Tony Canard If you become aware that YOU ARE BEING CHECKED, it stresses you out. 'being' is correct here, but 'checked' may be wrong. Don't you mean 'watched'?

Yes, but what if I want to say that someone is watching in order to check or rate?

It depends on the situation. Describe in more detail what you're thinking of.

I'm thinking of something like 1) being inspected at an airport before boarding a plane, or 2) being checked out because you're attractive to a member of the opposite ***, or 3) being watched by your boss while you're working, or ... any number of different situations. Can you help me imagine what you are imag

the situation: two people (male and woman or two males) look in each other's eyes, it may be because of a situation #2 or becase they just happened to look at each other and none of them turns away so they both notice it and keep staring and it becomes a challenge - who is stronger. I hope it's understandable
