Why does my coworker say, "May I?" to me?

[Anonymous]

I think that is a formal way of speaking.

If you coworker is the same level as you then there is possibly two things happening here. The first being that he is simply a courteous and polite guy. The second being that he might be a little submissive and have a small little crush on you. It is hard to tell specifically as there is no context provided outside of the question.

Maybe English is third language or he is just being polite

Seems pretty normal to me.
