IF YOUR NOT INTERESTED THEN TRY NOT TO LOOK WHEN HE KISSES HER. THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW HE LOOKS AT YOU WHEN HE DOES THAT IS BECAUSE YOUR LOOKING AT HIM AT THAT MOMENT AND THAT CAN BE WHY HE LOOKS. NOT LOOKING DEMONSTRATES TO HIM A LACK OF INTEREST AND MAYBE IT WON'T HAPPEN ANY MORE. IF YOU LIKE HIM AND WANT TO KNOW IF HE'S INTERESTED IN YOU, IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT HE IS.
