I approached my coworker and talked with him about work letting him know that I have finished the work. After I said that I did a thumbs up at him. He continues to stare and copied my action, doing the thumbs up. I read online that when someone mirrors your body language means they like the person but I’m not sure if it’s just act of kindness.
It is true. People often mirror body movements when they are interested in what you have to say/ you. Body language helps a lot, when It comes to understanding how someone really feels. Keep in mind though, this has to be repeated behavior, you can't assume off of him thumbs upping back. It could mean the same as a wave goodbye. Lookout for body language mirroring like: Him mirroring the direction your facing, putting his hand in his pocket when you do, crossing arms when you do, matching facial expressions, etc. You can test this out when your with your friends by the way. You will notice if you talk to them they will sometimes mimic you l, without noticing. Easiest one would be telling a story and when you tell the surprising part you open your eyes more and they subconsciously mirror it by widening their eyes too.

but that wasn't a mirror it was the common reply.
I'm not 100 % certain but I believe so! I know I do mirror my crush without thinking then I realize it in two or three seconds that I have done so again.
I don't know whether he likes me back but he used my kind of diminutives (if that's the right word) and I have accidentally used his in return.
Yes. Typically when someone likes you they will mirror your actions. My boyfriend does it a lot, and I've also found myself mirroring him. However, I do feel like if someone gives you a thumbs-up, it feels weird to not give one back. Does he mirror your actions in other ways?

It may be true, but you need to see it happen often in different ways, otherwise it may just be an anomaly.
If you have to become a mind reader and a oracle just to find out whether he likes you or not, then nope. He doesn’t see your worth he’s supposed to do it.
no lol it's just a natural response when u do the thumbs up
if he's interested in u you'll definitely know , if u doubt it , then he's not
ur just overthinking it
that actually sounds like an autism thing. i'm not trying to be funny, but reading that just really reminded me of the autistic people i've been around.
anyway, regardless, this doesn't mean he likes you.
No, that just means he agrees with what you were saying on the topic. Giving anyone a thumbs up back doesn’t then follow they like them.
Its not a bad sign. I will say I tend to mirror people I like but it doesn't necessarily mean its someone I like romantically.
It’s called synchronicity and it comes from the subconscious. It’s a sign he likes you.
You're 25 years old asking this? Were you not around people growing up? Sounds like you don't understand basic human interaction. No he does not like you
In my personal experience yes but that’s not always the case
u have to determine first if he is standing 45 or 50 degrees to you
Sounds like it maybe their testing the waters seeing how you react.
if he has a boner he likes you, but mirroring gestures means nothing
Yes…
Yes in some way shape or form he does
