"I've got my eye on you!"
These phrases in modern American English about "eye" are often about love and romance and
so they are not very well taught in high school or university so I want to review some of
them because when you listen to pop songs or popular songs you might hear some of these
kinds of phrases.
If you are "eyeing someone" that means you are looking at them and they are attractive
to you, you are interested.
Of if you are "giving someone the eye' that means you are at a party or some location
where you are kind of looking at them and trying to catch their attention, catch their
eye and see if they are interested in you.
Or you might say "When I first laid eyes on you" it was love at first sight.
This "laid eyes" means that you saw someone and they were immediately interesting for
you.
This phrase is "laid eyes on you" or you can "make eyes" at someone.
That's when you open your eyes and try and catch their attention.
I don't know if that works or not but that's the phrase to "make eyes" Or you can pledge
you love to someone "I only have eyes for you ..." that's an old song.
"I only have eyes for you" meaning you are only looking at at your sweetheart or the
person with whom you have romantic relationship and you are not looking around for someone
else.
You can also say "When I set eyes on her" - "set eyes" is like "laid eyes" meaning you
saw someone and you were immediately interested in them.
All of these phrases with "eyes" are important in modern American English and in English
"to have an eye" for something or to "eyeball" something - we use this a lot.
In English speaking countries, eye contact in conversation or when meeting someone is
very highly valued.
It comes from the old days from 600 years ago when you had the knights and warriors
they would wear a helmet and the helmet would have what is called a visor like that to protect
the eyes of the soldier when he or she was in combat and so if they met someone else
they would lift up their visor so that is where the salute comes from - they were showing
eye to eye contact with someone they might meet to show they were not going to attack
them.
So this tradition of looking people in the eyes when you are in conversation or meeting
them or when dating is a very important tradition in English speaking countries.
I thought I'd tell you that because eye contact is not highly used or as valued in some other
countries that are non-English speaking.
