steady gaze
Fixed eye contact
A steady gaze is a fixed, unwavering look directed at someone or something.
It suggests focus, confidence, or intensity—neither blinking away nor shifting nervously: She held his steady gaze without flinching.
A steady gaze can convey authority, honesty, or romantic interest, but also intimidation or challenge depending on context.
