Where do you look when you're talking to more than one person?
I was just remembering this time I met an internet friend for the first time. I joined him and his wife for dinner. They sat on one side of the table, and I sat at the other with my daughter. I'm not shy, but he told me later that I came off that way, because I didn't make tons of eye contact. The thing is, I have no clue who to look at in that type of situation!
People have told me, "Look at the person you're talking to." What if you're not talking to one specific person? I've also been told, "Look at your friend." And what, ignore his wife? That seems terribly rude.
I'd love to know- what do you do in this situation, and... does anybody know what you're supposed to do?
