That’s called “playing hard to get”. Seems to be working. You’re talking about him. And don’t try to tell us that next time you’re in that local fancy-schmancy grocery store you won’t cast your gaze about a smidge and scan for the lad. You’ll be thinking about him.
So I’d say, yes, dude know exactly what time it is.
I’ve had times when I’ve looked at the time on my phone, and thought: “Holy cow, is it really time X already? I swear it was only half past Y two minutes ago.” So I’ve asked someone the time to double-check.

One of the best cats I ever had was named Bigfoot. God rest his sweet little soul.
Way back in high school, I worked at a movie theater, selling tickets in the box office. Every week, someone would walk up to me and ask what time Movie X started. In response, I would lean forward, tilt the large sign hanging over my head in the window (the sign which was facing them) back to where I could see it, and read the times to them.
Its not mundane unless no one replies, that, or no one just likes you.
Anyway, I had a somewhat similar experience years ago from my previous job. This co-worker of mine saw me drinking water from an obvious water bottle, and asked me,
“Is that water you’re drinking?”
I controlled myself from saying, “They’re all out of cyanide, so I had to drink this instead.”
I guess it can’t be helped though as I never really leave my cubicle unless I need to.
Maybe he thought it was vodka and he was about to ask for some.
I know Catholic churches used to always get the, “What time is Midnight mass?” question, but these days, Midnight Mass is sometimes at 10 PM, so ya hafta ask.
My brother and I are slightly over a year apart. We rode around in a double stroller, me lying in the back as an infant and my brother sitting up as a toddler in the front. Didn’t stop people from asking if we were twins.
Also, FOAFs showing off their new twins, a boy and a girl. Someone asked “Are they identical?”
