I get the point is to be wholesome, but... I know she doesn't know me. Worse, I am quite sure she wouldn't bother smiling at me back, so how is this even supposed to work?
I've never gotten the whole "eye contact" thing, especially during dumb conversations with friends and shit. Feels weird as fuck. Asian people don't do the eye contact shit either from what I hear and it's probably unnatural unless talking to a significant other. I truly wonder if it's something ancient humans had done or if it's just some modern bullshit.
