What does it mean if you catch a guy staring and he looks away?

1. In class I happened to look over at my crush and caught him looking at me, and he quickly looked away. And this happens a couple times each class.

2. When we were put in groups he teased me once before sitting in the chair next to me. And when he did our knees touched and he didn't pull away. And then asked me for help on one of our assignments.

I've never had a boyfriend or anything so I don't know if it means something... Or if I'm hallucinating! Help?

Signs in the Eyes Maintaining eye contact for prolonged periods of times shows that a person is attracted to you. It literally means 'I See You'. Not to be mistaken for a quick meeting of the eyes across a crowded room and then shooting the eyes down just as quickly, but a deliberate holding of the gaze. Maybe conveying certain things through it. Prolonged eye contact leads to an increase in the heartbeats and the release of an adrenaline-like substance called phenylalanine (PEA), which is the same hormone that gets released when we're in love.

If he continues to stare, or you catch him looking at you every time you look into his direction and then maintaining eye contact, be sure he's attracted to you.

Along with that, observe when he sees you for the first time whether his pupils dilate. Although one needs to be very observant to notice this and the whole process lasts for 5 seconds, yet this is a sign. It's a subtle way of literally clearing the eyes so they can observe you better. Signs in Touching The very fact that he allows you into his personal space speaks volumes about his attraction. Other than that he will try and adopt several non-aggressive ways of touching you. For example -holding your arm or the small of your back while directing you to a particular area or letting your knees touch while you'll are sitting together, squeezing your hand, or sitting closer than required.

Yes, he likes you. Especially the knee touching-it's not a basketball bench on the side of the court, it's a girl's knee and he noticed it as much as you did. So cute, you little lovebirds!
