its been on here 1000 times but some people still dont get how important this can be.

Looking directly into a lovers eyes is like looking into fire. As Nietzsche put it"if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." Thanks to a shot of adrenaline your palms sweat, your breathing gets shallow, your skin feels hot, and your pupils dilate. Yoour amygdala, the centrew of the brain that processes emotion blazes with activity. at the same time you produce dopamine, a "feel-good" neurotranmitter that is associated with passion and addiction, and oxytocin, a hormone related to bonding. So intense is the mutual gaze that theres only one way to amp it up: deeply penetrate your partners eyes during slow rhythmic sex.

********The most fascinating theory about eye gaze is that just the act of doing it can enhance, or even initiate, a feeling of love.*********

Many years ago the behavioral psychologist arthur aron put opposite sex college students in a room and asked them to reveal intimate details of their lives: their most embarrassing moments, what theyd do if their parents died, and so on. then he paired them up, man and woman, and told them to lock eyes for four minutes. no talking, no smiling--just gazing. Later Aron quizzed the students on how they felt about their partners. ****Deeply attracted most said, so deeply that a couple that were strangers on the day of the experiment allegedly got married six months later.*****

According to the facial feedback hypothesis, you might feel tenderhearted toward people after gazing into their eyes because you are acting like a person in love. if anyone saw you softly gazing at someone, theyd think you were in love. youre conscious of the facial muscles that create the expression on the face that everyone seesand you internaalize it, your neural reward circuits fire up, and you FEEL how you ACT. its no wonder that professional actors whose characters are in love often fall in love with each other on the set.
