I absolutely don't want any personal kind of relationship. Fortunately he tends to keep things professional, but if/when he does, I tend to throw his own techniques right back at him....
So:
If he were to stare at body parts, I would ask (in a polite, friendly way) what he was looking at.
If he were to ask if I had a crush, I would ask him why he asks that.
One time he asked if I thought I was getting anything out of therapy. "Why do you ask?" I thought he was getting ready to fire me. It turned out all he was interested in was *my* impressions and did I think I was progressing.
