Search Results: guy staring me down

Crushing on a guy for a couple of months. We work outdoors across the street from each other (not the same workplace). With other people he is an imposing and dominant person. It's a crazy high stress environment and sometimes people will approach him angrily and may even want to fight and he's NEVER scared. He even broke up a fight between two dudes wrestling them apart at the same time single-handedly.

Awhile back after some eye contact and mutual attention-seeking, I casually approached him. He was super-fidgety, but he as super happy. Looked down most of the time but was asking me about myself. He's younger than me possibly 10+ years younger.

Fast forward and everything has gotten AWKWARD. His friends stare. He has two on "is she looking at me watch" and another one who I talk to obviously ships us. He seems shy but has made prolonged eye contact and smiled. Blushing too like bright red. So I tried to speak with him again and he freaked out and ran. His friend sort of apologized for him since I was ignoring him. He made himself scarce for awhile but was steal hiding stealing glances.

Now he's back low-key passing by, etc.

Anyway, yesterday he was no shame staring me down but serious face. I reciprocated smiled and he started blushing and saying something to his friend then when I looked again he was on his phone avoiding eye contact.
