They’re all little gestures, sure, but I don’t notice him do them to our other coworkers. At the same event he was texting me throughout he even hugged me goodbye which was a little awkward and unnecessary. My friend made a joke that it sounds like he has a crush on me but I explained he’s gay but honestly that’s the behaviour he kinda exhibits like a kid with a crush. I feel like he’s testing out my boundaries – any thoughts?
