I, a straight man, work in a large office. There is another guy in a different department than me, but we usually cross paths in the hallway or lunch room. Every day, he would comment on my suit and say how much he likes it and calls me his "buddy" or "friend". I usually just say a quick thanks and continue on. It's been ongoing for a month or so, and it doesn't bother me much but I don't want him to like think he has a chance or something. Would you just keep rolling along with it or would you lay it out to him that there's nothing here for him? Am I overthinking or overreacting?

Update: I have overreacted and overthunk this by a mile it seems

With tonight's race, it will be the first here since the 1978 Daytona 500 without a Busch or Earnhardt in the field.

Dale Earnhardt was in the field from the summer race in 78 to 2001

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was in the field from the 2000 500 to summer 2017

Kyle Busch was in the field from the 2005 500 to this year's 500 with the lone exception of the 2015 500

Kurt Busch was in the field from the 2001 500 to the 2022 500 and missed the 2015 500 as well
