Could he be attracted or interested in me and is it worth asking this guy to grab coffee?

I approached this guy in my college’s newspaper office after needing to talk to someone there. I asked him about his role and how he got involved. He shared that he joined last semester and quickly advanced. I jokingly said he exponentially advanced and he chuckled. He began checking his phone, but then I complimented his articles. He smiled brightly, and told me he liked writing about politics, then he quickly looked me up and down. He smiled while biting his lip and his eyebrows flashed up and down.

Knowing he checked me out, I acted casually. I then asked what he studied and what he wanted to do. Despite him fixing stuff around his desk he turned to face me when he answered. There was an awkward silence but then I asked him about his background cause I noticed his last name was written on his desk. When he went back to his phone I told him I recognized that we shared a similar background, and he asked me about mine (the only question he asked me). I decided to leave the conversation there and told him it was nice meeting him. When I left, I came back to grab my umbrella and he sat up straight when he saw it was me. He turned to watch me grab it until I left.

Didn’t see him until two weeks later when I had to go back for the same reason. I heard him approach a colleague to ask him questions about his job and then I overheard him say he went to my hs. I asked him what he went for and he studied art, I said I did music and he said that’s really cool. When I asked him what year he graduated, he said 2019, so he’s a super senior. I said I am too but I graduated in 2018. He smiled brightly and said “so that means you were here for a while.” I jokingly told him not to remind me. We left together and I told him I remembered our conversation from last time. He said he did too, but to avoid awkward silence, we ended it there.

I saw him in passing this week and he turned over to look back at me after I passed by him. He is overall quiet and very introverted.

I have to ask him to do an interview for a project relating to an org I’m part of in school and I was thinking of asking him to grab coffee because it was comforting to meet someone with a similar experience, despite him being attractive to me. I don't know if his lack of questioning comes from being reserved since I saw him engage with a colleague and he easily engaged with him.
