Posted on May 10th, 2008

Where do you look when you are talking to a girl? Where do you think you should be looking? Does it matter where your eyes are? Believe me, if you want to be great with chicks, you need to have excellent eye contact…

Importance of eye-contact

Ok, so if eye contact is so important, what are some of the practical things you can do to enhance it and ensure that you are doing it correctly?
