Was he trying gauge my interest in him?

Last time when we chatted it was late. We chatted till almost 1am.
Previously when we’ve chatted I’ve stopped reaponded to his texts after 11pm.

I asked him if he always goes to bed late which he said yes to. Then he playfully hinted that I’m staying up later than usual. Then I told him that I don’t have work the next day because I took day off from work.

then he was like ” I almost got worried that I had an effect on you with my bad example lol”
