Why would a guy pay so much attention to me if he doesn’t fancy me? He also calls me ‘mate’?

He comments on my Facebook posts a lot and watches my stories, even though I never start conversations with him and I don’t really interact with him, so why is he paying me attention? He gives me quite a lot more attention than he does with other people. He also gives me career advice and is friendly but I don’t know if he just sees me as a friend or he wants something more? He’s 46 and used to teach me, maybe he’s not making a move because of the age gap and the fact that he was my uni professor? I don’t know. But it’s odd he comments on my posts when other uni professors I have on there don’t do that!

Yes he probably likes you
Nah he sees you as a friend
He’s just fond of you 🤷🏼‍♀️
