Ok here's a list of the body language that he has displayed around me:

-Spreads his legs so far apart he's almost touching my foot
-Is very polite
-Seems to use his eyes - makes me uncomfortable
-Smiles a lot
-Acts like he's interested in conversating with me
-Makes an effort to know more about me (might mean zilch)
-A little shy
-Looks at my chest
-Seems to 'linger' or find sth to say before I leave class... but i just walk off.. you know non-chalant like LOL (he prolly wants a study partner)
-Points to things on my paper, invading my personal space
-Tries to help me, when I need help: For example, if there is a question i do not know... he'll be like, you want me to ask the prof.. and he does.

My analysis of the situation is that he might actually be flirting with me... but is in part exercising his flirting skills for the fun of it ( I'm 3 years older) while also asking me a few questions about the material in class bc i am doing (probably) significantly better than him

Is there anything I can do to either know he isnt using me.. and if he is.. how i can get him to stop using me.. without it being tremendously awkward for me.

I know this guy through a college course we are currently taking together. He usually makes contact with me by visiting the place where I study and also in class as he sits next to me.
