For background purposes, I've only ever had a small, close-knit group of friends who are all females. I've never had a platonic straight male friend before.
The guy in question is someone that I met through work. I know dating co-workers is a definite 'no' here, but it's a throwaway retail job that we're both not going to be at for long. We started casually hanging out several months ago. Every now and then I'd go out with him and his friends and maybe another co-worker. We both weren't interested in anything but friendship at the time (we never explicitly talked about it but word got around) .
In the last month or so, we've grown closer. Aside from working together 5 days a week, we also text almost everyday and hang out on our days off. The last time we hung out was for over 12 hours. He's opened up to me about personal stuff. He's a really nice, supportive person and isn't afraid to show his admiration for me. I'm honestly super lucky to have him as a friend and don't want to lose that.
I get vibes that he likes me more than a friend, like I'll catch him staring at me a lot and sometimes he makes it obvious and sometimes he tries to play it off like he's concentrating on something. I'll also catch him smiling to himself after our conversations are over. But then I also question it because he's not a touchy feely person. He keeps his distance, doesn't give hugs, etc. A handshake or a high-five is the closest thing I've gotten from him.
TL:DR; I've never had a close male friend and I'm afraid I'm mistaking his friendliness for romantic interest.
