How it's used

Focuses on the mutual action of locking eyes or facing one another, often implying a moment of shared silence or tension. It is frequently used to describe romantic scenes or awkward encounters where words are not spoken. Unlike simply looking at someone, it emphasizes the reciprocal nature of the gaze.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean simply looking at someone, as it specifically requires the action to be mutual. If only one person is looking at the other, use 望住 instead.
