Can’t tell if your date is into you or not? Peer at her peepers: A woman’s eyes may provide clues about her romantic feelings, says new research from the University of Chicago.
In the study, participants looked at photos of people of the opposite s*x, then quickly determined whether the pics elicited feelings of s*xual desire or love. When participants felt “romantic love” from a photo, their eyes tended to linger on the face, but when their lust was stoked, they stared at the person’s body.
“People are not particularly willing, or able, to accurately report their feelings of lust vs. love, especially when in the presence of a partner,” says study author Stephanie Cacioppo, Ph.D. “Our results show that a person’s gaze shifts as a function of his or her goal—love vs. lust—when looking at a visual stimulus.”
Here’s how to use the trick to your advantage: If you notice a woman look at you quickly and then shift her gaze away, no big deal—you may have just caught her eye. But if her stare is intent, and focused on parts of your body, she might have lust on her mind.
