Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to share with me your opinion concerning the following sentences?

Married two weeks and got the eye?
He gives all women the eye.
I gave the woman in the restaurant the eye but she ignored me.
give the eye = get the eye = do a sexually inviting or give a provocative look

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V

Give someone the eye - look or stare at someone with interest.

Married two weeks and got the eye - meaning instead of being faithful to each other, they tend to look around at other men or women.

Eye is an important sensory organ of the body. One can produce several types expressions through eye movement. Give somebody the eye is an universal practice of looking at someone in a way that communicates romantic interest. You can also give someone the evil eye or glad eye.
