It is definitely inappropriate of him to buy you those chocolates knowing that fact.

He could just have shaken you hand and given you verbal wishes. As a matter of fact, just wishing you a happy birthday without as much as touching you would have been wiser. Why?

Because he is aware that you have a crush on him and he also knows that any gift, tactile gesture or anything that could be misinterpreted by you could lead to a conflict.

Thus, it is not very wise of him because now, you are going to overthink and hope that there was more behind this gift than it was in reality.

Well actually I'm holding my breath hoping it didn't mean anything cuz I'd have rather not have to adress that type of issue with a coworker cuz its fckn ackward

Nothing wrong with that. It's a thoughtful gesture that shows he cares and is thinking of you.

The attraction is probably mutual. That's a slippery slope to be on as a married man or a man in a steady relationship.

Unless you are just friends and he is very clear on where he stands.

if you two are actually friendly then no. its just a food item.
however it it comes with anything else ie personalised wrapper that has love connotations with it, probably time to set the boundaries
