We're two of the youngest employees at my job (25) so it's nice having him around. We have been having lunch together since September with a couple other co-workers, but this week he's been acting strangely... The nurse told me he had a little crush on me and I was excited to hear this because I always thought he was cute. This past weekend, I invited him and 5 other people over for game night. He did show up and he looked like he was having lots of fun. I text him after he left and he thanked me for inviting him. The next night I was going bowling with some more co-workers of ours and he said he couldn't go because he had a birthday thing to go to. I talked to him via text that whole weekend, but not extensively.This week he's been acting a little weird towards me (after game night). I've noticed him either try to show up in the same room with me when no one else is around, but he won't say much or he completely ignores my presence. I really like him and I don't want to scare him off, just in case he doesn't really like me, but I don't know how to tell/show him without over-stepping workplace boundaries. If this goes bad, I'm stuck with him for another school year. Side note: Today he was joking and playing around with my son after school, (who he has really taken a liking to) but he didn't speak to me all day!Any advice would be great! I'm going crazy!Thanks!

I actually started pulling back this week once I felt the tension. He's usually pretty out-going and fun when he's around other people, but if I'm around he's more quiet. Today he asked me to cover his class for a little while, since I'm certified to do so, but there was a substitute there so there was no reason to have me there. When he got back he asked if I wanted to hang out in his class until my break was over, but I declined. I feel like he wants to be around me because he finds ways to see me, even though he's not slick about it, but I don't know if it's a good idea.

 Personally, I'd dial it back.. ALL the way back to JUST being co-workers.
He might NOT want to date a co-worker OR he has a GF?
