There’s a guy at my university I’ve had this weird eye-contact situation with for about 3–4 years.
We don’t know each other at all. No classes together, no mutual friends, and I don’t even know his name. We only see each other randomly once in a while.
Years ago, I thought he was cute, and one time on campus I stopped for a second and looked at him. He looked back, and I got nervous and walked away.
Since then, whenever we randomly cross paths, we often make eye contact. If I catch him looking, he usually looks away really fast.
Last year I intentionally avoided eye contact with him the whole year and ignored the situation. But this year the eye contact started happening again.
Recently we crossed paths two days in a row after class in the same campus area. The first day, he glanced at me quickly and looked away. The second day, he was with a friend, and when I looked up, he was already openly looking at me until I looked away first.
Also, one of my friends had a class with him before and mentioned that he was very polite, but said he never really looked at anyone or made eye contact in class.
He seems like a shy/introverted guy.
Do yall think this sounds like he likes me, or am I overthinking normal eye contact?
