This staring happens for singles at Eye Gazing Parties. For an allotted amount of time, singles gaze into each others eyes without saying a word while music plays in the background. Each session usually lasts about two to three minutes per pair. After the staring portion is over, you can talk to the person who got your attention. Just imagine it like speed dating without the talking.

A man named Michael Ellsberg started this interesting dating party in New York. After studying dance, he realized that the importance of eye contact on the dance floor can also be used for dating. The Eye Gazing Parties are meant to be fun, interesting and intense. Whether or not it’s something you would be interested in is another story.

I remember playing the staring game as a child. It’s the game where you and your friend sit across from each other and stare into each other’s eyes until someone blinks. I always lost at this game. I would always start to laugh in less then a minute or I would get bored and lose interest and just blink. If I were single, I wouldn’t consider doing this. I would burst out in a fit of laughter seconds into it. Either that or I would be incredibly creeped out.

Everyone has been on the singles scene at one point or another. The first time you meet someone is usually included with questions of “Where do you work?”, “Where do you live?”, and “Where are you from?” which are questions that, while important, aren’t going to usually trigger that earth shattering connection. Singles get tired after awhile of hearing the same starting conversations over and over again just with different people.
