I really like this guy and I have noticed that he often looks or stares at me when he doesn't think that I notice, but as soon as I look up he looks away. He was actually a professor of mine (not anymore) and is very young - about 5 years older than me. There were a number of times when he would look directly into my eyes with that "look", not in a sleazy way or anything, but I could tell that he saw me differently than other students. He has also gone out of his way to make me laugh and seemed really anxious to know that I thought he was funny.
While he would often act like that and always seemed happy to see me, the very next day he would never look at me or smile like he normally would. He just seemed not to notice me at all... It did seem that he was making a pointed effort not to look at me, but I don’t know if he acted like this because I misread him and he doesn’t actually like me or if he is unsure of how I feel about him and is afraid of rejection (he’s a really sweet guy). I am afraid of making myself too obvious and feeling like a fool if he doesn’t feel that the same way since I will be seeing him around, even though he is no longer my professor. What should I do? Why does he act like this - is he trying to avoid me because he dislikes me?
