Strong eye contact is important, but you don't want it to look like you are creepy at the same time. Even though I am really paying attention to what the other person is saying and I hold strong eye contact, I don't have a very expressive face so my eyes don't tend to move much when I'm listening. All I do is make a few nods and smile, which I guess indirectly moves my eyes a bit. I just don't want to seem creepy or that I'm looking too deep into their eyes. Someone once told me when talking to someone to look into their eyes for 7 seconds at a time, then look away for a second, then repeat. I've found this works fairly well. I just tend to get pretty uncomfortable when listening to a person and making too strong eye contact, like as if I'm creeping the other person out. Funny enough though, when I'm speaking to someone who demonstrates strong eye contact towards me, I always think they're interested but not too interested as in being creepy. So I guess really I have nothing to worry about! About the eye contact, I’ve heard various things. Strong eye contact is important, but you don’t want it to look like you are creepy at the same time.

I was debating put him in the post and decided against it. I loved him as a politician, but he lacked some qualities that I decided against it. That is so funny.
