Mr. Darcy begins listening to Elizabeth's conversations because, although she intrigues him, he is much too shy to just come up and start a conversation, especially after Elizabeth heard him say that she was just 'tolerable.' He is probably a little embarrassed for judging her so harshly, and of course, at that point in the book, he is still a little put off by her family and their social situation, so he doesn't want to get (or make a show of getting) too close to Elizabeth. Elizabeth is just so different from everyone else in the town, so Mr. Darcy is drawn to that; and because he is such a wealthy person, he can creep (or listen in on) Elizabeth's conversations without anyone getting offended that he's not contributing - it wouldn't be their place to do that! So, all in all, Mr. Darcy does it because he is shy and has a crush on Elizabeth.
