How can you tell if someone is checking you out vs just looking in your direction?

No one ever looks absent mindedly in ugly people's directions. If they're looking at you, they at least think you're attractive enough to rest their eyes on absent mindedly. It doesn't matter whether they were intentionally flirting or not. They at least unconsciously think you're attractive.

Based on your profile picture, he's probably checking you out.

That said, body language says more than most people realise, look for unconscious cues though. Mirroring is sometimes helpful for a first approach. Change the angle of your body so it's more open towards him and see if he moves to copy after a few moments. It's easy to fake once you know how to use it, so subconscious cues are a better thing to look for.

Talk to him. If he's wearing dark glasses tell him you want to see his eyes. Look for pupillary reaction - dilatation is usually attracted to you. It's involuntary - I've never heard of anyone being able to control it. Players know that so dark glasses - especially indoors - can be a bad sign. It can be masked with eye drops and some contact lenses. If his eyes say one thing and his body language says another, believe his eyes.

You can sometimes check by seeing if they mirror you, look at your watch or slightly yawn or touch your hair, if they are looking they will possibly do the same thing.

If their eyes go up and down they are probably checking you out.

it's tricky, but maybe try to move somewhere else and see if they are still looking in your direction?

You can tell by the way they look at you

Hiw did he or she look at you and I'll tell you if they liked you or not

Oh I’m not asking with a specific time in mind, just for future reference because I’m very blind to guys flirting with me or checking me out. However, I could provide you with some instances that have happened to me in the past.

There was this one time I was walking on the treadmill, waiting for my fitness instructor to return when my schools baseball team arrived for their meeting which was right after my class. When I was looking amongst them to see if I could find an old classmate of mine who was on the team, I noticed quite a few staring at me. Finally, when my instructor returned and I walked past the boys to get to my class, a lot of them kept staring at me, some even making eye contact with me.

But you knew they was into you

[Bklynbadboy12]

Right

Not really, I was just like ‘why are they all staring at me?’ And then a few hours later I was like ‘OH THAT’S WHY’😂
