Eye contact is a powerful indicator of interest and attention from "summary" of The Definitive Book of Body Language by Barbara Pease,Allan Pease

Eye contact is a powerful indicator of interest and attention. When someone is interested in you or what you are saying, they will maintain eye contact with you. This signifies that they are focused on you and are actively engaged in the conversation. On the other hand, if someone avoids eye contact or looks away frequently, it may indicate disinterest or distraction. Eye contact can also convey different emotions and intentions. For example, prolonged eye contact can signal attraction or flirtation. When someone is romantically interested in you, they may hold your gaze for longer periods of time. Conversely, when someone is angry or hostile, they may use intense eye contact to intimidate or assert dominance. In addition to indicating interest and emotion, eye contact can also establish a connection between individuals. Maintaining eye contact shows that you are present and attentive in the moment. It can help to build rapport and trust between people, as it conveys sincerity and openness. Conversely, avoiding eye contact can create a sense of unease or distrust, as it may be perceived as evasive or untruthful. It is important to note that cultural differences and individual preferences can influence the meaning of eye contact. In some cultures, prolonged eye contact may be considered rude or aggressive, while in others it may be a sign of respect. Additionally, some people may feel uncomfortable with intense eye contact and may prefer to look away or maintain less eye contact during conversations.
