Does he like me as a "little sister" or something more?

He's 6 years older than me (he's 24, you do the math). We met about two months ago, and we've been talking ever since, especially in the Facebook chat (since we don't have many opportunities to meet up face to face). Once at a party not too long ago though, I was basically freezing to death because we were outside in the cold. He offered me his scarf and gloves, and I accepted. We talked and had lots of fun the entire evening. When I was about to go home, he let me keep the scarf and the gloves, and told me he'll come by my house to pick them up sometime later. He also gave me his phone number, and told me to call him when I get home so that he knows I got home safely. He ended it with a goodbye hug.

He's really nice and acts like a true gentleman, but I'm afraid that he treats me like this because he sees me as a little sister that he needs to protect (because of the age gap). How should I interpret his actions?

it could go either way...but I know my real brother would want his stuff back if he wasn't leaving too. and I also know that my older guy friends would let me take something of theirs home with me because they know id get it back to them. I think you 2 would need to spend more time together to really know, also I know that some of the longest relationships I've been in or heard of generally start from friendship, it could be tht he's just going slow because you are a bit younger and he doesn't wanna spook you. but I think with time you will get your answer.

He seems a little interested, but that's a huge age gap right now. Work on your friendship.

I think he's interested in you and probably just doesn't want to be any more forward than he has already been because he may be concerned that you'll think he's a creep due to the age difference even if that's not the case.
