There is a manager at work who will not make eye contact with me. He's not my direct manager, but I do deal with him occasionally on projects. He will pass me in the hall and keep looking straight ahead like I'm not even there. If I say hi first, he will make split-second eye contact with me, but he often looks nervous and uncomfortable.
We will be in meetings, sitting at a conference table and he will look at everyone but me. I literally feel invisible to him, except for a handful of times that I've caught him looking at me from a distance, when he didn't think I was aware. One time he was smiling.

Does he like me? Hate me? It's so awkward.
Since the quality of your work isn't suffering, I would ignore it. If you were on a closer work relationship, then it may matter. But I don't detect that here.
I don't like making eye contact either (even got rejected from an interview because of it and instead they hired some idiot with no clue about anything and everyone has to pick up the slack for him and do his work). It just makes me feel uncomfortable staring people in the eye. I can still hear and retain the information even if I'm not directly staring at you the entire team. Petty egomaniacs don't understand this though

don't worry about it - i wouldn't take it personally. there's a lot of people that have various anxiety's or social disorders that behave this way. Also, sometimes it's a "rank" type think with higher-ups; i've seen it happen but it's still not about "you". Let it go and continue to do a great job at work!
Look up Anthropophobia. You're looking at it from the social standpoint wondering if it "means something", when it could be a simple medical issue. Don't read too much into some hidden reasoning behind everything otherwise you'll end up some bitter sad employee.

Don't worry about it, you may have passed gas when he was near but didn't know he was...or you "Might" have said somehting he can't speak to you about for some reason....
He may be attracted to you. There are many reasons why that may be a bad idea (office romance, one or both of you are married, etc.), and so he's trying to limit the temptation. It's similar to not going to out for drinks when you have an issue with drinking too much, you avoid the temptation as much as possible.
