What does it mean when the same guy keeps on making eye contact?

[Helaena]

I noticed him five months ago when we bumped into each other but neither said a word. We just went on our way. A month after, I saw him again in a shop and he was staring at me intently. The friend I'm with witnessed this. He never took his eyes off me until I left.

This staring thing has been going on until now. He would make eye contact but never smile. Once, I tried to not break the eye contact to see if he will. He didn't until he walked past me.

Now his parents, especially his dad, and siblings, particularly his older brother, would stare whenever I'm around. I tried smiling at him but I couldn't since he looks so serious, a look you would find difficult to smile at.

I'm quite bothered and frustrated. Please help me make sense of this?

By the way, I'm 23. He's around the same age, I think. And we live in the same area.

I could smile at my worst enemy. You're not trying hard enough.

[Helaena]

You're right. I may not be trying hard enough.

Why not just go up to him and say hi with a smile.

Do you have different colored pupils or something odd about your appearance? It's rude to stare at strange looking people, but most people do anyway.

If not that, the only women I make eye contact with are ones that I find sexually attractive. Women are the same way, it's a genetic thing.

I would say the staring was to seduce you but he doesn't smile and now his family is doing it to you too and not smiling? Sounds pretty creepy to me.
