I have a question about crushes and attraction.

From past experience and stories, I learnt that when a guy constantly looks at you, it means he's interested.
But I also learnt that when a guy wants a girl, he will go to great lengths to get her.
NOW, please explain to me, why my crush literally eats me with his eyes ( Today was probably the last day we will be seeing each other, and my friend said he looks at you as if he's seeing you for the first time, or the last time. ) But he does this siince quite some time. Then why didn't he take any step ? Or initiated anything.
Crushes are confusing.

Maybe because he does not want to take that step until he feels confident/sure about it. Sometimes if results aren't coming your way, you gotta razzle/spice it a bit so he feels like he just might have to...so maybe trying chatting with him (even if it's something small) so he knows your not like 'out of his league' or you don't seem uninterested....so he does not have the guts to take the first step maybe you can take a baby first step in the direction and then he maybe just take it from there....

@Cooper802Forever: That's exactly what I thought.
And even though I'm the hugest introvert ever I still tried to take baby steps.
I followed him on Instagram and Snapchat and didn't get a follow back. AND I complimented him on his hair, and asked to touch it, and I did.
How can I be more introvertedly obvious ? XD
Maybe he's just not interested ?
Whatever I guess...I won't see him in 4 months, so yeah...

@ArwenPandora: hmmm I see, he proabably is then....that or he's just a little to oblivious to realize the possible signs/opportunities. Only other thing I could see helping you is if you had a good friend in the class who could help you who like maybe knows him, the friend could ask him what he thinks of you...like your just seemingly not paying attention doing something (Looking as if unaware of this happening) and she/he could try to get out what he thinks of you....and then report back to you after class or something and tell you
