As the title says, I think my male coworker might have a crush on me or is interested in me. We work at a fast-food place, so we’re together a few times a week. A few things make me suspect this: he sort of teases me when we work, we talk most of the time during our shifts, and we kind of play fight (now that I’m writing this down, I feel really cringe haha).
We also text most days on iMessage and Instagram. He sends me a lot of reels, mostly about “my homegirl,” and two of them have been along the lines of “how mad/upset I’ll be if my HG gets brutally taken away from me by a guy who looks like he snuck his way onto Earth,” which I just thought was funny.
This past week, I added him to my Instagram Close Friends, where I basically spam F1 content. A day or two later, he suddenly started mentioning a lot about F1 and the upcoming race, memes, and random things from the community. He’s known I like F1, but recently he’s really ramped it up, sending me posts and bringing it up a lot. I honestly don’t know if he actually likes it or if he’s just doing it because of me.
I jokingly invited him over to my place to watch the last race of the season, and he was super into it. We couldn’t actually make plans because we both had stuff going on that day, but he seemed excited at the idea.
For the past few months, we’ve also been going to a local restaurant after work to get appetizers and drinks, just the two of us. It usually happens once or twice every other week, sometimes more. He always initiates these hangouts.
My coworkers and friends tell me he probably likes me or wants to hook up or something, but I feel like we’re just good friends, and I don’t think he sees me like that. One thing that confuses me is that sometimes he’ll show me a girl he thinks is cute and ask what I think. But whenever I mention a guy, he immediately switches to suggestive topics.
Recently (kind of NSFW) I mentioned that I hadn’t been home all day, and he immediately asked if I was with a guy. I laughed it off, since I wasn’t, but then he started talking about how the guy probably had a small dick. I told him I wasn’t even with anyone, and he didn’t believe me. It didn’t really bother me, I just thought it was weird.
He has a history of liking a girl and not realizing it until much later, and I have a history of being totally oblivious to when someone’s into me. Also, once he told my cousin (18M, who we also work with) that I was hot, but he said it was just to mess with my cousin for some reason.
At work, we toss random stuff at each other and banter a lot. I don’t know if it’s flirting or just messing around, but I have fun with it. I’m just wondering if maybe he does like me as more than a friend.
TLDR; close guy coworker/friend and i flirt at work and hang out outside of work, not sure if he likes me though

Sounds like he likes you 🤷🏽♀️
One thing I forgot to mention was that I like 2Hollis a lot, he makes music. I had shown my coworker his new song that was unreleased, but I saw a video of it and just showed him and then a little bit later he was showing me his Spotify, and in his recent searches were songs by 2hollis.
Of course he likes you but may lack confidence. Give him a peck on the cheek and see where it goes.
