Namely, eye contact with people you aren't trying to seduce, but are still trying to project a dominant, friendly personality on. The little half-smirk, strong eye contact works well with women, but I feel like it projects the feeling that I'm hitting on someone. Obviously, I don't want that when I'm just talking to dudes. How do you guys do eye contact with your friends? Do you let your eyes 'soften' a bit more', blink more?
