The "triangle rule" or "triangular gazing" is a flirting technique that involves a specific pattern of eye movement.
Understanding the Triangle Rule
The triangle rule, as explained by Deon Black from The Knot, is essentially a non-verbal flirting method. It involves strategically moving your gaze across someone's face in a triangular pattern. Specifically, this means:
- Starting Point: Begin by looking into one of the person's eyes.
- Second Point: Shift your gaze to their other eye.
- Third Point: Finally, let your eyes drop down to their mouth.
- Return: Then, move your gaze back up to one of their eyes, completing the "triangle".
It is like playing "connect-the-dots" but using your eyes on someone's face.
How it Works
This method is thought to create a sense of intimacy and connection. The act of gazing at someone's eyes and mouth can be interpreted as interest and attraction. The subtle movements can be a powerful non-verbal signal, conveying more than words sometimes can.
Why Use It?
- Subtle Flirting: It's a non-invasive way to show interest.
- Creates Connection: The eye contact and movement draws attention.
- Builds Tension: The brief focus on the mouth can add an element of flirtatious anticipation.
While it is called the "triangle rule for girls", it is really a tactic that can be used by anyone trying to flirt or create connection.
