You're clearly obsessing and suffering and even grieving over this.How about, instead of a big confrontation, going up to him and touching his wrist and saying, "Hi, I've been really wanting to talk with you more. Can I take you out to dinner Friday?"
Then he can either let you know he's not comfortable with that, or accept your offer.
I wouldn't normally advocate asking a man out (unless it feels great and natural to you, which it probably doesn't)--but at this point when his weird staring and your obsessing have gone on for months and it seems pretty clear that they could go on for still more months, why NOT get a bit of real closure?
If he turns you down, then you can probably start letting him go. If he says yes, then you get to spend time with him. You will know that YOU have been clear, so if he's deciding not to get involved it's not from a mistaken belief that you are not interested.
