How can a stare convey lust and attraction?

[Anonymous]

What does a particular stare communicate, such as: "I want you," "I'm interested in you," or "I want to date you"? It's like trying to make the first move without having spoken to each other. I'm curious about what kind of stare you would use to express this to her.
Is there a difference?
What would it mean if you just stare without saying or doing anything? Could you explain that kind of stare?

There was one girl that when our eyes met, weird things happened. Time would almost freeze, and I would get butterflies in my stomach. I mostly didn't try to make eye contact with her. It mostly seemed to happen organically. Nothing similar has happened with anyone else.

Prolonged eye contact is an invitation.

Invitation to what? I'm sorry I don't get flirting

It's certainly an indication of interest. If I were single and made extended eye contact with a woman I would walk over and say hello.

Oh I get it now. Thank you for explaining.

And that's so nice of you! That's lovely.

He just stares or paces back and forth. 😶

I might have done that at his age when I had the self-esteem of roadkill. I got over that after my divorce and discovered that women liked me.
