On staring...

Post Reply New Topic

Hey.

I stare at people a lot. Not usually any particular person, my eyes just wander around because I like to see what's going on. I find that most people don't notice--usually only the ones who do stare back.

There's a girl in one of my classes who stares in my direction, like, constantly. The other day I focused my gaze mainly on the teacher because he was giving a lecture, but I could see her looking in my general direction quite a bit in the corner of my eye. I've only had class with her a few times so I could be misinterpreting this and just THINKING she's staring at me, but regardless.

I asked my best online friend about it (one who is usually right about these matters), and she was like, "You're cute, she probably likes you!" but I'm not convinced.

This isn't really the first time this has happened, either, so I'm curious what people think. Is a lot of staring usually indicative of romantic interest?

Thanks.

Yes, I think staring is a sign of interest.

Absolutely!! !(unless she is aspie and is just staring into "vacant"space which you happen to be occuping.

I use to stare at guys(one of my special obsessions)when I didnt think they would see me...If they happened to turn and catch my eye....I would feel like I was falling off a cliff....week kneed and tingly....oh,I miss that feeling...almost like a high...

If you like this chick...catch her eye and give a tiny little smile(then go check her knickers...if they are damp....she likes you...dont ask me how to go about the latter task....Do I have to do ALL the work for you..geeeez)

I used to think that this girl kept trying to catch my eye or stared at me, I was probably wrong, but I liked her, and I was unsure of whether she liked me back or not. Anyway when she kept ignoring and avoiding me I got the message.

It depends. I always stare at the girl I like, but on the same hand, there is a girl right next to me in that same class that will give me this stare every time I open my mouth. My stare indicates that I like a girl, while hers almost certainly indicates disgust or complete confusion at everything that comes out of my mouth. Long story short, there is no way to tell anything from a stare. I suggest that you just ask her anyway if you think she likes you.

Staring can mean that a girl is interested, if she actually likes you. That's a big "if". Many people, even a lot of aspies, know that staring means interest. So some mean NT girl can use that to fool you into thinking that she likes you. So she stares at you, so she can trick you into thinking that she likes you, only to play a mean joke on you later. Never forget this possibility even for a second. I did, and I fell for a practical joke. Don't let it happen to you.

When next you think she is staring at you, look directly at her and see if you make eye contact. If yes and she smiles or looks away embarrassed or bashfully, then she probably likes you.

Note that if you make eye contact and then hold it for an extended time without smiling, this will probably be seen as aggressive and threatening. Smile to avoid this.

I equate my fear of eye contact with my sensitive and very good long range eye sight. When I look at anything I tend to "stare holes" through what ever I'm looking at. I used to do it to people alot more and sometimes still do. I'd get a "what the f##k are you looking at!?" response alot in my school days. Now I can give the appropriate response but am still in constant fear of that angry or spooked out reaction from others.

i usually only glance over a persons face, its just too risky if you look them in the eyes because they might take that as a threat.
