I was walking home today and a half block ahead of me was a person of indeterminate gender - wearing a crazy long stocking cap and red and orange striped mitts. I was idly wondering, is that a guy or a gal and my eyes rested on their butt as I thought it might give me a clue. I was staring, but for purely scientific reasons! And then he (it turned out it was a he) turns around and stares right back at me. How did he know I was back there staring?

For one that was so funny.... I can tell when someone is staring at me you just get this weird feeling like you are being watched. Try to just stare at someone thats alone for a while and see if they eventually turn around. I say alone because if they are with their friends or talking and busy with something else they may not sense it. In my experience they almost always do.

I can always feel when some one is staring at me or just looking, and from a distance.
It's a strange feeling and I can usually find who it is when in a crowed place but always know when just a few people
I think some of us just make that eye contact (not meaning anything by it) just some link

omg i don't kno! but that is so funny lol. maybe he/she thought you had a crush on him/her lol. just kidding....
i can tell when someone is staring at me tho. even if i am asleep, i wake up if someone is looking at me and before i even open my eyes i KNOW that someone is there. coz i just get a feeling.
sorry i can't answer your question better, but i don't really think that there is a scientific answer. it's just a feeling.

Yes! it's a natural human function, subconscious
