Ummm..ummm..hmnmmm... Did I screw up, sorta?
I mean, so this is how things went down with the Libra/Gemini I'm sorta becoming friends with this weekend:
When I got to work on Saturday, I had the intention of asking some people over, and ran into a few of the nice baggers that I talk to, asking them about coming over later for a movie or two, and when I said that, the Libra/Gemini said that he was gonna ask me if I wanted to see "Seed of Chuckie" (horror flick that he has mentioned wanting to see and asked if I wanted to the previous weekend), tickets on him. So I was like, "darn, do you wanna come over for movies instead?"
He went back and forth, asking me more questions, then said he might....

I called a few of my friends from college, and told another gal coworker, that I was "having people over", and told her to tell anyone else that I might know that was free that night. Ok, so friends ended up backing out, so did gal coworker, and therefore no one showed.
But, next day, I found out Libra/Gemini had decided later that night to come but realized he didn't have my address ....

Ok, so then the Libra/Gemini, asks me if I still want to see the movie (this is Sunday night, I'm like "sure!"...then during the course of the shift, I get into a conversation with a customer about how I think movie theatres are overpriced, and my fav place to go for films is the second-run place at a local mall where the movies are $1.75 ...and later that evening, the L/G guy, says, how about renting Shrek 2? (since I'd mentioned having a $0.99 coupon for new releases at a local store) I was like, "that's cool". He said he'd give me a lift to the movie rental place after my shift was over. I was fine with that. So then, and he knew I was off at 9, we didn't exactly finalize the plans, and I eneded up waiting outside work for 30 minutes before just getting a lift home from my mom. Eeesh. Confusion...
So, seeing a movie...is that like a formal "date" or is it hanging out? How should I interpret this, cause I've gotten mixed signals?

Plus, if he was going to ask you to see a film then it's all good right?

Just see it like a mix between a formal & hanging out. Why not? Sounds like you're still circling each other kinda cautiously - so go with it girl - have some fun and use your instincts!

I've been on dates where I know the other person is "into" me in that way, but nothing happens to make it more than just friendly because there's no chemistry.

I just say, go with the flow! See where the path leads you. Worst case scenario, you have a new friend, and that's nothing too bad at all, right?

Also, if you work with this person, he might take it slower to avoid awkwardness at work if things don't work out. So he might really be into you... but cause you work together he may be being cautious. I mean, who wants to studiously avoid someone around the water cooler and be the topic of office gossip to boot? It may well be a factor.

The coworker thing could be an awkward aspect, but see, he's a bagger, and I'm a cashier, so we are not always face-to-face every moment of our respective shifts that don't always overlap that much. I suppose the gossip things could figure in...considering the update I have below:

UPDATE:
hehe, well the drama continues to unfold...
I get repeatedly teased/questioned last night at work by an Aries sun Scorpio moon guy coworker about whether I "like" the Libra/Gemini...he says he thinks the Libra/Gemini likes me alot, and asks if we've gone to a movie yet... I ask him how he knows about that? He responds that he hangs out with everyone and just knows things...

Wow, and I'll see the Libra/Gemini at work today. Who knows what'll happen.

If he's not being straightforward enough for you, then maybe you should take the lead. Ask him and make sure you agree on a specific plan. You don't have to decide right now if it's a date or just hanging out. Just make the plan and I'm sure the answer will reveal itself shortly thereafter!

Good luck!

Here is another brief update:
I don't know why I am so screwy...but as I had the worst weekend in my recorded history (mom and I had a knock-down drag out fight which ended with me moving out for a day or two), I did not give as much focus to the Libra/Gemini guy when I saw him. I mean, I was totally a basket-case on Saturday, moody and angry/sad, which probably confused the he*ll out of his detached Gemini emotions. Then on Sunday, we talked more, about weird stuff like colors of rooms, family backgrounds...And his mother went through my cashier line (for the third time in the last month or so) and acted really friendly and familar with me. I didn't recognize her at first (I couldn't place where I knew her from), but she obviously recognized me. I wonder if there is any meaning behind that, I mean he gets along with his mom, so is her being there chatting with me intentional, or am I way over-reading this?
In regards to your suggestion on being more definite...
My Gemini-Aries gal friend from school has convinced me to write him a small note, and hand it to him at work that says the following:
"(insert his name)~
Hey, how's life? I was just wondering if you still wanted to hang out sometime soon, maybe see a movie or something? Let me know...
~Kat"
It takes a little of the pressure off, I hope.
