Dr. Tara Swart, senior lecturer at Massachusetts Institute at Technology (MIT), said looking in your date’s left eye can strengthen an emotional connection.
Swart used a mother holding her baby as an example of how emotional bonds are first formed through the eyes.
“Most people are right-handed so they’ll be holding their baby in their left arm, so they can use their dominant hand to do stuff,” she told Steven Bartlet, the host of The Diary of a CEO podcast.

She then went on to explain how staring in a person’s left eye triggers the part of the brain responsible for emotion.
