Shy guy was making eye contact now avoids it again. What gives?

Ok, so he was flirting hardcore with eye contact. Finally worked up the courage to say hi. Super smiley but a little nervous when we talk about very mundane things but started totally avoiding eye contact again? Ugh. Whyyyyy?

*CLARIFICATION* Has gone from being comfortable to with eye contact from afar to being uncomfortable with it but fine with it up close.

So he's no longer petrified of my gaze but still seems uneasy. I think this thing of using up reservoirs of confidence is the thing with shy guys.

I confessed my liking and he confessed back. He was a little speechless.

Anyway turns out this guy is not shy but an unstable married dude and now he stalks me.
