So advice is needed...
I started talking to a guy whom I work with, he says he didnt want anything serious which at first seemed fine. However, we met up and we ended up sleeping together. I started to pick up on his body language and how he acts around me. Saying as he said he doesn’t want anything ‘serious’ his body language is telling me he’s actually interested in me as a person although his words aren’t backing that up. I’m kind of stuck on what to do now. Do I just wait and see if he comes out with his true intentions or do I walk away now? It doesn’t help that I’ve stupidly got feelings for him! Help a girl out please

Why not believe what he told you?

Those feelings are leading you to read into his actions, and it's gonna hurt like hell to work with him from now on.

Because body language is over 50% of communication, you can say something yet your body will reveal your true intentions. I’m just stuck on where to take this situation or how to handle it

What do you want from him? If you want a relationship, you need to tell him knowing that by doing so you run the risk of no longer being his casual lover---and you'd still have to see him at work.

Use your words. Using this body language nonsense can easily be a one-way ticket to misery and miscommunication.

Don't waste your time with this guy if you want more from him than he's willing or able to give.

You need to decide whether or not you can be fine with just enjoying the warm fuzzy feelings he makes you feel when you're together and accept when he wants to walk he will walk.

Or

Understand that you both want different things, walk away, and stop wasting your time.

So what is your body language telling him?

He can not want to be in a serious relationship with you, and also care about you as a person--both things can be true at the same time.

Sounds more like you want to believe he has deeper feelings and you are willing to talk yourself into it. You're not doing yourself a favor here.

Wishful thinking...when a man tells you something that you DON'T want to hear, believe him!

When a man tells you exactly what you want to hear, RUN!

He has better insight to what he wants then you do. His body language means he likes you, he's attracted to you. His brain and words told you very clearly he doesn't WANT to be tied down. Believe him. Be grateful he is being upfront and isn't messing with your heart and mind.

Tell him you are developing stronger feelings and want a relationship. See what he says. Just be prepared to take the answer and know your no strings attached relationship might be over.
