Some people wink after making a joke or sarcastic remark (or if somebody else makes one). If a guy winks at you, he's making the extra effort to establish a personal understanding ("YOU get me, right?"). In this scenario, he is just trying to be friendly. It's who he is.
He Likes You

Female romantic signals include hair tossing. Read the rest of his body language or actions. Did he just offer you a drink? Many guys don't want to come off as overbearing in a social situation. Making general eye contact is a good subtle indicator that he has at least some interest in you. If he puts a hand on your shoulder while telling a joke, winks and walks away, he probably has romantic inclinations toward you.
