Does my co-worker want to date?

Hi so, i work in a deli and one day the guy i like left me instructions on how to close since he was leaving for the day. And he wrote the list down and put his phone number with his name and a smiley face in case i had questions. And now thats all i think about is if he likes me. Cause sometimes he seems interested in my life and asks about my other job. He also asks when I get off work. Idk what to do because i've never dated before so i'm not sure what all this means. Is he just being nice? Or is there some potential here? I do like him so if he likes me too then thats cool. What does this mean? Thanks

Could be. Equally, could be he left you his number in case you had an issue with closing up solo, and is making normal collegial chitchat as you work closely together.

Absolutely no chance of this IMO, he definitely likes OP and this should be taken as asking her out

He's already planning the wedding (as is OP), looking at schools for the children and where they'll retire to.

Really all you have to do is talk to him. If you like him there's no reason you can't ask him out.

I think he likes you but he is being discrete/indirect. I would find an excuse to call him like I need help on something. And then let things roll from there. Sweet ;)

What planet are you on???

If me leaving my number for work related emergencies or queries, was code for " I like you and want to take you out" I'd have had several sexual harassment cases and a lot more awkward conversations against my name than I do.

It's a standard thing to do. Of course, it could mean he's interested, but equally could me he's just being a responsible and helpful Co worker that doesn't mind being contacted out of hours by a fellow Co worker who sounds like she's doing a task she's not familiar with.

Sorry OP, just keep lines of communication open but there's nothing there that reads a sure fire solution

Hard to tell to be honest sounds like normal work char I ask my colleagues when are they next in/off have they any plans its just general work small talk. Leaving his number does sound like just in case you had any questions when locking up I have also done similar incase I forgot something left a number for them to contact with a smiley face so as to not seem patronizing. However this doesn't mean he may not like you in general maybe suggest a meet up on your days off and see how they respond you could go with the it would be nice to have a bit of fun outside of us working all the time. To be honest we need a bit more info like do you catch him looking at you any comments on relationship status?
