What does this kind of intense eye contact signify?

Well it seems pretty obvious: you both like each other, a lot. You say you built up this intense relationship a year ago which expressed itself mostly by eye contact, so it seems logical that you had a rush of those intense feelings when you had the same eye contact with him a few nights ago. Eye contact can mean a lot more than some people think, it seems to be a way of telling each other how you feel without explicitly saying it. I'm in a similar situation. I've fallen for a girl and I'm fairly certain she likes me as well, yet neither of us has spoken about it, we just always seem to lock eyes. It strange, I'm apprehensive about speaking to her about it as I guess doing so will admit I have feelings for her, and then this will take our relationship top a new level. Personally, I know I'm safe in my current situation, our relationship will stay as it is (friends really) if I don't do anything and in that way its kind of secure. Telling her however is kind of a risk, it may screw things up completely, but it could lead to something really good. We both kind of know we like each other (at least that's what I think!), but we cannot be certain of it, so that's why I've stayed in my current situation, I'm scared to move the relationship into unknown territory. My point is, it sounds like you may have not spoken to each other just because of the risk of doing so.

A year ago you went from being involved in a intense situation, with all these feeling rush around and had them suddenly cut off. So in a way they were stored, there wasn't a period were they faded out, they just stopped all of a sudden. So when you had this eye contact with him the other night, all your feelings came rushing back and it sounds like it happened to him as well. Our bodies aren't overly good a coping with such a sudden rush, and the natural way to express your emotion is through crying. If you aren't going to see him again for a while your feelings may just be cut off like last time and perhaps you may not think of him again, but if you are going to see him regularly then these thoughts will probably hang around. So in that situation, it would probably be best to talk to him about it, speak openly of it and things may begin to make sense.

Yeah I think you're definitely right about it being a way of expressing feelings without saying the words, however even when these moments make me feel pretty certain of both our feelings, the lack of verbal expression still makes me very doubtful!

Every time it happens I feel like all the wind has been knocked out of me, it's like I have no control over myself anymore! It always feels as though the other is searching for something in the other. It's very frustrating. It's like there must be some kind of really, really, complex scientific explanation for this...I suppose I just want the answer! I mean, I would say yes, we like eachother, but I've really liked people in the past and never experienced such a powerful reaction.

And thanks to the other posters, you gave me a laugh, I appreciate it

I agree, doubt is the worst thing. Personally I've come to the realisation that nothing will happen between me and the girl I like unless I do something, I can't wait around for something to just happen as it may never happen and I'll forever regret not doing anything; I like her way to much for that to happen. So I've decided to take the risk, although I still haven't figured out exactly how I'm going to tell her! I'm going to try my hardest to forget about any of my doubts and just go for it!

For me I know there is something there, it may not be all of what I hope it may be, but there is certainly something there. And it certainly sounds like there's something between you and this guy, he may not feel completely the same way about you, but there must be something there otherwise you wouldn't have had the intense eye contact.

I would say go for it, try and talk to him about it. But actually you may not have to simply tell him, you may be able to find out for certain if he likes you using some other method, although I've no idea what you could do! If you like this guy a lot, then you can't sit by and do nothing about it, because it most likely won't turn into something and you'll be forever wondering. Ask yourself, is the happiness you could gain from talking to him about it worth the risk?

He is without doubt a wizard. Tell him to stop using his powers on a mere mortal as urself.
