How do you let a man off gently?

there's is guy I made friends with a work. We have good banter together and he's very funny I think the fact I laugh at his jokes has gave him the idea but he has a chance. I'm just a friendly person and I'll talk with anyone at work who talks to me.

First sign I saw that he liked me is when another member of staff verbally abused and harassed me when I was just doing my job and he didn't want to do his. I was very shook up and he did make me cry not but I let anyone know about this besides my work bestie Hailey.

I told this guy about how this other member of staff treated me and he instantly became protective. He said he'd back me up if this member of staff came for me and ever since he's been very unkind to this staff member.

I don't even know his name and I doubt he knows mine but he's always complimenting me. He'll say stuff like "I like your scarf" when it's extremely feminine and I doubt it something he'd wear.

He asks me lots of questions about myself but actually never listens and just stairs at me because if he was listening he'd be aware I have a boyfriend by now.

He also always wants to know when Im going on my break and had asked for my social media.

He seems like a really nice guy and I don't want are friendship to be awkward if he does try something. If anything I'd like to advise him not to go after girls he works with speaking from my own experiences I would strongly advise anyone not to date a co worker. He seems a little younger than me like possibly 18/19 years old so he probably hasn't had much experience with this stuff and doesn't know but it's a bad idea yet
