Coworker told me he was gonna make it his goal to get me to talk more?

[Anonymous]

I’m quiet and an introvert but I’ll talk if someone talks to me. My coworker who always strikes up a convo when he sees me, saw me pass by his office and called me in there. He said “Hailey, I’m making it my goal to get you to talk more”. and “I’m gonna come and talk to you ever turn i see you” just to try to get me to open up more. Why would a guy say that? I normally wouldn’t think a coworker cared how much i talked or not so why does he? Is that his way of flirting?

It is a way of flirting. BUT it's a way that doesn't necessarily always indicate interest.

Like it means he finds you interesting as a person, and wants to get to know you. I have for sure subjected a few shy people to the same treatment. Sometimes, it's someone I'm not interested in (beyond friendship) who seems like someone I'd like to get to know. So... I make a point to talk to her, because I know she's shy and won't talk to me first. It's playful for sure, you can call it "flirty" but I didn't "like" these girls. It's more "friendly flirting".

On the other hand, I have also definitely done that to girls I was intertested in. It's an easy way to start talking and interacting with a girl you like (because you can play-it-off as though it's really 'friendly flirting'. There's no pressure because it's not a clearly romantic interest type-flirting. But it lets two people be flirty nonetheless)

So it certainly indicates that this guy is genuinely interested in getting to know what you're all about (get you to talk more). Something about you, makes that guy think "damn, she seems cool. I wish she talked more" And... here we are.

Whether or not it was "she seems cool, I'd like to know her better because I'm interested in something beyond friendship... you can't tell BY ITSELF.

Coupled with other signs and signals, then it can certainly be a piece of evidence that a guy likes you romantically. Just be careful reading romantic feelings into this without other context. So it depends how he acts with you the rest of the time.

Extroverts always trying to change introverts. Tell him to buzz off if that bothers you. Sounds like he's hitting on you but not respecting your personality.

I think he’s just being nice and playful not necessarily flirting

Yes I think he is trying to make you open up to him more. I don't know maybe he likes you.
