Does he like me or am I being paranoid?

Hi!
So I have a problem. I'm quite a shy girl, especially with strangers, and I also have social anxiety. When I started college I noticed this very good looking guy crossing the road as I was, near my college. A few weeks later, I see him in college and realise he's a student! I thought he might've been a second year student (as he looks a little older than me), but I'm in my second year now and he's still here which means he must've been a first year student. Each time we see each other in college or outside, we always do that stare thing where you both look at each other for like 10seconds or something (not creepy though). I'm looking at him because he's just a real sight for sore eyes, but I don't know if he's lookin at me for a similar reason or because of something else.

One time, we saw each other at the end of the college day and I was with my friends. He had come up from the fire escape stairs as I was near the main stairs and when he saw me he opted for a longer route down to the ground floor and walked behind my friends and I, EVEN THOUGH he could've went back the way he came.
Am I just being paranoid or was that something?

I really want to speak to him but I'm scared shitless and I might make a fool of myself. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to make it easier to talk to him or for him to possibly approach me?

I've done that longer route thing 😂😂😂😂 it probably does mean something, as does the staring.

It can be difficult to make the first move so just smile, wave, and force him to have that first conversation (after which everything gets slightly less awkward)

Good luck!
