the stare

[tripper]

Hello,

 

Many moons ago there's a girl I was getting to know and become interested in. When she started seeing a guy, I f'ed off, or she shut me out... something along those lines. She knows I liked her from way back. I tried getting back in touch recently with her online to no avail. I figured she was never interested in me, in any fashion.

 

I've seen her in the weeks since the message. I usually just try to duck by, respecting her space. The other week I turned to look and she was staring straight at me. I nodded and kept moved going. This has happened twice. I've never actually approached her. Is that a 'creeped out by my mere existence' stare or come talk to me stare?

 

Thank you!

I didn't see her face, can't judge.

 

my long shot guess would be a "what the hell he's got in mind?" stare.

 

stop ducking, stop covering. say hi.

I can appreciate, it's hard to describe. Seemed like a serious pondering stare, almost what you described. I don't want to beat a dead horse with a new stick but I'll say hi if I see her again.

I think it is a "oh no, not him again" stare.

I suspect it's a "why is he acting so strangely stare" if you are ducking or running past her with a quick hello.
