writes: I am confused more than ever about a coworker of mine. Lately, I've been wondering if he wants to be more than friends. I'm 25 and he's 30. We started as lunch buddies. We found out we have a lot in common so naturally we became good friends. We exchanged phone numbers and have talked on the phone well into the night on several occasions. We text each other too. He likes to tease me constantly since he knows that I'm the kind of person that says things innocently but what I say can have double meaning (I constantly tease him about having a dirty mind and thinking like a five year old). We get along well and have gone out to dinner and the movies together. We've even gone shopping together. We have a mutual friend/coworker that thinks we should just marry each other because we argue like a married couple. We always eat lunch together and share our food. We even take our breaks together and walk around the area we work to talk and de-stress. He and I have shared details of our lives and he always asks for my advice and opinion. Lately, things have changed a bit. I was seeing someone and let him know about it. He started teasing me about seeing the new guy and I thought he was a bit jealous because he would mention the other guy all of the time and jokingly ask me what me and the other guy were going to do. When I told him that I was no longer seeing the other guy, he went back to being goofy with me. His teasing has changed to a more sexual nature though. He is now joking about me insinuating that I want to sleep with him and how desirable he is even though I have never verbally expressed any interest. I do have a slight crush on him but have never acted upon it. I have kept my feelings to myself and have never displayed it through my actions. The last couple of times we have gone out together saying goodbye has been awkward. We hugged and paused before walking back to our cars. We almost kissed by accident when we were trying to say goodbye (i ended up kissing him on the cheek). I don't feel that just because I like him that I am seeing things because I have noticed changes in his behavior toward me. He constantly goes to my cubicle to bother me or tease me and he always wants me to high five him when I pass by his cubicle. He also calls me at my extension to mess with me. I would just like advice on how to approach this since I find his behavior confusing. Is he wanting to be more than friends?

mizbeckyz0818 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionHe wasn't sending me texts of that nature. What I meant was that he has changed from just play flirting to flitting but more sexual in nature.
