When talking in a group across a table, look at the tip of the nose. this way u wont get distracted and it still appears as if u r looking into their eyes

I like looking to the person's eyes, but not like ALL the time. Balance is the key, as usual. If you never look at the other's eyes, it's seen as a lack of attention, respect, etc. But if you are looking at your counterpart all the time...it can be awkward and uncomfortable for him/her as well. Common sense tells us when it's appropriate or not to look into the other's eyes.

I try to look someone in the eye when I talk to them but I am very uncomfortable around people I don't know and find it hard to do sometimes just because I am shy with people I don't know well .
But it is polite if someone asks you a question and you at least look at them to indicate that you are paying attention to what they have to say .

When talking with others,the best time to watching other people's eyes is about two-thirds of the talking time.If you gaze at the eyes all the while,you seem take others as your enemy.

looking at eyes while talking to other is good thing!! that show that you are interested in the conversation and have confidence on yourself.
its also good for putting your view clearly. if you look at the eyes and talk to people they will listen to you very carefully.
thanks

Yes, I look at people's eyes when I speak to them.

yes i agree, it is polite, and shows you are interested in what they are saying.
i try to look people in the eye a lot, but when i was younger i was too shy!
but i think in some countries, it is impolite to look someone in the eye, isn't it? especially if the person you look in the eye is superior to you.

During the talking,there is eye contact or not,it shows their interest in or friendly.If the other side does not do that way,means that it is not interestinged in or close to their sense.In contrast,when we are walking on the road.we stare at strangers has been found,would certainly feel uneasy and even feel fear.
