Before I elaborate on this, I just want to mention that I haven't been interested in a man in a year and a half, and I'm completely oblivious to men. I find myself running away from them/disinterested because I got burnt pretty badly. Therefore, I'm not crushing on this individual at all.
This guy at work seems a bit odd around me. Aside from the daily "Hey you, how are you?" (normal), he always stops by my colleague's desk (which happens to be right next to mine), talks to him for like 3 sec and then turns to me and starts chatting with me about random things (monkeys, dumb jokes ..). I usually keep my eyes on my computer and barely listen to him.
One day, he sat at my desk while I was in the bathroom and left me a monkey picture (I had never really talked to him before). I took it slightly badly because I thought he was making fun of me. The following day, my colleague asked him why he did that and he told her: "Ha, I thought she wouldn't notice. That's was just for fun, because I really like monkeys". Hum, okay.
Then today, he sat by my desk and was like: "I came to tell you a joke ... (he said the joke, told him it wasn't funny, then he said another one ... I didn't really laugh) ... then he said, I'll come back tomorrow with something better then".
He then saw me on my way out of the office and said: "You're going home already? Oh no! See you tomorrow".
That's bizarre. I noticed I'm the only girl he does these bizarre jokes to. He eats lunch daily with some girls I work with, but doesn't stop by their desks make such jokes. He never speaks to them outside of those lunch breaks. I see him walking past their desks and he doesn't stop to have convos with them.
Why is he acting so strange around me? I mean, I barely said 3 words to him and I told him his jokes sucked. I don't see why he chooses to make these bizarre pranks/jokes around me. Is he making fun of me?
Thanks!

Sounds like he is trying to get you to come out of your shell. I understand that you have no interest in dating him, but are you opposed to being friends with him?

The thing is it's a huge office and there are so many people working there ... we don't even work in the same department so we never have to interact or see each other. I only see him because he's friends with the guy whose desk is next to mine or sometimes in the elevator.
Why would I want to hang out with him or get out of my "shell"? I don't interact with him because I'm not exactly a colleague of his.
I'm not against being friends, but I don't think he and I have much in common to be fair.
You sound more fun than a barrel of ... well, you know. Is he hitting on you or just being a friendly dork? Nobody here knows. Why is he doing it? We don't know that either.
In the old days (mine) of 35 years ago my call would be that he's interested in you and trying to break down The Wall.
