Sometimes (on the rare occasions when neither of us is speaking) I would do that. I actually like doing it, I am not sure why. Perhaps it makes me feel connected. But she would eventually avert her gaze and look down at her notes and wait for me to speak. I think most people find having someone looking them in the eyes for a long period of time uncomfortable.
