Why did he say I was his type?

[PerkyPython]

He started texting me everyday all of a sudden and being very responsive. He says that I'm probably wondering why he's texting me so much and that the truth is he feels like I'm his type and that he really likes talking to me and that's why he asked me to stay earlier and keep texting him.
I was facing a lot at work and really stressed, so I told him I need to go to bed earlier, but he wouldn't back down and kept asking me to stay and then said he hopes he's not coming across as a needy prick. I didn't Call him that and said good night.
What is happening here lmao.

Um, that he is interested in you and that he likes you… You’re his type so he’s going after you.

[PerkyPython]

Thank you for your answer. I'm not good at social cues so I come on here to clarify with unbiased third parties 😂

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

You’re welcome lol. Lots of people come here for that reason, but he definitely likes you😉

Are you interested in him?

[PerkyPython]

I don't know he kinda cute though

[rabbitzzz]

I don't know. But probably something if he does that six months later.

[PerkyPython]

I don't understand what the six months stands for.

[rabbitzzz]

Well its not just temporary infatuation if he is still interested years later.

[PerkyPython]

Oh okay I understand that
