What does it mean when a woman gives a man the eye?

It take it it means more than just looking at him?

It generally means she finds you attractive, however defining when a woman has given you the eye (or vice versa) is sometimes a little tricky and can sometimes be mis-interpreted (leading to embarrasing situations).

 

If you just take a mental note of how people look at each other when walking round the street, bus station etc you will probably notice that people are looking at each other all the time, but usually these looks only last for a second or two, and end abruptly if the other person notices and looks back, if the other person 'locks eyes', ie you both continue to look at each other without looking away then generally it is for one of two reasons, either you find each other attractive (or just interesting), in which case one or both end up smiling (usually both) or you are going to conflict and possibly end up fighting.

 

If you are being given the eye by a man and they then smile it is either because they find you attractive (take it as a compliment) or they think they recognise you. If he doesn't smile and you don't want a fight just look away (or do like I did once when I lost my glasses and stare too long and get beat up )

 

If you think you are being given the eye by a woman but are not sure , just hold the gaze for 1 to 2 seconds, smile then look away. NEVER stare for too long, and always try to end the look with a smile.

 

If in doubt a few shorter looks with smiles are much better.

 

Some other things that MAY help to see if she likes you are tilting her head down a bit and looking 'sheepish' or a slight tilt of the head as she looks away.

 

Key thing to avoid mistakes though, always end with a smile and never look for too long.

All sounds so complicated.

I'm afraid it is, but the good news is that most people can get the hang of it, our brains are actualy wired to understand this sort of stuff, and after you have made a few mistakes (we all do) you generally get to figure it out. Just try to not get too serious and freak anyone out and it'll probably come naturally after a while, remember Smile, that's probably the most important bit.
