You'd have to look at their eyes to see whether their eyes are directed at you, and that would require you to stare at them.
So maybe the solution is don't stare at other people's faces.
When I'm in public I'd have no idea who is staring at me, because I don't survey the room to see where each person is looking.....
Granted but if you catch someone looking at you especially more than once then naturally you suddenly pay more attention to them and you'll notice either subtle or blatant looks/stares a lot more

Especially if they have piercing eyes.

- They don't feel welcome (numerous reasons apply)
- They don't want anything (else) from you
- They don't want to mix business and pleasure

You can appreciate without wanting to be involved in any meaningful way. Sometimes a look is just to look

OP, Ordinarily, I would say, you need to get his attention, but this seems to have happened. So, my own experience is that, if his shyness is the problem and you want more than looks, you have to approach him.The easiest way to do this is walk up to his desk, your purse in hand, and say something like "let's go out and get a cup of coffee". If that doesn't break the ice, then nothing will with this guy.

^ Plus he might not want to date her. Looking at someone is a mutually exclusive act, until proven otherwise.
Some people hate dating, or don't want a relationship, but they still look at people.
Some people even go further and flirt, just for kicks, without the intention of dating etc.

I look at like this:

1. Woman is gorgeous, has a nice body, but acts rude when you say hi.
2. Woman is gorgeous, is really nice, but doesn't want to date.
3. Woman isn't gorgeous, but she's cute and has a positive personality and actually shows interest when you talk to her.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know most men are going for woman number three.

To the OP:

You are probably attractive and dress nicely.

From the guy's perspective, he has to tread lightly because he knows that if you find him attractive then great, but if you don't, he is setting himself up for a harassment accusation and could lose his job.

I'm sure ^^^^ is just worse case scenario mate

But that's why as a bloke just by being humorous, engaging, polite etc and you'll see by her reaction and manner if she's interested or not just by how she's responding to you and should KNOW whether to proceed.

You don't necessarily have to be full throttle flirty/charming and so on to see if a lady likes you or not and in this particular situation you can't be done for harassment if you've only been polite, civil and haven't tried it on
