How can I get a guy to notice me as a woman?

The guy I like treats me like a little girl.
We have a 10+ years difference, but I always put on nice clothes and the right amount of makeup, but when we talk he asks only about my work and studies, or if I need help with stuff.
She treats me like my dad or a teacher would and I don't like. I mean I like when he offers to take care of me, but I'd like for him to take notice of me as a woman and take care of other 'needs'.
Should I be direct with him?

Okay I've made up my mind and decided to call him to come over at my place to talk things over. Wish me luck!
