Men, help me read eye contact.

Mainly interested in this guy who’s always extremely serious when looking at me: he holds eye contact and i’ve caught him looking at me when I can’t see him but whenever we interact he’s dead serious.

Never smiled back to me, he’s always nice though… He doesn’t seem shy but maybe I can’t tell cause he seems very masculine… I don’t understand if he’s just serious, or shy or intentionally doing that. He almost looks angry but I can tell he’s not haha

    Maybe he’s a psychopath and isn’t aware you are not an NPC and are able to interpret his gaze.

    Does he show emotions?

    If you don’t think he’s a psychopath / sociopath here’s a list how I’d interpret it:

    • He’s interested in you
    • he finds you pleasant to look at
    • if the looking at you occurs in a school class scenario and you are situated near a window he might be “mind idling” and looking outside the window past you (I’m not sure about this hypothesis)

      Haha no, he’s not a psycho!

      I’m sure he looks at me cause we do interact sometimes, but the problem is I’m obviously attracted to him, I’m pretty sure it shows and he knows cause I turn red and get nervous. I’m afraid he thinks I’m weird and maybe looks at me cause “oh here’s the weird girl who’s crushing on me” and I don’t want to be creepy

        Man, I really hope there’s a woman that thinks about me like this, and I’m just too stupid to realize.

        Ask if he wants to grab a coffee. Maybe he’s just oblivious.

        I’d say if you make move don’t try to send signals and be more direct if you want a result

        Just a note, 8% of men are colourblind. I have often been told that someone is blushing but can’t tell at all.
