Does my university lecturer feel the same way? Or am I daughter figure?

Basically at university there has been a new lecturer who has been there for over a year. He has a lot of back lash from the cohort, not his fault they were just rebelling change but i defended him (before i knew him) as i follow what right. Anyways hes about 45ish, hindu, im 22 sikh. when at uni i had broke down crying he did take me to his office and cup his hand over my ear and side of my face. Is that daughterly/father thing or some one who cares? and well when ever i need help at university e.g stuff happened and i need advice he will always help me. he would just sneak me in his office and help me and then once told me to keep it a secret. but no cheating or anything like that, just when things kicked off. But i get shy talking to him now. Anyways some thing had kicked off in my cohort when a new lecturer came, and he asked my friend to tell me to go and talk 2 him. So i did, but i guess i was flirty. He said that he wanted to know who those two ppl in my cohort were, i explained i didn't know their names. He said the uni has picutres so if i come over to his office later i can help, and it will be kept between us. I did ask what do i get out of this, jokingly do i get a A? even though all my assignment have been handed in. He looked down shy then back up at me eye contact and got close but back away saying will give me a reference. I walk back to my seat but when he leaves i can see him in the corner of my eye standing at the door with couple inches open just smiling and staring at me waiting for me to look. am i being weird or is there something?

See if he is 45 yrs old definitely he would be married with kids and if you feel like there is seriously something then he is looking for an extra marital affair which is awful,hope you get it.

What do you think though?is he flirting or is it in my mind Same time when i did email him professionally to arrange a meeting for me to help him with that task, he hasn't replied to me.
