reader, anonymous, writes (1 April 2013): Hi, there's lots of theory about eye movements but most of it inconclusive. There's a lot of myths and a lot of contradictions. Some men and women give eye contact to someone they find attractive as a way of signalling that they are interested. Others will stare into someone's eyes without realizing it as they are transfixed by their beauty. Others will stare at someone as a form of aggression or intimidation. Others stare because they lack social maturity (children for example or often adults with learning difficulties.) Sometimes its simply because someone is lost in thought and not really "looking" but appears to be staring. For another example, its a common myth that people break eye contact when telling a lie. In truth people break eye contact all the time during conversation. An honest response to a question can be accompanied by breaking eye contact due to spotting something of interest or someone we find attractive. Sometimes people have eye complaints and find it hard to look at someone close up for long periods. Others are just shy and don't like eye contact very much. Also a liar may try to hide his or her lies by deliberately not breaking eye contact during an interrogation or argument(often making it obvious to someone trained in police interrogation's that they are telling a porky).Young men often stare at young women as a way of showing them they find them attractive. But of course its just as likely to be a "give her one!" look as "she's pretty I wonder if shes single".

As a single guy I will tell you this: I will probably always try to have some (quick) eye contact with an attractive woman when walking by. Even with other people simply because around here in the country most people greet each other.So there's a good chance he finds you attractive but you guys will have to meet more often to see if there might be more.Does he smile at you? If not, do you dare smile at him and say hi? If he also smiles and says hi, then things are getting interesting.Funny thing is, I'm in that situation myself. I met a woman a few times before when passing each other. The first time she smiled, the second time she also said hi. This week we met a few times.She always says hi with a smile. I'm interested in her and things are looking good.But still it's possible she's just being friendly.I will try to flirt with her next time or strike up a conversation if there's an opportunity. See what happens. I suggest you try it too.

It means he was looking at you or something directly behind you.
Any more speculation would be pointless. Staring isn't some trick guys in general have to hit on a girl because it'll never accomplish anything by itself.
I'm sure there are some guys who intentionally stare to hint or as a way to hit on someone, but I don't think it's common.
