He says he knows my smell--does he like me?

[Anonymous]

There is a man that works in the building I live in who I occasionally see around. I flirt with him and he flirts with me too but conservatively since I think he doesn't want to get in trouble with management.
The other day, he saw me in the building and said "I smelled your scent in the elevator, so I knew you were here today."

Then the other day he said to me that he thinks I smell good.

Another time I ran into him after not seeing him for a couple months and he said "Hey! How've you been? Long time no see!" and i briefly chatted with him and then said "Well anyway, I know you're busy--" and he cut me off with immediately saying "--I always have time for you."
Is he just being nice and friendly or does he maybe like me?

Well, seeing his comments, his will to give you time just for you, and even remembering your scent, I'm pretty sure he exceeded the level of casual friendliness.
That guy clearly likes you.
It's up to you to see if you like him back in that way to date. Though, keep in mind that you'd have to hide it from management.
Otherwise, he seems like he cares a lot about you so, to that point of my knowledge about him, he looks like a good guy to date.
That's just my opinion of course.
Nevertheless, I hope it works for the best for you.
Best of luck.

Well.. You both communicated like two normal people. However, interesting.. you did not prefer the classical ways of not talking and sending news with smoke or pigeons. Nowadays some people are still try to talk like this..

Of course he likes you. Do you want to date him? Ask him. He's not going to ask you, it would be very unprofessional and would lead to big trouble for him if you complained.

Hey thanks!

From what you have said, it seems he thinks about you and so he must like you as well.
