Exactly, that emotional manipulation attempt to publicly but passive aggressively pressure OP into "talking" (read: this BS wont stop until hes dated or fucked OP) to him so he feels better and less "depressed" is fucking lazy. A truly depressed person won't latch on to someone they're crushing on who hasn't hung out with them outside of work IMO. I'd die before reaching out to a romantic interest I barely knew about this stuff. Is he trying to show how deep and "emo  7ff8  tionally in touch with himself" (read: whiny, entitled, not willing to get help or work on himself) he is? Typical fat behavior.
