Is he just really nice?

I will try to make this as short as possible, but I apologize in advance if this turns into a small essay. It is going to sound all over the place because I'm going to mention certain things that have happened. This is also my first question on here so here goes:

Last summer, I started working in a fast food restaurant and started to develop a crush on a guy that worked there. He has a great sense of humor, which I love, and he is always really nice to me and teases me. When we were working together, I would be working on something and he would help me out or do another job for me. He has also dropped compliments about me around me.

I had to leave to go away to school at the end of summer, which crushed me because I really liked the guy and had to leave. After being at school for a month, while I was texting another worker, he started to text me. He was teasing me and saying how he had heard I would be coming back to work over the break and that he was glad to hear it and how it would be good to have me back. He went on to say how I was sorely missed there. I was so happy! I didn't want to drive him away by overly texting him so I only did it once in a while. He would still text me sometimes too. These conversations via texting would sometimes last as long as 2-3 hours.

Unfortunately, I found out he was leaving during break, which was really upsetting. He had even said how he was disappointed that I wasn't going to be working until after he left and he offered that I could come in one night so that he could show me how to do a few things that I needed to learn...but I didn't because I am a huge chicken.

However, on one of the first nights I was working, I was texting him and, out of nowhere, he showed up an hour later, which I guess was recently after he got home. He started asking me how things were going and helped me out with a few things while he was there. I did manage to get to work with him a couple of times over break and it was awesome. He would joke around a lot, ask me about certain things...it was awesome.

There are so many little things that he does that just makes my day. Like how I couldn't come in to work because of my father's birthday and he told me to wish him a happy birthday for him or how I'm smart for going away to school and how he gives me compliments. He always laughs with me, and at me when I'm a fool, and makes jokes around me. I could go on forever trying to list the little things but you would all get bored of reading it.

To make a long story short, from what I have just said, does it look like the guy may have feelings for me too or am I just being the typical girl and over analyzing? I am not really confident in the relationship department. Every guy I have ever liked has crushed me and so my confidence level is in the negatives. I don't know whether to say anything to him, risking the friendship that I love having with him, or just wait and see if he ever says anything to me...which at this point won't happen until summer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

And sorry that this was basically an essay with a works cited page due to its length.

Thank you for the responses!

I really don't know what to do because I really like the guy. He treats me with a lot of respect and is always so nice to me at work. It just feels like he treats me differently than any of the other people there. Gah, so confusing!

I have never had a bf and, like I said, I am not the most confident person in the world, so I don't know whether to say something to him and risk getting hurt again or just wait and see. I can't tell if the things that he is doing are just him being nice or because he feels the same way about me.

I don't know, I wish I knew. This whole situation is driving me crazy, to the point where I sit down and try to analyze the situation. Haha, how pathetic!

Again, thanks for responding!

Hi my name is Bailey, the one who wrote about the rough sex and moving in my boyfriend, and our relationship started almost the same way. So go for it i mean obviously he really likes you and you like him but if he wants to keep things professionel then i think you should wait a while until you really click. And if that doesnt work then its time to move on.
