I'm hopeless at small talk and have a problem making eye contact.

Making eye contact with adults while dressed as a clown is risky.

People simply don't make eye contact anymore.

You turned your head to the side. Faced me. Your eyes never left mine, I read them with ease. You said nothing to them, yet everything to me. I nodded.
But only when no one was watching.

Flirting all starts with eye contact! You can tell a girl is into you if she's across the room and still making eye contact with you.

We look at each other with shy relief. It's the look two odd socks give when they recognise each other in the wild.
