Coworker just friendly or trying to send signals?

Perhaps getting the Chocolate Cake song stuck is a good reason for me not to get chocolate cake at lunch (but it's so yummy!)...

Dad is great!
Give us chocolate cake!

thanks now that'll be stuck in my head (better than Bill Cosby's Chocolate Cake song that I had yesterday...)

What I do with earworms is rewrite the lyrics.
I.e., "I wanna hold your hams..."

He wanted to hold your hand. Either he's a Beatle or he's in to you.

Sounds like flirting to me. I say go for it.

[Plaidman]

It wouldn't hurt to ask out for coffee.

I'm lousy at signals myself. The idea of a girl flirting with me is very foregin and nonexistant in my lifetime.

But as a guy, it really seems he is flirting with ya.

[Exaspera]

After work, ask him if he'd like to join you for coffee.

Let it be known that I'm very inept at reading signals from the opposite sex, and can also be introverted. I am finally at the point where I am happy being single and comfortable with who I am, but at the same time, I certainly wouldn't say no to the right person.

There is someone on my shift for the store remodel that I've become interested in; when I first started the job I did notice that he was attractive, and recently we've gotten friendly as we hang in the same social circle on break. He's got a nickname for me taken from a movie where the title character shares the same first name with me, and almost always refers to me this way. During morning meetings he usually stands at the far end of the room, but a few days ago we walked up from the time clock together and he stood slouched against the wall next to me. The same day, on break, he insisted I hold his hand and walk back into the store under the guise of 'starting a rumor' as a joke. (Long story, the joke was that he 'stole' me from a female coworker and neither of us are lesbian. She is tired of being accused of being an item with her close lesbian friend). He usually gets assignments to build shelves and fixtures while I'm doing signage or setting modules, but will usually pop into the aisle I'm on at least once a shift to ask how the job was coming along or if I was doing something nice for my Mother this Sunday.

I'm really trying not to read into all this too much, but at the same time, I don't want to pass him up if he is trying to be subtle.
