Why is it, that we always make this insane eye contact?

So, I really wish I had time frames and timestamps. But if I had to guess I want to say about five to maybe four months ago, this guy and I started speaking at work. He randomly, honestly just came out of nowhere. There was a situation that I had with him early on. It wasn't anything major, but he asked me about doing his job that our supervisor did not assign me to. So I let her know and she just wasn't having it. So she mentioned to him at that time, to not further engage into any other conversation other than a hi and bye. So that went on for a good while. Then as time went on, he proceeded to start the process back up as far as communication again with me. The second time around he was being very friendly, an overly nice and complimented me and mentioning how he enjoys me working there with them. So I honestly, didn't understand this behavior other than it sounds like he might have a thing for me, or possibly interested in me or maybe just being friendly. So fast forwarding. After maybe a month or two went by I took it to our supervisor again and discuss that I think a formal co-worker may be interested in me. So I discuss my interest with her about him. So I told her not to say anything to him, and of course she did it complete opposite. I don't need to have her that conversation. Just know as an empath, I just knew she said something to him. Because I want to say a week later his behavior has changed towards me rapidly. He definitely has pulled back, and nowadays it's like when he talks to me, we're speaking in code language, or make eye contact with each other. And at times when I am completely alone on a good day for him. Continue to read update to question... For more detail

He wants to speak, it's typically small talk but to me it seems like our small talk seems like we're in sync with each other. And I can tell that he's very relaxed, but he seems to be very nervous. And I noticed with other colleagues and if he's around them or they are around me. He won't say deadly squad, and sometimes barely make eye contact with me. What could be the case now?
