Okay, this is kind of long, but I really need answers.
Ok. So I have a crush on one of my coworkers. We work at a movie theatre together, and we always have a blast when we have the same shifts. I'm 17/f, and he's 22/m. So yes, there is an age difference. We've hung out with mutual friends a few times, and I've known him for almost a year.
He and I always did that sort of cutsey flirty thing, but even though I liked him, I always just figured he was only goofing around, not to be hurtful, but he just didn't think of me as more than a friend. Then monday night rolled around.
We were both working until close together and of course we were being very flirty, kinda joking around and hugging a lot. Then, when we were closed, he took me onto the roof of the building where we just talked and goofed around. Then we started hugging and kind of swaying. He kept joking about making out in the closet, asking me what I was thinking, all that kind of stuff.
So now I think he may in fact like me. After the evening ended, I sent him a text message saying "heh. next time just kiss me." and he responded with "yeah that was some pretty hard flirting, wasn't it?"
I dunno whether or not to make a move, though! We haven't really hung out one-on-one yet, and I have, in the past, ruined a friendship by thinking it was more than that. Should I wait for him to do something more? Or should I do something?

If you're scared of ruining the friendship, ask him if he likes you before you do anything else. It might be a little forward, but he's the only who can tell you how he feels.
Since you feel a connection, ask him to hang out sometime when you guys have off. Maybe get some coffee or go out for lunch. Get to know each other some more & see how things develop. If he makes a move, you know he's interested so you can start dating.
