Is he staring at me on purpose or is he zoned out?

Anonymous

I have 4 classes with my crush. I have seen him staring at me every day for the past 2 months in 3 out of the 4 classes. (The other class he sits behind me, so I can’t see him). The stares last anywhere from 1-4 seconds. He doesn’t smile when he stares, but sometimes has starry eyes or a look of awe. When I stare back, sometimes he breaks first and sometimes me. He stares at me in group convos regardless of whether I’m speaking or not. One time my friend asked him a question in a group convo and he replied to her while looking at me. I have caught him telling jokes/laughing with friends and then looking over at me.

I feel like he’s genuinely looking at me, but also questioning whether he could be zoned out. What do you think?
