There's a boy in my university class, who always stares at me from across the room. I thought he might just be lost in his thoughts and not notice me. But then I eventually saw him doing the same outside on campus. It was so intense that I almost always had to look away, though I'm usually good at keeping eye-contact. At first I thought he had a question or something but he was not talking to me, only to his friends next to me. He did like this until I approached him today. We teamed up for group work in class, and finally started to talk to each other. Eventhough we had pretty funny conversations and we kept talking throughout the breaks as well, he just did not look into my eyes. Even while listening to me, he kept looking at the table in front of me, at my hands all the way up to my lips, but only glimpsed twice into my eyes, quickly dropping his gaze back to the table again. He seemed to have a hard time actually. I feel like this is really confusing, I don't know if he either likes me or if he's actually annoyed by me. I feel like "Body language clues" don't help the situation either, because this also changes based on the physical distance between us. Anybody with some advice?
Why does he stare at me all the time but can't look at me while we're talking?
