We know each other quite well and can definitely be considered as good friends.
He came to my deceased boyfriend's funeral without me asking.
He genuinely cares about me and has helped me a lot in the past, sometimes to great extents.
He knows my number but never calls. We see each other 5 days a week without making much effort to as we work in the same company and have lunch with other friends.
One year when I gave him a birthday present (without my name on it) he guessed it was from me and came to ask whether it was from me and thanked me, and seemed quite happy.
In the past, there were 2 incidents he has told me about unsuccessfully chasing other girls - and I note he gives up very easily, like at most he only had two outings with each one, and they were never alone.
Sometimes he seems shy infront of me, though he is generally not a shy person around other ppl.
On Valentine's day he was waiting for me to have lunch together.
Friend or more than a friend?

Not much of a puzzle if you ask me, since most of the pieces are already in place.
I'd say he's definitely interested but he's in a wait-and-see state. Maybe you need to make the first move.

A friend, but a shy guy. He definitely sees you as more than a work acquaintance, otherwise he would never have shown up at the funeral. If you want to date him (although working for the same company might make it difficult), then you should start having lunch with him more often. You will have to be patient, but you can see where it leads.

Sounds like he may want more than a friendship, but he might be pulling back. Maybe he's afraid of getting hurt, losing you as a friend if things don't work out, or hindering your work relationship should things not work out. I did this little "song and dance" with a guy I use to work with. We danced together and even kissed once - but years later, he still never asked me out. Now I'm married to my high school sweetheart and while I'm happy, there's still a glimmer here or there wondering what might've been. Don't waste months/years waiting for this guy to make his move. If you like him and you think he has feelings for you - talk to him about it. Even if you find out he only wants to be friends, at least you'll know.

I think more than a friend. If you like him, suggest you go out for lunch together and take it from there.

Friend right now, but it sounds like you won't have to work too hard to change that if you want to. Good Luck!

sounds to me like you like him. i think it sounds like he likes you. but if you're right about the giving up part, YOU're gonna have to pursue him... if you're OK with that, if you really want more than a friendship.
