Are these signs a guy could be interested in me or just being friendly in a friend way?

Here’s a list of things he has done

-He defends me when someone says or does something to me that he thinks isn’t right
-He started engaging in some physical touches and getting close to me
- He looks at me A LOT
-Always checks on me all the time when we are working and make sure I’m doing well
-He asked me to hang out with him so we can get to know each other better
-He open up to me about his disabilities and other things when we hung out along the first time (which was pretty fast since we only known each other for about a month)
-At the beginning he use to always ask my friend about my whereabouts when I wasn’t at work.
-He did other things but I don’t feel like naming everything.

I just don’t want to read into anything that isn’t meant to be deep. So is this just him being friends or possibly could be interested in me?
