Search Results: holding eye contact

So I’ve liked a guy at my work for a while now and I decided to text him last night even though we’ve never talked before. I just said hey. Well now the problem is that he hasn’t opened my message but some of my coworkers told me that he is always on his phone, so it means he definitely saw my text probably in his notifications and he didn’t open it. So I don’t know what to think now because I only texted him in the first place because I was getting a strong vibe that he was into me but maybe unsure/shy about making the first move so I did it for him. I thought he was into me because I kept noticing him glancing over at me repeatedly, I’ve caught him staring at me and he awkwardly looks away, my friends have told me he turns and looks specifically at me and also that one time he was staring at me for almost a whole minute and I didn’t notice because I was busy with something else. He also tries to get my attention frequently, like he will talk really loudly, walk in front of me a lot, and just try to bring attention to himself. There’s also been times that he has made eye contact with me and smiled while holding the eye contact for 2-3 seconds. We also always seem to catch each other’s eye eye from a distance. His closest friend at work has also approached me multiple times to try to talk to me and be friendly with me/tease me. So I don’t think I’m wrong in assuming he’s interested but I don’t get why he hasn’t texted back or even opened my message yet? But what do you guys think?

Will my friends with benefits become something more?

- He calls me his girl but introduces me to his mum as his friend & then a girl he brought home, even though we've met before.
- He now calls our "hangouts" "dates" & he pays for everything
- He doesn't like it when other guys flirt with me
- His phone is getting replaced so he gave me 2 ways of contacting him - facebook and temporary number
- He tells me that 2 weeks of not seeing me feels like a lifetime
- He took me back to his but he didn't want to have sex.
- We're super affectionate in public during the day, night & at parties.
- He said that he's physically attracted to me but he's more attracted to me as a whole person.
- When I start treating him like he's my boyfriend e. g. holding him so he wouldn't leave for work, kissing his hands when he's holding me. He called me cute and was smiling
- And one of his favourite ways of having sex is when we go slow, holding each other's hand, looking into each others eyes and kissing.

And the thing is, we were only friends for 1 work shift... But we were always flirting like crazy.
