Wow. I have absolutely no idea. I heard women's eyes dilate during ovulation. Do men ovulate? I should know that. Here's a body language site that claims our eyes dilate whenever we like someone, and contract when we don't. But keep in mind, that dilated guy might just "like you," and not "like you like you," and the pupil result would be the same.
This sounds like the kind of thing that might be true, but at the same time has no practical application. Why not? Because a guy's eyes will dilate if you enter a low light area, he's had coffee recently, or any number of reasons more common than his undying love for you.
Forget pupil dilation. If you want to know whether a guy likes you, there are much more regulated and easy to spot biological changes:
1. He gets an erection. Some risk of a false positive, as we tend to get erections if we sit the wrong way or a passing waitress reminds us of the chick from Species. But still, a better bet than pupil dilation. No one ever told their date "baby, you are making my pupils HUGE."
2. He hangs out with you, touches you, calls you...you know, dates you. Men are simple creatures. If we like you, you'll know it. Even if we're shy, we'll find underhanded ways to be in the same rooms as you as much as possible. If we're not doing any of that, we probably don't like you, no matter how raptor-esque our pupils become in your presence.
3. His Facebook relationship status is "it's complicated." I think this has been sufficiently assimilated into our lives to refer to it as a biological phenomenon, don't you? Which I believe technically makes us cyborgs. Awesome!
Next time you're staring deeply into a guy's eyes, try to enjoy the moment and forget about measuring his pupil width. All you'll do is creep him out, and then you'll be left alone with your shattered dreams and tiny eye tape measure.
How about the old fashon, drop something and bend over to pick it up infront of him, and have your friend tell you if he was looking at you?
Could also be a false positive. I know a lot of guys that would check your lady bits out even though they are not into you. Even worst if you bend over. I guess most of the time, it would not give you much more info than the fact that they are awake and not lost in their thoughts...
But it is always a fun way to tease ;)
Everyone's pupils dilate whenever they're interested in something or someone (at least they're "supposed" to). Also, because of this, people are pretty much naturally "wired" to be more attracted to individuals with dilated pupils, as it subconsciously registers that the dilated-pupil-individual is interested. Cleopatra realized this and used to apply some form of a poisonous plant to her eyes so that they would dilate and make her seem more attractive (I'm too lazy to look up the name of the plant or how she administered it).
I do think pupil dilation is a really arbitrary way to determine if someone likes you, but just wanted to put a little of the useless information floating around in my head from school out there.

Sorry for the annoying double post.
It wasn't just Cleopatra. Many women in the Middle Ages used to use belladona. It was so widely used, the name actually means beautiful lady. If overused, it could cause vision distortions and eventual blindness.
"All you'll do is creep him out, and then you'll be left alone with your shattered dreams and tiny eye tape measure.". Damn and I was getting all excited trying to find eye tape measure to buy online
When you're having sex with someone both your eyes will be diliated, but thats the only time I can confirm it, everywhere else, no clue.
Scientifically speaking, pupils dilate in response to the activation of our nervous system's "fight or flight" response. This response increases our body's energy overall and is what allowed our ancestors to size up situations so they could decide whether to engage in battle or run away....
In the world of romance, if a guy is calm and relaxed, his pupils should not be dilated. If they are dilated, it may be because he is extremely anxious, frightened, excited, or using substances that may be questionable in nature.
Only if he walks from a bright room to a dark one while thinking about how much he likes you.
I would feel weird looking at a guy's crotch just to see if he liked me or not. Besides, he could be thinking of this chick from porn and not really paying attention to the girl in front of him at all.
In my experience (with my last boyfriend) it is absolutely true!
