    Ok so there's in guy in my classes. I see him everyday besides friday. We're both in uni so our classes are huge (300+) people. The thing is, we always always make eye contact with each other! Like in class or just anywhere. Whenever we are close to one another, eye contacts always happen. Like one time i was walking down the stairs, i noticed he looked up and STARED at me, we were far away, and there was like a glass window between the stairs and the ground level (where he was staring at me from) and i was so far up at the stairs. And one time I decided to look back at him and try to hold the eye contact, and he just kept on staring instead of looking away. Plus this guy is friends with this asian guy whom i'm pretty sure is gay. It's just so weird caz ppl don't usually make eye contacts with other ppl so out of nowhere this often u know? Does he wanna beat me up caz he thinks i'm gay? No one would suspect that i'm gay unless they friends with. What do you guys think? I've never talked to him before.

    Just say "Hi" he could be LGBTQ and, in the closet. Could just admire a good looking guy and want to be friends.

    Outgoing, confident people tend to make eye contact a lot more that less outgoing or not so confident people, I would not take it as threatening, just looking and a willingness to be direct with you, if you want to talk to him.

    Most people who are guy can pick up other people who are gay, even if they aren't out. So... If you have attraction to guys, it's quite possible this guy knows. (Closeted people are way more obvious than they realize).

    I'd say... Talk to him! Mke it simple and noncommittal... Talk about something in class. And see where it goes.

    Yes, you need to talk to him! You will learn quickly if he is just a random straight guy or someone interested in you.
