I don't think it's anything to do with fancying Ashleigh -
It may be to do with his awkwardness.

"Creepy" may be an empty term - hard to objectify - but it is more like an instinctive kind of reaction - rightly or wrongly.

I found Chris difficult to watch when he was talking to Helen and the whole "tears" thing too - as well as the weird interaction with Pav. Maybe it is just because he comes across as a bit socially inept, I'm not sure, but it can be really uncomfortable to watch his interactions at times.
