However a younger man (I think he is about 25) joined our workplace a year ago and on his first day of being introduced to me winked at me (don't ask me why but was surprised that he did it). I don't work in the same room as him and on and off he has chatted to me but over the last few months as I walk out of the room he has looked up purposely and caught my eye winking at me. He has mentioned about a drink but I haven't pursued it and more recently I went to see him do a talk at work and at the end as I left he thanked me for staying for the whole presentation and started talking to me and when I said I liked the biscuits he had provided he offered to buy me some (which he did). I asked him where he bought them from so I could get some but he wouldn't tell me. He had also wanted to go out for lunch and I offered to go but he was putting it off until after pay day.He is a good looking man and friendly with everyone but I haven't seen him wink at others and he describes himself as crazy but I don't want to misinterpret him and assume that I should take his winking as just being friendly especially as he is so young. I do chat with him and I smile when he winks at me.Can I safely assume that I don't have a young man that is attracted to me and is just being friendly/flirty with me and enjoy it as it is.

 Would you act differently if you thought he really was attracted to you? And why shouldn't he be?
I think you should behave as you are now, and if anything develops you can make your mind up about how deep you want to get involved. Stay friendly and see if there is a tug on the line.

 Since this is at your work-place I wold presume that he is being friendly, charming and flirty because THAT is who he is, and leave it at that.
I would NOT read more into it. Just stick to being polite, friendly and professional.
A place of business should really not be treated at as place to pick up a partner, or worry about "office" romance possibilities.
