How do you know if you are "connecting" socially with another person? Is there a particular emotional feeling or instinctive feeling? Do they or you behave in a particular way?

I know it from when I can relax with the person.

I'd like to think that I am connecting when I feel a certain way, but at times I found out after the fact that the person was irritated or whatever. I only know what I feel, and that may or may not have any connection to what's really going on.

When I don't feel anxious/stressed/weird around him/her. I also found I tend to have better eye contact with people whom I 'feel' closer to.
