 When it comes to body language and success, eye contact is one of the most important aspect of it all. As they say, the eyes are our windows of our soul. That's why your it can say a lot about you--it only takes a look, without touching nor saying anything, yet can convey a lot of things. For some, it's pretty hard to maintain eye contact, so handle it with care.
So what does it say about you? There are 2 kinds of eye contact: The business gaze and the social gaze. Now, especially if you're a woman,you want to be respected, you mean business and you want to remain as such, then better use the business gaze.

If you look at someone's eyes with an imaginary triangle--with the mid-forehead as the apex and the eyes as the base, then you're doing a business gaze.
The social gaze meanwhile, can be used if you want to be more, well...social that is. If you want to be on a more sociable mode and appear friendly, then the difference is when you look at someone's eyes creating an imaginary inverted triangle this time, just under the eyes, covering the mouth and nose areas.
A caveat however. Though it's highly important to maintain eye contact, you don't want to intimidate somebody with your overly piercing stare. To lighten this, look away every now and then, and look back again. Also, try to move your stare at the bridge of their nose.
Eye contact is important, but also remember not to overdo it.
