I believe the answer is:

ogle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this one?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'forgo leer every so often' is the wordplay.
'every so often' means one should take alternating letters.
'forgo'+'leer'='forgoleer'
The alternating letters of 'forgoleer' are 'OGLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ogle that I've seen before include "Stare amorously" , "Amorous glance" , "Regard lecherously" , "Lasciviously look" , "Eye lewdly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
