Eye contact is important because people think eyes are the windows to the soul.
In order to satisfy whatever hangups they have, you have to look them in the eyes.
It isn't anything really important, but they think it matters. So humour them -- it doesn't take much work to do meaningless social gestures, and not doing them makes people feel wierd.
