Eye contact is very important when you communicate with people. By looking at the other person eyes when you are talking to them or listening to them is not purely just a good manner, it is to create a rapport with them. Eyes are link to the soul of a person and I really belief in that. In more practical term, eyes are connected to human brain. You can know the person interest in your speech by looking into the eyes or you can show your interest to the person by sending "signals" from your eyes to the speaker.
Normally, you talk when you look at the person. But have you ever tried blank stare? Staring or looking into someone eyes that you love is not a blank stare. When couples look into each other eyes without talking, signal waves are transmitting and receiving from both parties to get rapport or layman term call "shock". I tried staring into a person which I totally don't know, new met for 1 minute. A 1 minute of blank stare with him is really uncomfortable especially we can't speak and only can smile to each other. When the person you are staring is the same sex as you, even worse!
However, this practise can help you to become easy when you speak with stranger or talking in the stage or in public.
