Crushes can be wonderful and fun and lead to a great relationship. But when the mind advances the feelings before they've been reciprocated, it can often be a pathway to tremendous pain.
It seems to me that there is a good chance they are reciprocated. You know, people don't need to go on formal dates in order for feelings to be reciprocated. It can happen in other ways too.
From what i've read, there's also a really good chance it's not. He may just be being friendly because it's his job and he's a nice guy. After 5mos, i believe they haven't even had a conversation. He could of course be interested and shy, but he also as above, could just be a nice guy.
It's impossible for us to say without being there. I do however wonder, little things like appearing very busy when someone comes in may be a sign that he's picked up on the feelings and doesn't reciprocate. Which, i'm not saying he doesn't. Just that at this point, having had no obvious or subtle confirmation, it may be a good idea to keep feelings from amplifying.
If it ends up he likes her, nothing lost. And if he doesn't, it saves a lot of pain.
