It means you were staring at him so he politely stared back. Don't overthink this stuff. The only thing that matters is "do you want to get to know him better or not?"
That's it, that's the whole mystery. You don't have to spend any time wondering about how he thinks or feels or none of that. There's nothing between you yet so don't make it weird before you even get out of the gate.
Call him, and leave a message about a "non-plumbing question".
When he returns your call, ask him if he's free to do something with you. That simple. "If you have a girlfriend, then don't mind me at all, but if you're free, I'm going to the movies on Saturday and your name came to mind. Would you be interested in going?"
Keep it simple, non-weird, to the point without pressuring, and if he passes on your invite, no foul. "OK, I'll keep your number handy for 'other' plumbing needs <rim shot>. Take care."
And then get on with your day.
