Gazing: Looking at something shows an interest in it, whether it is a painting, a table, or a person. When looking at a person normally, the gaze is usually at eye level or above. The gaze can also be defocused, looking at the general person. Looking at a person’s mouth can indicate that you’d like to kiss them. Looking at sexual regions indicate a desire to make sweet, sweet love to them. Looking up and down at a whole person is usually sizing them up, either as a potential threat or as a sexual partner (take note to where the gaze lingers…) Looking at their forehead or not at them indicates disinterest. This may also be shown by defocused eyes where the person is “inside their head”, thinking about other things. It’s difficult to conceal a gaze as we are particularly adept at identifying exactly where other people are looking. 

Glancing: Glancing at something can betray a desire for that thing, for example, glancing at the door can indicate a desire to leave. Glancing at a person can indicate a desire to talk to them. It can also indicate a concern for that person’s feeling when something is said that might upset them. Glancing may indicate a desire to gaze at something or someone where it is forbidden to look for a prolonged period. 

Staring: Staring is generally done with eyes wider than usual, prolonged attention to something and with reduced blinking. It generally indicates particular interest in something or someone. Staring at a person can indicate shock and disbelief, particularly after hearing unexpected news. When the eyes are defocused, the person’s attention may be inside their heads and what they’re staring at may be of no significance. (Thus, the embarrassing moments that can follow afterwards). Prolonged eye contact can be aggressive, affectionate, or deceptive. Staring at another’s eyes is usually more associated with aggressive action. A short stare, with eyes wide open and then back to normal indicates surprise. The correction back to normal implies that the person would like to stare more, but knows that it’s impolite. 

Following: The eye will naturally follow movement of any kind. If the person is looking at something of interest, then they’ll naturally keep looking at it. They also follow neutral or feared things in case the movement turns into a threat. 

Squinting: Narrowing of a person’s eyes can indicate evaluation, perhaps considering that something told to them is not true (or not fully so). It can similarly indicate uncertainty. Squinting can also be used by liars who don’t want the other person to detect their deception. When a person thinks about something and doesn’t want to look at the internal image, they may squint involuntarily. Lowering of eyelids is not really a squint but can have a similar meaning. It can also indicate sleepiness. Lowering eyelids whilst looking at the other person can be a part of a romantic and suggestive cluster, and may be accompanied with tossing back the head and puckering the lips. 

Blinking: Blink rate tends to increase when people are thinking more. This can be an indication of lying as the liar has to keep thinking about what they are saying. Realizing this, they may also force their eyes open and appear to stare. Blinking can also indicate rapport, and people who are connected often black at the same rate.  A single blink can signal surprise that the person does not quite believe what they see. Rapid blinking blocks vision and can be an arrogant signal, saying “I’m too good to even look at you.” Rapid blinking also flutters the eyelashes and can be a coy and romantic invitation. 

Winking: A deliberate gesture that often suggests conspiratorial schemes. Winking can also be a slightly suggestive greeting and is a reminiscent of a small wave of the hand.
Closing: Closing the eyes shuts out the world. Sometimes, when people are talking, they close their eyes. This is an equivalent to turning away so eye contact can be avoided and any implied request for the other person to speak is effectively ignored. Visual thinkers may close their eyes, sometimes when talking, so they can better so the internal images without external distractions.
