I work with a guy that I cannot figure out if he likes me. He is cool, but I want to know if he likes me more than friends. He has called me "darlin", when we first met and had a beer after work the conversation did turn to relationships and our bodies. After that everytime he walked by me he surprised me by tickling me or tapping my shoulder. During busy moments at work, we come face to face for work, I look at him, and he smiles and sticks out his tongue. If he was a female, it would be great, I need new girl friends, but he's a guy!! How can I tell?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Where I'm from, a man doesn't do that kind of stuff unless he likes the woman. Now, as to whether he likes you in more than a friendly way... Does he treat the other women at work the same way? Is he just a flirt in general? Or is he treating you differently?
Or instead of analyzing it and trying to read his mind, you could just try asking him openly what his intentions are. Directness and honesty are a great way to find out what you need to know.

YES, I would say so. He is trying to tell you in the only manner in which he knows or either he has been hurt in the past and he's a little scared of starting a new relationship. Some men are subtle and others brazen! He must be a really nice guy (judging from his flirts that U mentioned). If you are also a shy person then you might want to try to spend a little more time with him outside of work. Asking him out for another "after work" drink. His feelings will surface eventually- it's inevitable

I had the exact same thing happen to me, I started working at this place, and I started becoming friends with this guy, we were very close friends for 6 months until he said "I have something I really need to talk to you about" so we went to the park, and he went in circles until he finally spit out "I've been thinking about you alot lately..." which led to me telling him how I felt, and we decided to take things slow. We met just about 2 years ago, and on our one year anniversary of dating, he proposed... That is the best way to have a relationship... be friends first, build up that trust, that communication... Don't think that just because he hasn't asked you yet, doesn't mean he won't.... Mine was just shy ;) He thought he was out of my league... (I thought I was out of his league!) Maybe talk to him about it, see what his thoughts are... if he isn't into you, chances are, your friendship will deepen due to the level of trust you have to talk to him about it. :) Best of luck!
P.S. Don't go looking for love, let it find you when and where you are least expecting it!

Just be patient and the answer will come to you. Patience is the key to all working relationships and if you rush things everything will go wrong. Just be yourself and hope for the best.

If he was interested in you, he'd ask you out on a date. If he's messing around and has no romantic interest in you, he'll tap your shoulder, stick out his tongue and not ask you out.

If you like him ask him out or if you have a mutual friend have them hint around and get the scoop.

Yes! he does.. he is doing that touching thing and flirting with you.. so yes he does like you but maybe to shy to ask you out or fear of rejection..

Start talking to him and then randomly ask him if he likes you. It worked for me I think it will work for you.

Sounds like he may just be trying to be friendly and himself. He also may be guarded because of his sexuality...?
