Lately, I've noticed a shift in his behavior. He says good morning and good night to me everyday. He opens the door for me, looks me directly in the eye when talking, compliments me and lightly teases me every now and then. I also catch him looking at me sometimes.

This could simply just be his personality or maybe something more. Its hard to tell, but I'm curious to know what you guys think.

Thanks!

Do not take Religion, Romance, Politics or your Personal Life into the office, it rarely ends well for anyone involved.

Nah, I don't see anything romantic brewing. You just have a good co-worker. Be glad he's not the opposite, making your worklife a living hell.

Go have sex with him, see if you like it. Workplace affairs can be fun. (If he happily married don't do it of course)

It is a coworker. He is being friendly. It is part of being professional. Cobbing a coworker is not professional.

I agree, ^^

but, .... its not uncommon for men ( myself included ) to think about how it would be to have a relationship /sex with any woman we find attractive. At work or anywhere.
For the mature, mentally stable , normal ones ( self again ) the thought quickly passes and its business as usual. but for the perverts and creepers unfortunately it does not

I do believe in the saying that you should not go "fishing off the company pier".

He is being friendly, because he is friendly. Some dudes are personable like that!

If he's asking you to have coffee or grab a bite to eat, or hang out one-on-one, then maybe I say maybe there is something there. Otherwise, just take his kindness as him being himself. And, he can't help it if he's that kind of guy..

Depends. If it's a fling, sure. Nothing but complications afterwards. If it's a potential serious relationship, then I'd say go for it.
