Problem/Goal: I work at a firm, and there's a male coworker around my age who is already in a relationship. We're casual and comfortable with each other, and I've always treated him as a friend.

One night, another coworker invited us out for drinks as a group, but I didn't end up joining. A close workmate of mine did go, and later told me that this coworker kept insisting that he ask me to come. He also asked about my relationship status.
My workmate also told me that the group was joking and planning that if I showed up, I would have to sit beside him.

It never crossed my mind that he might be interested in me, so I was surprised when my workmate told me about all of this.
What do you guys think?
