I take a class at uni with a lecturer about 20 yrs older than me. He is a very encouraging teacher to all us students, but to me, he seems to pay me special attention eg. leaning in to talk. He has even found an excuse to touch me in class, just a playful shoulder massage action, and once on the small of the back when i was going upstairs. I can't read him. I have developed a great respect for him because he is a great teacher, and think he may have some great personal qualities. I think he may want to start a friendship so we can see where things go, but I can't tell. In an e-mail to me on a class topic, he managed to slot in about four compliments. He hasn't really overstepped any boundaries, but i can't shake the fear that maybe i'm being manipulated. I want to get to know him better, but want to be cautious. Do you think that a lecturer paying one student special attention, with lots of compliments could be flirting? How can i tell if he's a manipulator? BTW i'm 27, he's late 40's
