What does it mean when I look at him to see what he’s doing or to see if he’s looking at someone else but I catch him looking at me mostly?

[alyssageline]

me and this guy i like do track together. i recently started liking him and i can't help myself and would always look to see him to see what he’s doing and to see if he’s looking at other people. but whenever i do i always find myself accidentally making eye contact with him from a distance, looking at me from the side, or would look at our coach/nature. what does that specifically mean? he used to avoid looking at me wandering off etc.. and would JUST look at me whenever he thought i wasn’t paying attention and i could tell it was on purpose but now everytime i ‘secretly’ look at him i see him look over at me. bonus one is that whenever my coach says my name out loud during practice i always look to his direction and from my peripheral vision i could see him immediately staring. opinions/advice/thoughts?

I think in these situations it’s important to remember to have self awareness and consider how the other person is interpreting your actions. As much as you feel like you keep catching him looking at you, I feel pretty certain he gets the same vibe as you. In the times that you “can’t help” but to keep looking, he’s likely noticing as well and also wondering why he keeps catching you look at him. It’s the same sort of logic as “if you can see them, they can see you”. Keep this in mind when you’re playing eye tag and maybe consider breaking the ice to go up to him.

Yes, he is looking at you. If yoi like him, then talk to him. Don't get bogged down overthinking staring... means very little.

Ma'am if i would be in the place of that guy i would have done the same.

It means that he has gained confidence in himself knowing that you like him back.
