What does it mean when a guys make small talk?

[Anonymous]

there's this guy I really like and sometimes I feel like he likes me but the thing is we never have conversations it's always small talk and even when I don't talk to him he'd still talk to me and it'd be random, and I've noticed he's been doing this a lot, it's hard to tell if he's shy cause talkative with everyone else

does he go out of his way to small talk you?

or does it occur when you happen to be standing next to each other etc.

[Asker]

it's only when I'm around that he talks to me

then the small talk, is just that. small talk.

"What does it mean when a guys make small talk?" He doesn't know big words.

It only means something when a guy invites you out for a date.
Other than that, he's just acting friendly, OR maybe he's shy or clueless to know how to court a girl.
