Why does this guy put out this type of eye contact and mixed signal????

Question

one day hes staring at me, then the next day he wont even look at me, and then today he didnt look at me but then when he was going to another class and i was in lunch he was looking at me?? WTFF? does he just think im cute or does he like me? or does he not even like me?

oh by the way we had a class together before so he like does recognizes me and knows who i am..but we never have talked..

we're in high school. :]

ohh and its not like this is the only thing he does..he always used to look at me last year..his friends have talked to me before and have brought him up in the conversation..he like tries to play it off as if he doesnt look at me but he's not very good at it..lol we had a couple of classes together but he never really talked to me..im shy..anyways when we did talk it was extremely awkward..like he would always say like something random but funny and i was like okeeyyy..lol..but this year its different though hes more like the way i described in my first paragraph thing..so do you think he likes me? or ever did? or no?

Answer 1

Part of me says you're over-analyzing.  And you are.  

But, I do have to give you credit for also being aware of your surroundings.  Back when I was in middle school -- before cell phones and most of the Internet -- there was a girl that I always seemed to make eye contact with whenever I looked in her area of the room.  It was unavoidable -- everyone else would be in conversation and she'd be looking right at me.  Turns out she had a crush on me but I never acted on it.  

Here's the thing:  If you like the guy, talk to the guy about whatever you can come up with that you have in common, like classes together and whatnot, and see if there's some chemistry.  Life's too short and those four years of high school are gone before you know it.  If you don't like the guy, kindly tell him to stop staring at you.
