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.
Mark: I think Jimmy is gay, or at least bisexual
John: How do you know?
Mark: We did the stare in chem today
John: ohhhhh....
