Will he ever make me a priority, or is he playing me?

I read this OP couple of times, but the above posts seem to be assuming this is a relationship, and I can not find any evidence of that. These people seem young, and this is an opposite-sex friendship, but not a relationship.

Thus, there does not appear to be any problem - except the desires of the OP.

So, did you ask for a relationship? State that you wanted one? Give him any sign you wanted more than a friendship? If you don't make yourself clear, don't expect a young man to read your mind.

"when he is going to start treating me like more of a priority and taking me on dates."

Why not take him on a date, if that is your desire?

Keep in mind, that he may have a policy of not seeking or accepting romantic involvement with a co-worker.
Very poor advice.

I have to agree with the others, except D_Lion, that you deserve better.

As an aside, your situation is exactly why you NEVER want become romantically involved with someone you work with.

I am not referencing the OP. You suggest that she take the initiative and ask the guy out. There is certainly ample evidence in the OP that he is not interested in any dating arrangement with her. He either only wants someone to hangout with on an afternoon or he wants to get into her pants. The former puts her very solidly in the friend zone and the later puts him very solidly in the player category.

In any case her asking him out on a date is definitely contraindicated.
