Then he asked what day I worked next. I told him the day after tomorrow. He lit up and said "ok cool! See you then". He always says goodbye to me in a low tone as he is leaving. Whenever I come to work, he announces my name out loud to everyone, by saying that I was "in the house!" Is this normal for coworkers whom I see and talk to ONlY at work? He hangs out with everyone else at work. Even date some of them. A couple months into working there, we got off ontbe wrong foot,and I gave him the silent treatment for a while. During which time he tried talking to me andI made it hadx for him. He burst out in anger and cursed at a few of us. Another coworker who heard him, complained to a manager. He calmed down. I still ignored him. And he just stared at me, even tried talking to me as a cowoker. Over time things got better. Its been over a year now.He's like a kid brother to me. We always fist bumping and laughing.

 IT sounds to me like he's just trying to show that there are no hard feelings.
It's never a great idea to date someone at work.
are you asking to see if there is a romantic interest?

 It could be that he just sees you as a friend, it is clear he is happy to see you, but it doesn't seem like he is giving any vibes that he is interested romantically, so you should not be worried. Am guessing that if you see him as a kid brother you want it as strictly platonic between you guys, if that's the case, and you fear he is getting to close, let slip around him about dating guys and show him you are not interested by asking his opinion on dates and talk about other men.
