16/f.
So there's this kid a year below me. He would stare if I walked by until he would have to walk backwards to keep looking. I never looked openly back, but he was so obvious about it that I could tell. Every time he saw me this happened. Without fail. In class, at an event, wherever. I know it was me he looked at 'cause a couple of times I accidentally made eye contact but was scared I didn't hold it for even a second.
The weird thing though? If I was up CLOSE to him, like standing by him and talking with a teacher, he completely didn't look in my direction at all, almost like he knew I was there but was ignoring me. That's how disinterested he was. He stares like a stalker at a distance, but ignores me up close, even flirts with girls in the area.
That kind of stuff.. What's it mean? I just saw him again for the first time in a few months and I admit it was a little strange that he still sought me out and stared (from a distance), but... Could it be he's just got a staring problem?
I've never spoken to him. He's kinda cute, I'm kinda not, so I don't wanna get my hopes up. Be honest please. :) I'm just asking here 'cause everywhere I look it says "Oh, guys look at gurls cuz they think u r priity." And I don't believe that's the case with me. (link)

In my personal opinion...the guy is completely attracted to you. If a guy is obvious enough to let himself stare consistently at you, even when you might catch him, he's willing to risk the embarrassment just to get a few more moments to look your way. Also, if someone I find really attractive is up close, my natural instinct is to look away and stare at the floor or someone else. So he might not be ignoring you; he might just be a little insecure and unsure of how to act around you.
Don't call him out directly on it, but the next time you catch him staring, try to look straight-on at him and don't back down. If you're interested, throw in a wink, too! This guy's bold enough to A. be caught staring, and B. flirt with other girls to make you react. There's a high chance he wants you to step out and be bold, too.

Ohhh, yikes, I've never dealt with anything like this before. I'll sure try to not back down though. :) I don't think I can wink, but I'll try to smile. Hopefully we'll get a class together this year so we can talk. Thanks! :)
I'm just worried what'll happen if really I'm wrong and I smile and scare him... Nothing ventured, nothing gained? Haha.
