What does it mean when a guy looks at you a lot but doesn’t talk to you?

I’ve been noticing this guy in a few of my classes who has been staring at me a lot lately. The first time I noticed him staring was a while back, when he was leaning against a wall, and I happened to look over, and we held eye contact. Fast forward to this semester, we have 2 classes together, and in the first class, he sat in front of me, but kept looking back. So the first time he did that, I smiled and waved, and he smiled back. Anyway, according to the person who was sitting next to me, the guy kept turning back and staring at me. I saw him staring out of my peripheral vision, but I didn’t “look” to see who/where he was staring at. Then, our professor paired us up as partners for an assignment, and we didn’t really talk much (other than talk about the assignment) but he smiled a little more than usual, and he ended up asking me a question (not related to the assignment, but also not super personal). Anyway, I’ve seen him talk with other girls, and he seems completely fine. We’re in college, but he’s younger than me.
