Do men ever put the effort into flirting with no intention of it leading anywhere? Here is an example that just happened to me today at work: I walk up to my supervisor and request a brief meeting. He looks at me, smiles and says, "Anything for you" as he holds the door open for me and we walk to his office. In his office I comment that I have a lot of work going on. This is just small talk to me and he comments that's because you can handle it. So I say, "Well, that's what they tell me but we'll see." I was not flirting with this statement. Then he says with a BIG smile, "OH, you can handle it, huh? Really? That's what they tell you?" about three times. This is an obvious flirting gesture and I play along, replying, "Yes, I can handle anything." Ok, so these type of statements happen at least twice a week and then other times he'll see me and act serious. Is this a game men play with just anyone? Is he working up to something? Is he attracted to me? I am to him!!!

Go slow. If you are interested in him, you'll see intentional flirting lines because you will WANT to. Yes, men flirt without intent. Women do too. If he starts to flirt more deeply, if its looking like he is trying to get some info out of you, (whether you have a boyfriend now, etc) well thats a guy whose interested. Go slow. If he is interested, he'll ask you out. It doesn't sound like he's too shy to me.

Some do, yes. I would not get my hopes up about him being attracted to you.
Some men flirt just to be playful, but with platonic intent. Other flirt just to stroke their own ego, especially when they receive some positive feedback. Other flirt, just because they want to get down a woman's pants. Yet others flirt because they have a genuine interest in the woman.
As for dating your boss... how attached are you to your job? If you don't care about losing your job if things do not work out, go for it. But if your job affords you your independence and means of survival, stay away--far away--from inter-office romances.

some men are natural flirts. whether they do it intentionally or not, the other party always interpret it as a flirt. it can a playful way of showing admiration or it can be a real flirt with an agenda.
it's pretty obvious that you like him and he may or may not noticed that. a few men are good at playing mind games. they will give you different looks ( serious, playful, flirty,etc.) that will keep your curiousity level sky high. remember what kills the cat !

Very hard to say.
Banter with double entendres are a lot of fun and can show off how clever you are. It's common at work and often rude and lame as well.
Men flirt with anyone who will respond.

Yes, they do flirt with no intent, many woman do also. If you are interested in this man step up the flirting a notch or two and see how he responds.

Oh, all the time. Sometimes flirting is just fun. The trick is to pick your "banter buddy" carefully. You don't want someone who will take it seriously and be a) offended or b) turned on. IOW, you don't play the game with anyone who doesn't know the rules and who isn't willing to play.

He seems attracted. But also, he could just be playing with your emotions because he senses that you are attracted. It's hard to tell sometimes.

Well women flit more subtly, just a look and a smile, they know it and control many men
