Why is this happily married man at work crushing so hard on me? What is the end goal of all this?

He seems happily married. I don't know know him too well, but I can see that he's been crushing hard on me for more than 6 months. I didn't do anything to encourage him. I just stayed professional. He doesn't cross any lines, he just does boyish things that people with crushes do. All the body language stuff, bright smile when he sees me, gets really flustered, shyness despite being a charming extrovert, etc. I don't think he's looking for just sex, he doesn't have that look or push for anything. He just has this crazy crush that is starting to look more serious to me now.

I am not sure what he hopes to get out of these interactions? Could any guy/girl tell me what they think? I am not one to pursue a married man, so I have been simply polite. Lately, I have been wondering about his motivations. Objectively, as a person looking to get married, I want to understand if this guy is having a mid-life crisis or if this is something all married people face. Had he not been married, he would have been a great catch for me, but I don't want to hurt anyone. His wife is about two decades older than me and I am about a decade younger than him, but I am not in my 20s (30s here) so it's not like he's just fishing with a very young woman.
