Answer 1

This guy sounds like he is being a friendly coworker and not much else. Ask him out for lunch or something; it's worth a shot.

Answer 2

He's only being nice. He might be flirtacious, but it's only due to your position. This is from reading what you have said, and coming from a guy that sounds a lot like the kind of guy he is. I flirt a lot, and am nice, especially to my female higher ups, because they like it. If not trying to get anything out of it, and I'm not even sure why I do it, I just like to be flirtacious. I get that from my grandfather.
I would highly recommend staying away from any relationship with a coworker. That only causes a hostile work environment. Unfortunately guys like us flirt a lot and sent mixed signals. So on behalf of guys like us, I am sorry.

Answer 3

He is probably both. And you should value both his attention and politeness. Treat him fairly and with respect. Don't take advantage of his kind attention. Good luck.
