Can you flirt or fall in love just by staring at someone’s eyes?
I remember the first time I fell in love at first sight. There was something about his eyes that captured my attention. I kept staring at him and then turning my head away quickly, a bit nervously. When we finally started talking, it turned out we had the exact same eyes.
I wrote about that experience in my first published book. It wasn’t just about the eyes. It included perpetual smiles as well.
Perhaps I can say we fell in love at first eye-sight. We still talk about the sparkle in our eyes that brought us together to this day. Research has backed up this theory that you can fall in love with someone just through eye contact.
Then again, there are songs about eyes, such as You’re Too Good to be True, Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You, Brown Eyed Girl, Green Eyes Lady, These Eyes, Spanish Eyes, and the list goes on.
Both men and women are visual. Either the see something or someone they like, or they don’t. This is why popular dating apps such as Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are so popular and singles are swiping right in record numbers. At Cyber-Dating Expert, we recommend that you ditch those sunglasses in your online dating profiles and mobile apps, and make sure your potential date can stare into your sparkling eyes.

Hi Julie,
I wrote a blog a couple of years ago called “The Eyes Have it.” There’s something about the eye lock. I get butterflies thinking about it with the men I have loved, and mostly with my boyfriend of 5 months (met via Tinder), who I believe is my soulmate. Here’s my version: http://juststeph.com/the-eyes-have-it/. Thanks for your articles!
