Does he like me now or what?

This guy just started at my work place and when i told him i liked him he said he barely knew me but he thought i was a great person so far. He said there was also someone in his life right now that he was after. I was like ok what ever that is cool. Than the next week at work he teases me like crazy and talk to me. He is always makiing fun of me and when i get frustrated at work he tells me i am awesome and should not let work get to me. He teased me today and i got annoyed with him so i fought back and stuck up for myself and he was like finally your fightin back. Than i started to begin to teases, like he woul d walk in my way and i would say get the **** out of my way and he would just laugh. everytime i walked by him too he would pretend to backhand me. I was insecure about wrapping a pallet so he started it for me and made me do it no matter how hard i tried to get out of it, he just told me he believed in me and i should believe in myself. Does he like me and why is he glad i am sticking up for myslef against him now?
