The staring at you would seem like he likes you, but you never be too sure i guess.
Boys are very confusing creatures!
I understand how you feel, i was exactly like you, and i know its much easier said than done to just walk up to a guy that you like.
But you definately need to talk to this guy. Maybe try finding a subtler [if thats a word lol] way of talking to him, like texting etc. or if thats not possible, maybe wait until he's in a group and then you and a friend can go and mingle. That way you would get to know his friends as well. If it doesnt work out at least you tried.
Just look for little things to tell if he likes you, like the looking at you. the fact he looked away may show that he's nervous. When you do start talking to him for real, look at his body language for clues. If he looks into your eyes and leans in close then i would say thats a good factor.
Just try and build up a friendship with this guy first, instead of trying to dive into a relationship straight away. You need to make sure you like this guys personality as well as his looks.
So in short, try and build up a friendship with your boy. It may seem tough, but at least you will know him better, and your relationship is probably has more of a chance of working if you's were friends first.
