It can be for a few different reasons. First being that we don't want her to know that we are looking at her. Secondly it's an ego thing and we don't want to be rejected or called out for looking so we keep it discreet. Holding eye contact can be good until we evaluate our confidence and occasionally it will call for looking away and then glancing back later. It sounds complicated but it's all really quite simple.

because he finds you attractive. all guys check out women. we get better at hiding it as we get older. sometimes you can't help but stare if she is really beautiful. Holding the stare just tells you he is interested and wants you to know it.
I'm pretty sure it's a fear of rejection. There's a guy in my class who does this to me all the time. The only time he will look into my eyes though is if I'm talking to someone, but as soon as I look into his eyes too, he will look away. I sit off to the side behind him and he will always look at me from the corner of his eye. How do I know this? Well, because I look at him too ;)
Because guys are chicken and they believe that hiding their interest for a chick is like extremely macho awesome behaviour.

They say that if a person stares at another for a prolonged time, he or she either loves the person they are staring or wants to murder that person.
My guess is that he found you pretty.Because he thinks you are attractive and eye contact is a way to show that your are attracted/interested. If he was smiling when he was looking at you, that is a BIG indicator. :)
Doesn't want to cause attention to himself checking a pretty woman out.
