At a recent work Christmas party, a coworker who is at least 10 years older than me and has a girlfriend put his hand on my knee twice when sitting next to me - one of which he squeezed and caressed it and then when I needed help back to my hotel because I was super drunk, he caressed my hip and lower back while we were in the elevator and going to my building. Once we were in the building though, he told me it looked like I knew my way to my room and left me. I spent the next week so anxious, confused, conflicted and just a mess. I like him and he’s cute and funny and a great coworker but he has a girlfriend and I don’t want the drama. At a recent meeting after the party, I felt a bit awkward but I don't know why because technically nothing happened! He made string intense eye contact with me though that burned a hole through me and made me feel like okay, there is an air of something here - sex, tension, awkwardness I don't know but something. We both acted like our normal selves though and I felt better. Then yesterday he randomly called me and I thought okay, he wants to talk about what happened- but we didn’t. We talked for 45 minutes about everything but that, like we just kept skirting around it. I have no idea why he called, he never really said but we just talked like we always have (we have always got along well and can talk for hours). So what is he thinking? Did I misread the whole thing? Did he not want to sleep with me? Am I crazy?
I don't think he was trying to sleep with you. (That was your title question.) He may have wanted to sleep with you (the next to last sentence question). But based on what you wrote, I think he was being overly friendly in the context of a work Christmas party.
You also ask if you're crazy. You're not.
... but...
Please don't pursue this. First, he has a girlfriend. Second, there will be drama. Finally, no relationship at work ever ever ever ever works out. They are nightmares magnitudes worse than when relationships crash and burn outside work.
Enjoy the memory that he was a gentleman that night but let him go.

"he has a girlfriend and I don't want the drama"
Then you spend the rest of the post fretting about what he thinks, if he likes me, blah, blah, blah...
WHICH IS IT? It can't be both. Again, just no shame whatsoever...
What Guys Said
He likes you and if he is acting this way then there is a chance his girlfriend is not treating him good. Don't feel guilty about it if you like him back. Not your fault

It looks like it’s possible also, why are you at a hotel from the local Christmas party at work?
Was he wearing a sweater and did he offer you a pudding pop?
Yeah, he did
You should rail him
