A Dangerous Look

What is this look and why exactly is it so damn dangerous?

Trick question though because you all know exactly what I’m talking about.

A dangerous look is ‘THE’ look. The look we have all given… or been given. The one that can make hearts… or break hearts.

It’s the look that can mean more than words and is often the auto green light for passionate yet unreasonable movement of the limbs.

It’s the look perhaps you got from the first person to ever have a crush on you... or that same look you perhaps gave to the new next door neighbour on first sighting.

It’s the look you get when passing someone in the street that happens to catch your eye… or the one you drunkenly give to the packed room of a club while you dance freely to your favourite tunes.

It’s the look you give the person who knows you best and the look they give you right before they kiss you.

It’s the look some of us love to give… and others of us love even more to receive.

That same look that many of us hate… and others of us encourage and embrace.

A ‘dangerous look’ is usually fun though… intentional or not, as it brings with it the mystery of the unknown and the excitement of what is sometimes even frowned upon.

It’s the danger in this look that in fact makes it so appealing… yet is also exactly what forms caution.

And I guess this dangerous look can be almost any look you want it to be, as long as it brings with it the intensity that only the eyes know.

So what do you do with it then?

People choose to do a number of different things with this look. Some use it to their advantage and know exactly how to work it. Others shy away from it for reasons that can vary from intimidation to fear of the end result.

But no matter the way in which a person chooses to use it or not, the key is noticing it’s presence at all.

There’s a distinct difference between a normal look and ‘THE look’ and it’s far too intense and has way too many meanings to be defined so precisely or directly.

But it is a look that I am sure you can relate to and next time you catch the eyes of someone else, stranger or not… and if your heart happens to skip a little beat… you may just be the victim of a dangerous.

Remember though… a little danger never killed anyone. It may actually just be the shake up your life needs.
