Should I stop liking this guy or not? Or do I have a chance?

Sorry for the long post, lol.

He's my colleague, I really like him. I'm introverted. So, we never really talked in person except for one instance but it's work-related and we never really had a proper conversation. He's the type of guy who pretty much knows everyone, and they said a lot of girls have had a crush on him. We exchanged glances every time we had the chance but, that's just it.

So, i added him on soc media, he quickly accepted the request but i didn't message him right away. I only did after a couple of weeks when I was drunk explicitly stating that I have a thing for him. I said it sincerely (i think) not in the usual drunk, creepy way lol.

He replied right away and said that he appreciates my courage and so on. He also said that he's cool that I have a crush on him. We didn't chat that much, coz of conflict of schedule and so on. And the last time I saw him, he still greets my other colleagues like usual and since we didn't really have much of an encounter to be acquainted with each other, we just stick to the usual glance thing. He stayed near my work station for a long time which he normally doesn't do, talking to my other colleagues, taking some silly pictures of him (with a little bit of myself in the background. He posted them on his story that same day.) He passed by my work station a couple of times that day, I don't know if he was looking or not, coz I was pretending to be busy with work.

He hasn't responded to my last chat prior to that incident, but I don't know, he didn't seem like avoiding me after knowing that I like him. We locked our gazes for a couple of seconds, but ya know, coz of the masks, it's kinda hard to see his expressions, kinda useless to smile a bit lol)

PS. I know I can just simply say Hi, but i get really nervous and shy around him. I'm afraid of embarrassing myself.

Oh when we talked on chat, although we barely talked, he was nice and not dismissive. I'm not sure, maybe he's just being polite and nice. Thank youu!
