coz i think i am...been in the comp lab from 2pm till now trying to prepare powerpoint slides for tomorrow morning's presentation, seems that i'm the only one who's working on it
oh anyway, it seems that i can look @ girls (in the eyes) i dont know personally for a long time but not @ female friends
for e.g., i was talking to my group mate just now and while she was giving her opinions, i kept looking away from her eyes..i looked down at the paper or just at random stuffs like the printer next to me etc.
i know its not courteous to look away when someone's talking to you, i thought you're supposed to look @ their face when in a conversation..comments thoughts opinions?

haha I do that too. It's just weird. A few years back one of the girls actually asked "howcome you never look at me when talking to me?". lol
I just said "i dont know. I never look at anyone straight in the face."
But i've gotten better at it. Practice makes perfect.

you're just shy maybe?

i had that problem when i was in junior high......

best solution is just practising....haha.....just try to look at her once...i'm sure she's not ugly or anything....

its actually really good to look at people in the eyes... you guys gotta do it cause then the persons going to think they intimidate you when they look at you in the eyes... you dont want that

dont get me wrong, i always try and i've looked at my female friends when we're chatting..but never for a long time, i would always look somewhere or at some random things (like 90% of the time)...here's my problem i guess:
1.) i tend to look away every time i'm talking to female friends who are ugly, so that i wont have nightmares or throw up on the spot
2.) i tend to look away every time i'm talking to cute girls coz i'm afraid that i would fall for them
so no matter what i would always look away from chicks when talking to them dammit!! note: i'm not gay!! maybe i just want to be as cool as horatio (dunno how to spell his name) from csi miami, he seldom looks at the people he's talking to
ok practice makes perfect, i'll try that!! thanks for the advice buddies

I have found, IMHO, that people who are unable to look you in the eye (or people who can't stand still or jitter during a conversation) have severe honesty/trust issues and tend to have little to no integrity. I would work on your social skills with girls quickly because as you grow older, women might not trust you because you can't look them in the eyes.

you gotta practice in front of a mirror. eye contact is a big plus for hotter women, cuz they know that lesser men can't do it.

no offense or anything
