Do girls repeatedly look at guys that creep them out?

[Anonymous]

There's a girl at my school that seems uncomfortable around me and crosses her arms when she sees me. She keeps on staring at me with a completely blank expression whenever we pass each other in the halls. When I walk behind her she looks over her shoulder at me repeatedly. I also notice that she takes a lot of quick glances at me from far away.

I noticed that we have a lot of the same hallway routes so maybe she thinks I'm following her and she's creeped out? I feel kind of weird about it and I'm considering switching my hall routes to avoid her.
And just to clarify - I'm pretty sure she has a boyfriend so I don't think the looking is because she likes me.

To answer your question directly: Yes, people may repeatedly look at someone who makes them feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Usually to track their movements and ensure their own safety.

However, there is an important aspect here that you need to realize: In order for you to notice her crossing her arms, staring with a blank expression, even looking over her shoulder and taking quick glances from far away, you have to be actively (and intensely) observing her as well.

You can’t accurately document that level of specific expressions/actions and her behavior changes from a distance or just through your peripheral, since that detects broad movement, not a "completely blank expression" or the exact frequency of far-away glances. To catch those details, you are looking directly at her just as much as she’s looking at you.

If she already feels uncomfortable, noticing that you are constantly watching her back is only going to heighten her anxiety and confirm her suspicion that you are paying too much attention to her. In any case, switching your hallway routes is the best way to give each other space, and also may clear up any misunderstanding without escalating anything or creating tension.

Yes, we frequently wonder what the hell your problem is.

Come up behind her in the hall and grab her boobs. That way you will be able to tell what her feelings are about you.
