ogling
Giving lingering looks
Ogling is looking at someone with obvious sexual interest or desire—an extended, appreciative gaze that lingers on the body.
The word carries a slightly leering quality: He was ogling the women at the pool.
Unlike a glance or admiring look, ogling implies the gaze is noticeable and possibly unwelcome.
