I think creepyness has to relate to some perceived threat. Example: in horror films, children can be super creepy, because there is a hint of supernatural threat. But in real life? Never, because they pose no threat. Too focussed on something is only a symptom, the real feeling comes from fear that the individual is unstable or will go to extreme lengths to get what they seem to want. To avoid appearing creepy you need to understand what sort of fears people might have. The exact same interaction may be 10x creepier in an empty car park than a busy office floor. Sometimes the fears may be unwarranted or unfair, of course.
