Idk how to feel abt it

There's this guy at work I've grown fond of, to the point where I can just be open with him. I see him as a friend, and so does he(i hope to believe). I know he has a partner, so I'm obviously respectful of this. I like him quite in a platonic sense. But for the past few weeks, I've noticed him mimicking my behaviours, following me around in a subtle way, always trying to stay close to me. It makes me feel uncomfortable, because people at work seem to be jokingly telling me, " your boyfriends here", or slyly grinning at me when they say, " his here". I don't hate him or anything, but I just want him to respect boundaries. I would hate to be his partner and find out you're kicking it with a female coworker in a manner that may come off as disrespectful. I might be overthinking it. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
