What are his signs telling me

[VERY CONFUSED GIRL]

I am seriously confused. For sometime, I have liked this guy I have worked with. I think he's interested...but at the same time I'm really not sure. I suppose I am old fashioned and would rather him ask me out...I don't think he's real shy, but I wonder why he HASNT asked me out or anything if he IS interested but it is hard to tell now adays with girls asking guys out. The same reason he hasn't said anything to me could be for the same reasons I have not really said anything to him.

 

But he does sometimes say and do things that lead me to believe he is interested.....but what do you think?

 

He'd do little things when we were at work like touch my arm, punch my arm playfully, kick my foot when he walks by, constantly ask me when my lunch was scheduled even though it was the same every day. And so on.

 

We talk on the phone about once a week. We talk about our jobs and things we did over the weekend and so on. Sometimes he makes girlfriend remarks, or calls me names like dork and stuff. He's usually the one who calls me. Like for every 4 times he calls me, I might call him back. Now I havent seen him for a while, so our contact is only through our phone conversations. I've told him he needs to come hang out sometime. And when time went by he brought it up, asking that he thought i was going to invite him out sometime, so was that like a hint or what?

 

I'm not experienced with this dating stuff. All the things he does, if I were looking at this objectively or seeing it with someone else, less of it would alert me that the guy liked the girl, but I just can't get past the fact that I am not 100 % sure.

 

But I could use some opinions on like if the him calling me like that is a good sign or not and stuff. I guess I'm worried I'm not interesting enough or attractive to him. I wasn't attracted to him either until I got to know him, so....but I can't get this guy out of my head. And I'm working on making plans, but i'm waiting for oks before i go and ask him.

 

So what do you think? I know that's not a lot to go by.....
