So, I work with this guy. We've worked together for quite sometime and for the past two or so months I've had a ginormous crush on him. Lately, we've neem flirting more than usual. (E.g., now we play fight in lobby, he puts his arm around my shoulder, he plays with my hair, sticks out his tongue at me, etc.) So, seeing as I'm afraid to tell him I like him.. I don't know what to do. I don't want to jump to conclusions and just assume he likes me. So, I'm looking for another opinion.

If you get the number, send him a quick text some time. Just 'hey, it's (insert your name here)' or 'sup, it's (name here)' If you make it to where you're available to talk to him any time outside of work, you'll probably get to know him better.
Once you talk to him for a little while outside of work, say something casual like 'I'm really wanting to see (insert movie title here)' That will be a hint to him that he should ask you to go with him. If he says that he wants to see it too, say 'Sweet, we should go together?' It's quick, it's easy and it's hard to deny. It's so casual, it would be weird to say no to that.
Hopefully he'll pick up on some of this while you guys are getting to know each other better via phone. It's great to flirt at work, but even better when you have no customers to tend to. If you already have his number and do text him, then try the 'I really wanna see (movie name)' thing. You just have to be calm and casual about it. It doesn't have to be a huge confession of how much you're into him.
