male colleague staring at lips

[Anonymous]

a male colleague at work constantly staring at lips area when in meeting or discussion.
not sure if he is looking at hairy upper lip or chin or lips. is it a habit of his?
Makes me very uncomfortable and I try to look away or look down to avoid it or cover my lips.
He is a nice person, so I doubt if this is any kind of flirting.
How to handle this? just want him to stop staring at lips.

Does he have a hearing issue?

You are bothered by him looking at anyone's lips, not just yours?

[Anonymous]

Maybe he finds you hot and wants to kiss you.

Might be hearing impaired and reading lips.

Report him.

Maybe he's trying not to look at the boob area.

I thought of hearing issue as well.

Ask someone else to observe this behavior.

Send a signal by covering your mouth with your hand. Put the discomfort on him.

A) is there anything unusual about your lips.
B) maybe he doesn't like looking people in the eyes, I don't
C) does he do this with other people or just you?

op here:

I do not know if he does it to any one else.
Not comfortable asking anyone else about this at work.

One thing that I noted reading above comments is "reading lips"
I am wondering if that is what this is all about. He does have a different accent than mine.
I have trouble understanding what he says sometimes.
maybe he has trouble understanding what I say.

There is nothing harassing or sexual or transgressive in this behavior OP.
