By request: More gestures

How is looking into a person's eyes when you talk to them viewed? (In America it's considered attentive and desirable, but in Japan it can be taken as too agressive or rude like you're trying to stare the person down.)

Sekiyans take the American view around familiar people and those in positions of respect, but the gesture gets the Japanese meaning around people you don't know well
