The Stare 

When one of homosexuality or bisexuality have a short or lingering stare that is neither awkward nor inviting. This may occur between all sorts of genders including straight people within the different contexts. One may just look one's way and get caught in a gaze. Trust me when you do "the stare" you will know it. It's like a calling card without words or sounds, but a flirtation of the eyes so subtle that it's almost transparent. Usually done between two people who are in the closet which almost inevitably result in them finding each other. If someone in the closet does the stare with a straight person, usually negative reactions are implied.

The Stare 

When one of your animals is on your lap, and when you start to push them of to get up they stare at you. A look in their eyes that says “don’t leave, otherwise I’ll be sad”. You love your pet so much that you don’t move and don’t get anything done for the rest of the day.
