He said that if I was walking down the street and saw someone like a hobo, to not look them in the eye, as they will think that I want to talk with them. I have learned a lot from this article. It made what I know gel and I have gathered a few tips. Thank you.

If someone stares at your in the eye, it is not a sign they are sincere. Staring is hardly sincere, it is more intimidating. But what do others think?

My place of work is dominated by men and almost all the senior positions are held by men. It is clear that the men look down up the women here. If a women were to look a male coleague in the eye then she is either flirting, after his job, or both. Mandy, you make a good point.

If I look a male colleague in the eye, it could be considered flirting. But there is no problem with a fellow female colleague. Similarly if a male colleague looks me in the eye, I am likely to think he is interested in me (some hope!) but not so with a fellow female one.

I wonder how many of us think about the cultural side of eye contact when we engage a person in conversation or a busness meeting? If I were to look my boss in the eye I would risk being dismissed for being rude. In some cultures, looking a person in the eye is considered rude.
