Hi, so I'm in highschool and I have noticed this guy looking at me often. Like, very often. I talked to my sister about this and she said that he is a nice guy and we are acquaintanced. I catch his eyes literally following me everywhere and I am not sure if he finds me pretty or not. We were in class and I caught him staring at me and once I looked up to stare back he quickly averted his eyes. Another time, this week, he was paying for his lunch and he looked back as if searching for someone and he looked at me. That's not the first time he's done that. we talked while getting food. This week, he'd look at me frequently again. I was in the line to get food and he was in the line to pay and he looked as if he was searching for someone and he was looking directly at me and I'm not sure if he was searching for someone else or if it was actually me. I like him and I'm not sure if this could mean something. If I added all the details it would take forever to read this. If you want more information and can try to contact me, if I can answer after the quesiton.

Staring lots and smiling and attempting to talk to, are signs in interest in a person. People do not go out of their way consistantly to pay attention to a person they are not visually attracted to. What about yourself, do you stare often at a guy you find unattractive to your personal tastes? I bet you don't. No one does. There are rare occasions that people are attracted to a personality and don't care at all what the person looks like but that's really rare.
So he's attracted by your looks. That does not equal him 'liking' you yet though. Think about it. How could you know if you liked crab if you had never eaten it before it your life. Just looking at crab meat would not help you determine if that artfully crafted meal by an expert chef that was visually appealing is going to be something you like to eat too.
The only way for him to go from attraction to knowing whether he likes you or not is to spend some time around you, quality time where you really get to talk in depth and get to know each other.
And the reason that young teen men do not often approach the girl to attempt to get to know her better to determine if they even want to ask her to be his girlfriend is that too often girls want to skip the exploring whether you like the other person stage altogether and they don't want to make a commitment to be someones boyfriend. This is the reason why so many get together with someone and end up breaking up because they discover that they had little in common or not a strong enough attraction.
So take it a step at a time, talk to him more and if you have an interest in getting to know him better, suggest hanging out together, maybe with a group of friends and him along so it doesn't feel like a date. Trade cell #s with him, find out his schedule and the best times to call and chat, but try to spend equal times in person where you get to read body language, see facial expressions. Good luck.
