So Alex is a bartender at my local bar. My friends have been insisting that he likes me for a good while now. I never paid attention until they brought it up.

So I have noticed him smiling a lot at me when I'm in the bar. For instance I went out on Saturday and noticed him looking over at me and smiling a lot. Do guys smile at their friends like that usually? I went up to order a drink and asked if I could get a hug, so he hugged me gently and right around the low of my back with a little rub of my back as well.

When I sat down he still continued to smile at me. Anyways I ended up getting a little too drunk. He didn't want me walking home myself so he insisted that I stayed and waited for him and said he'd walk me home. I tried to leave a couple of times alone but he didn't let me.

It was cold outside so he gave me his hoody and apologised if it 'smelt weird'. I linked onto his arm to keep the heat and he didn't seem to mind. He got me home and we hugged and he left.

However I heard of him seeing a girl from one of his best friends girlfriends that night. I went out tonight with friends for a few games of pool and the girl he was rumoured to be seeing was sitting right in front of him at the bar. I kinda froze up and just didn't speak to him or even look at him. He was smiling and his eyes lit when I walked in but I ignored him. My friends said he looked over a few times at us. I think I've been giving him signs I like him yet he went out of his own way to get me home on Saturday and never mentioned this other girl?

I'm so confused though he was giving off all the signs of liking me... was he just being friendly and I've totally picked up wrong signals?
