It’s really hard to say without being there myself, since people do tend to see what they want to see in interactions, but it sounds like he could be flirting a little? Maybe try testing the waters a little by flirting back and go from there. Also, it might be embarrassing to be rejected by him (if it happens, which it might not!) but I guarantee he’d be more flattered than anything. You don’t have to stop going there.
