I attended an online seminar at my university last week. Along with 2 guys and 1 other girl, I was in a group of 4. I opened a text bar to assist one of the guys, Joey, who was having trouble writing something on our group assignment.
The seminar continued last weekend but it was in presence. Joey arrived at class a little late, so he took the only available seat, which was next to me. We had never met before expect online doing our group work. He grinned broadly and said, "Wassup," when he sat down next to me.
Joey and I have spoken a lot those two days in the seminar. For instance, he would ask me random questions like whether I had already presented my topic or would just show me at random how he scored a perfect score on the seminar quiz (aside from the group project, we all had a solo project). I thought he was lowkey teasing me the entire time. For instance, he grinned and said, "I didn't want to do the exercise with you anyway," as I was about to perform a partner exercise with the girl standing next to me instead with him.
We had to complete a partner exercise the last day of the seminar & he was also jokingly teasing me again. He said something along these lines in front of our group members: "You got me if I get anything wrong," He then gave me the fist bump after our presentation and said, "We did good." (he didn’t do this with the other 2 group members)
I noticed him wearing a "love" necklace, but it honestly didn't look that expensive. I surmised that he might have a girlfriend, but I obviously didn't ask him. I asked him some questions regarding the exam after the seminar. He then asked about my major, so I did the same. Then he gave me the fist bump again and said something along the lines "Okay [my name] take care, we'll see each other around."
I'm not sure if he’s just a very nice & open guy or if he was interested a little bit. What do y’all think? And why would he say "We’ll see each other around” if we don’t even have any common classes? 🤔

Hmm it kinda sounds like Joey might have been interested in you a little bit. Guys don't usually grin and joke around that much with a girl they just met if they're not trying to flirt at least a little.
The teasing about not wanting to partner with you and saying "you got me" if he messed up seems like playful banter to break the ice. And bumping fists both times with you specifically could be his way of being playfully flirty without being too direct.
The "love" necklace doesn't necessarily mean he has a girlfriend - guys wear all kinds of stuff. And he took the time to ask about your major and say "we'll see each other around" even though you don't have classes together.
I'd say he was probably at least lightly flirting to gauge your interest and see if you might want to hang out again casually. See if he tries adding you on social media or suggests getting coffee sometime. If so, he's likely into you. Nothing wrong with seeing where it goes! Just play it cool for now.
You are bound to see each other around, it does not sound like he is interested in you but the only way to know is to ask him.
Ask him right now if he likes you
How should I ask that? We don’t have any classes together anymore
