Why do some people's eyes create that 'falling in' effect, as if they expand to fill your awareness, and other's do not?

Not so much pupil dilation, but when the color and texture of someones eyes suddenly grabs all of you attention.

I believe that's generally caused by you fancying them

As someone who can't experience that,is there a way to force it? I swear it feels like I'm a robot or sociopath or something.

Pain causes pupils to dilate, so slip a thumb tack in your shoe, establish eye contact and lean on it. Boom, heightened pulse, dilated pupils. Also works to cheat the lie detector.

Kinda like you're zooming in or panning closer with a camera? Yeah, sounds like someone really caught your interest.
