I think intentionally or accidentally, he is sending a mixed message. He is skating on some thin conversational ice, in my opinion.
I was in a vaguely similar situation, along with some overly personal self-disclosure stuff from the T. It all seems fun and special at the time. But then, when the bubble bursts, it hurts a lot. I am over all that now but I think something that can seem playful and casual to them has repercussions they do not realize. They should, but some of them just do not realize.
I finally had to tell the person that there were some things I didn't want to hear, that it was too confusing for me.
It can be emotionally seductive in away, IMO.
