My 'F 24' boyfriend 'M 25' will sometimes stare at me in a "romantic" way, but sometimes it doesn't seem romantic. There are times it seems genuine, but even in those times it seems like he stares longer than is comfortable just because hes trying to intentionally communicate deep feelings? Most of the time there's zero emotion coming from his eyes even though he's smiling. He also continues staring (ONLY at my eyes btw, never looking at the rest of my face like he's actually just taking me in) he continues staring even when I've smiled back and looked at him for several seconds, looked away and back multiple times, said I love you, etc. (He does say it back lol) but just keeps staring only at my eyes and smiling 💀 I dont know how to explain any more than this lol, I just feel like its super forced. It also comes off like he enjoys making me uncomfortable? I dont know but i know I wouldn't continually stare at someone that long if they seem put off
There are other issues in our relationship too that make me feel like he's not super into me even though weve been together for years, but I dont wanna get into it. The occasional forced staring is one thing that keeps making me think this. Ig I was just wondering if others experienced this and if their relationship ended well or badly.
Also he IS autistic so idk if that has anything to do with it
