He said he was thinking about me. Does he like me?

Hi all,

I have started to get a crush on a work colleague but he doesn't know it. I'm not sure how he feels either.

He's gone on a trip with friends and sent me a random message out the blue yesterday saying that he keeps seeing my favorite animal and they make him think of me.

What could this mean? Could he have a crush on me too? The guy tends to be a bit of a flirt with everyone, but would you say that to a girl you just saw as a friend?

    For whom? Not for me, not for anyone I know including schoolteachers, one of whom was writing about school not being canceled today due to snow 15 minutes ago.

    Well, I wouldn't but as we know nothing about your work colleague (potentially a recipe for career disaster for both of you but I guess that's a different thread) it's impossible to say what he'd say to anyone.

    Sounds like he's fishing to see if you are thinking of him?

    This is a very important detail.
    If he said "I saw a warthog and it made me think of you", he probably doesn't fancy you.

    Surely it doesn't matter what the animal is as he keeps seeing OP's favorite animal... FWIW my money is on a Robin.

    Dau enaid ond un taith.

    Firstly, if he is a work colleague how does he know your favourite animal?

    Next do you want a relationship with the office flirt?

    What have you relplied?
