Male teacher,55: sexual or parently? (hugs, soulmate-talk etc)

I am a 18 year old girl and has a 55 year old male teacher, (whom is married and also has two adopted children). He is my teacher in history and social sciences and we really have the same interests in these subjects, such as special literature and genealogy.
We often talks around 1 hours 2-3 times per week, the last 6-7 weeks. He says I am his best student ever and stuff like that. He smiles at me a lot, and I think he is kind of flirty, but I am not sure?

The last 6-7 weeks we have talked a lot alone in his room, one-on-one conversations, (around 15-20 times) with the door closed, and when I am about to leave he raises up and hugs me everytime. Two-armed hugs.

Our cheeks touched each others once. Once he also took my hand after the hug and said something like "take care of you" and smiled a lot and with intensively eye-contact.

Another time after a hug he said I am his "soulmate" and smiled. He has only said I am his soulmate once, though. He has also put a hand a little bit over my hip two times when I took my hand on his shoulder. Not during a hug, but after.

It can also be said how he only hugs me when we are alone in his room with the door closed. Never in the corridor or if the door happens to be open.

Is our "relation" inappropriate/weird or is it a normal relation between a teacher and a student with great contact? I also help him a bit at work.
However. Is he flirting or is he just being friendly? Parently or sexually?

It happens at a swedish school, if it matters.

 

Totally totally inappropriate! If it was cool it would not happen behind closed doors! Maybe he's just flattered by the attention you're showing him. Step back a bit.

 

Sounds like he is possibly grooming you for sex. I wonder how many other girls he's done this with.

You're 18 and he's 55. Yes, in some cases age is just a number. But you're his student and he is married with children. Do you want him to leave his wife for you, and to be stepmother to his children? He can't keep up with you, sexually or socially, and you'd be terribly unhappy.

Your life is not started yet, and he is near retirement. You're going to outlive him by about 40 years.

Please step back, or report the inappropriate behaviour. He may be just having a midlife crisis, and I understand that it's flattering for an older man to pay that kind of attention to you, but this isn't a good idea.

 

That is down right fucking creepy.

 

My thoughts as well! If a teacher was doing this with my daughter he could count on a closed door meeting with me that would not include any hugging or groping.

 

It seems like it, having a consensual sexual relationship with a student (even if the student is of legal age) can be a FELONY.
