I can hold Eye Contact but nothing comes to mind

[BeDJ]

Well It's very easy for me to hold eye contact with a girl during a conversation with her holding it with me. However, Whenever I hold eye contact for a over 4 seconds, I end up with understanding nothing she said, and when I try to answer a question that requires SOME thinking while holding eye contact, I get somewhat blank like my head ain't operating.

Is this because I am concentrating too much energy on eye contact?

You are thinking about it too much. Just relax and listent to what she is saying, hopefully you are able to concentrate on more the one thing at once.

look at the side of her eyes, or the top of the nose. she will think ur looking at her eyes

when you hold ec for 5 seconds and your mind is drawing a blank, so is hers. And when you walk up all that is going through her mind is "OMG, he's actually coming over! omg omg omg!" Just have a canned opener and roll with the punches til the both of you get more comfortable. No one expects a perfect opener so just say something

MF, I think you might be right about her part cause she was stuttering and saying "uh....uh...uh".

No it was not like an approach, just some girl in my class who I decided to approach and told her to be my partner for a project.

How do I STOP drawing blanks, because my mind is drawing blanks even on some questions I know the answer to and I would say it right if it weren't for the eye contact

hb: what's your name?
you: uh...uh...um...

lol. i know what you guys mean though, just don't think about it much, and try to focus on what she is saying. that way, you'll naturally make ec without thinking about it.
