I'm way too neurotic for that. Even during job interviews I tend to have dialogue with my shoes! I think it's a side effect of having one of those mothers who gave me the third degree as a kid, she could tell everything I did wrong at school just by looking at my eyes! IF THEY CAN'T SEE MY EYES THEY CAN'T GET TO ME!!!! Sorry to burden you with my eye-contact hangups... I am getting therapy for this!

Derren thought the system worked. I would now like to quote Albert Einstein who once said 'You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.' I would now like to suggest this as the title of a show: 'Roulette: Derren Brown vs Albert Einstein'. Now that's entertainment!!!!!

Staring, however, needn't be creepy. Depends on the context. Staring at one another can be a fun way of flirting, if it's done right, and if both parties participate. I agree it can also be uncomfortable/creepy, though, and it's impolite to randomly stare at someone if it obviously makes them uncomfortable. Diana: I totally agree with your second paragraph.

No staring for me, thank you. A rather uncomfortable feeling. Staring at someone, whether you lust after them or not, is just bad manners. Personally, I don't think someone in true love would want to stare into their beloved's eyes all day. That’s rather unhealthy. You have a life of your own, you get on with it, but at the same time you are considerate to your love one. i.e. try to meet their needs, make sacrifices and vice versa. Sarah, I totally agree.
