What do i do if a guy keeps staring at me?

[iLoveCookies]

hi :) i just was wondering what i should do to make this guy STOP staring at me. this has gone on for about 4 months, and today my friend i'll call Julia was like "wow he(wyman) keeps staring at you!"
i said yeah.. i know.. then other guys around the room would just watch him and whenever wyman would look at me they would yell like "LEMONS!(his nickname)"
he's just a generally creepy kid.. if he was some kid i actually liked, i wouldn't have a problem ( :D ) but he's just like a total creeper!
i've tried telling my 8th period teacher about it, but she said take it as a compliment. what, i'm supposed to LIKE that some creepy kid is staring at me?!

anyways - should i tell one of the principles? or should i just let it slide, because he's starting to get on my nerves

thanks for any answers :)

oh yeah also i had no clue where to put this

Yeah, I would definitely tell the principal or a teacher. Don't tell it slide, because it could get worse.

Well if this guy jsut has a crush on you, it's not crime to stare. Maybe you jsut leave it. It might stop. If anything else does happen then by all means tell a teacher but i really don't think a guy staring at you is a problem.

isn't it harassment if you have told him to stop staring at you and he keeps doing it? also when whatever class im in with him everyone else notices lol

His staring probably is one of admiration or attraction. Although it is annoying, the best thing to try to do is sit as far away as possible. Teachers aren't likely to step in because they see it as this. Although you may not like the student, have you ever talked to him regarding it or anything else in general? Perhaps he just has a crush on you and I'm going with that as it seems most likely.

For the time though, just try to ignore it. If however, he verbally harasses or geographically/stalks you, or does similar actions, then consider reporting them. In grade 8 though, if one guy stares at a girl, it's likely just attraction.

Hard to say because previous cases involving workplace sexual harassment need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, it was ruled that it was not but when appealed, sometimes the verdict is changed.

If his staring at you don't look at him.. So you wont see him staring.....

QUITE QUITE. Maybe like in time he'll actually TALK to you or just stop staring

[1_21Guns]

I know it can be frustrating to have someone stare at you, but if he likes you, he probably cant help it or doesnt even know he's doing it.
Telling a teacher might help, I guess.
I suppose you just need to think how much it winds you up to see if it's worth making a point of it.

[Forbidden Lover]

I wouldn't just let him do that to you. You should tell someone. Whether he's trying to do it harmfully or not.

Try this:

If he's constantly staring at you, look at him and make eye contact. If he quickly looks away then that means he's embarrassed he was caught looking at you and most likely has a crush on you.

However, if he holds your gaze for over 3 seconds then try waving your hand in front of his eyes, as that's just weird. :P

Anyways, as long as this guy isn't some serial killer or something then don't worry about it too much.
In one of my classes at school I like to look at this one girl because I'm attracted to her, and if we ever make eye contact we just look away quickly like nothing happened.

alright :) thanks for the info

[scuba steve]

well, all i can say is at least he's looking with his eyes and not his hands

[iLoveCookies]

Hah I would never let him close enough to have that opprotunity.

[budd55]

i would try and stay away from him, or tell a teacher

[Iron Man]

Try asking HIM why he stares at you. You shouldn`t immediately pass judgement if you don`t know the reason.

[Grim981]

I think you just need to get over yourself..
Why is he a creep?
Its not his fault he's different and can't live up to your high standards..

[DayBreakArt]

Like everyone has said, he probably likes you. Don't go overboard and tell the principal. I think you should ask him or make eye contact (as said previously). He'll probably be embarrassed if he knows you know he's staring at you and might even stop.

[peaceloverugby]

Yeah, I stare at this gay guy in my physics class, and when he looks at me I smile and look away, an he just smiles and shakes his head. I'd try to ignore it, but if it really bothers you, go directly to him and ask him to stop. But be gentle, don't make a scene

I've never exactly had a kid stare at me every period I am in with him.
Sometimes he will be across the room i'll be with friends he's by the teacher
and I look toward the teacher and I see him just staring at me.

[Truth]

He's staring, it's not abuse, a crime, or even wrong. Men stare at women, he likes the way you look. If he tries to do something, which is less then 1% likely, then you tell some one.

hi !
Sometimes when a particular guy like us he keeps on staring at us without uttering a word. This is the sign that the guy is interested in you. This is one of the way to know if a guy likes you. If you want to know the other ways then read the following guide.

[Paladino]

Take it as a compliment.

[Asylum]

if you are annoyed by it and want it stopped either tell him to stop staring at you, or get and adult to put a stop to it. good luck hun :)

[Hanyo]

How is it going? Did you try staring him down? What happened?

Just curious, what is it that makes this guy creepy? As you said, if it was a guy you're interested in, then it wouldn't be creepy for you, you would like it right? So logically, it isn't the behavior of him staring at you that's creepy, its something about the person that's unsettling for you.

I'm just guessing, but it sounds like the thing that makes him creepy for you is that he never talks, so you don't know what he's thinking. You never know, he could be daydreaming about murdering you... or he could be daydreaming about how he wishes you would realize how much he adores you and that you would feel happy knowing how dedicated he would be to you... He could be thinking about anything, or maybe nothing, but not having any idea is the creepy part right?

Other guys probably check you out too, they're just more discreet about it, some guys maybe even said something suggestive to you. So then, I wonder... Is it more creepy to have someone stare at you and not know what they're thinking, or to have someone stare at you and know they're thinking something dirty??

Personally, I don't see how its wrong to look at people, other than the awareness of being constantly watched can make you self-conscious.

I say think of it this way; you can be pretty sure he totally digs your chili, so you can be confident that you have at least one super-fan. So I think it would be good for you to go talk to him. Its always good to have more friends right? Even if people think they're creepy. Once you get to know him, he might not seem creepy at all, and you might be glad you made him into a friend. You don't have to date him of course, but if you treat him kindly as a friend you'll accomplish a few things: find out what he's thinking and why he's staring, it'll be less creepy when you know him better, you'll have another friend who may prove to be helpful somehow at a moment when you need it.

Approach the situation with kindness, you only have potential for gain.

[BlackBetty]

How do you know that he dosen't want to become friends with you?? Maybe he is staring because he has a crush on you, or wants to become friends.

That's not too much to worry about, because he hasn't done anything to you physically.

But if you're worried, don't give him the chance.

[cirill18]

He probably likes you. Its not good to go and say to the principal till the time you are not sure about what he is exactly thinking. For this its better you refer this guide and get complete solution on this problem and then decide what exactly you have to do.

[Violetmonster]

tbh. calling him a creep when you don't speak to him seems pretty judgemental.
he might not even be staring at you. he could be staring into space. its easy to mistaken at a glance.
and if he does have a crush on you, maybe you should speak to him abit, and not just judge him by what you see..
