I work at a place where we basically call people and ask for money donations. He is actually a floor manager but he is also a caller like me too. So, every time we make contacts we have to go to one of the FMs and report to them. One thing that I've noticed is that he is very encouraging and confident in my "abilities."
He also jokes around with me too.
I'll notice that he'd be hovering around if I was talking to another male employee. During some occasions, he'd actually say something to me. (i.e. Congratulating me on getting pledges.)
I notice is that we lock eyes for a good 2-3 seconds until I quickly look away. (This has been going on for quite a bit now.)
So, we have these contact sheets that we're supposed to use to mark down how many people we've made contact with per night. And about 2 weeks ago, I was kept 3 minutes after our shift ended because I was finishing up a call. That night I was seated all the way in the back. After my last call, I walk to the front to turn in my paper, but then he stops me and asks how I did that night. I give him my paper so he can look at it -- I somehow managed to get 2 pledges, both of which are matching gifts. And again, he congratulates me.
I had to ask him a general question about one of my calls. So somewhere down that road, he ends up seeing my contact sheet and I got a $250 pledge - which I guess was pretty lucky since the group I was calling was people who've never given in the past. Again, he says good job. And so, near the end of the shift, my boss is talking to this guy who is sitting next to me, he was doing pretty well that night, and the guy I like is actually around that area too. So, just note that I am not in their conversation, but the guy I like mentions to my boss that I got a $250 pledge, and at that point, everyone in the area says good job to me.
Basically, I am just wondering how can you tell if someone is interested in you? Am I just interpreting these "interactions" the way I want to see it? How would you interpret all of this? He is just acting this way because he is a floor manager? (I don't really know if he treats other people this way.)
So, I'm pretty shy towards people I like. (I am trying to act neutral though, so that it's not too awkward.) But how would I be able to talk to him? One thing that I want to find out about him is his age / year in school. And also, our conversations are basically very work-related. Unfortunately, the environment that we're in is very work-centered as well, and so I cannot just go up to him and ask him if he wants to like, hang out or something right away. Plus, I would never do something like that anyway; think ... baby steps!
So, any advice as to how I can go about this? Or what are your views on our "interactions"?
Thanks in advance!

I forgot to mention that every time I go up to talk to him he gives me a really big cheesy, but adorable smile.
