How much am I supposed to read into this?

Maybe he likes you... atleast as a friend... but you never know.

i wouldn't read too much into it.
at the very least, you two have common interests in tech. stuff. maybe he doesn't have too many other friends that understand the whole tech. knowledge he has. but you seem to, so that's great.
just enjoy having a friend that you can enjoy something in common with - would be my advice.

I think you both have really good points But I think goodwood hit the nail on the head. I think he's comfortable with me because he can talk to me about tech stuff and we understand each other, instead of feeling like a geek or something when someone doesn't have the foggiest about what he's talking about.
