Agreed. I tend to look people in the eye when they’re talking but somehow cannot do the same when I’m talking. Especially if I’m talking off the top of my head.
Exactly. They want someone with the force of character, however small, to maintain eye contact. It isn’t an inherently positive trait, it’s simply a trait.
On the other hand I’ve met several girls who said they find eye contact (while having a conversation, not just random eye meet cutes) creepy. Granted we were teenagers when having these discussions, wonder if they still feel the same way.
Real answer: practice holding eye contact

I knew it was hopeless.
when i go on dates i’m shocked how many women can’t hold eye contact, and yet on their profile they say how much they like men who can.
it’s almost as if people project their inabilities/insecurities onto their potential partners…
To them, you can hold eye contact, so it’s working as they prefer.

they like eye contact from hot people, and find eye contact from ugly people creepy.
