unusual scenes, but with a sultry look, his eyes can also tell you what he wants — without making people around you jump up in surprise. Couples also like to use it to let their partners know that they are in the mood for lovemaking.
It can therefore also be a useful tool for foreplay to turn you on and get each other in the mood. If the deep look is followed up with an actual conversation, you will soon notice that his words will be sexually tinged.

7. He’s obsessed with you
There is a clear line between love and obsession . Some people have an obsessive crush on someone else and you don’t even have to know each other. In your case, it is possible that your personality completely takes over his mind and makes him so upset that he can’t stop himself from staring at you.
Obsessive signs are not so easy to recognize, but it could be the case. Anything that is obsessive is best avoided and that also applies to this man. Because while some penetrating looks are very pleasant, others are anything but.
