Someone who studies you like art but never asks the price.
means A person who regards someone or something with respect, approval, or affection — often quietly, sometimes romantically.
from From the Latin 'admirari,' to wonder at or marvel — built from 'ad-' (at, toward) and 'mirari' (to wonder), the same root that gives us 'miracle' and 'mirror.' It came into English through Old French 'admirer,' carrying that original sense of gazing at something with astonishment — which is why an admirer is, at heart, someone caught in the act of wondering.
