When I talk to someone who can't (or won't) make eye contact with me, I wonder if the person is actually listening. If someone is talking to me without making eye contact, I wonder if they actually believe what they're saying.
If someone can't look into my eyes while we're talking, I take it as a sign that they're intimidated by me, or that they're uncomfortable around me. Why would I want to interact with someone that sends those kind of signs out?
