If a guy asks you out on a date, he's interested.
If he continues to ask you out, he likes you.
I haven't read any of the posts - but my take:
It means he lent you some books.
Don't read into anything.
He tends to blush while we talk, and he always smooths his hair and rubs his face. I read that both are preening gestures that men will make when they are attracted to a girl. He seems to smile at me in a flirtatious way. Anyways, he's informed me that I am welcome to come back ANYTIME I feel like discussing a book with him. I know this may be nothing for a teacher, but isn't discussing books KIND OF romantic?
No. I have had several academic conversations with professors and there has never been an inkling of romance. Its not "kind of" romantic...its a teacher student relationship not two lovers reading poetry or Shakespearian sonnets. Regardless, its unethical and quite possibly against school guidelines for him to pursue you.
Body language isnt a very good predictor of anything in my opinion. Maybe he has razor burn from his morning shave and his face itches. Maybe he's warm and thats why he is flushed. I have a socially inept professor that almost never makes eye contact and sometimes blushes when you ask him questions or talk to him one on one after class...he isn't interested in me or any of my fellow students.
Let it go...really. Student prof relationships are not usually a good thing.

Though I appreciate everyone's views, I have to say I don't appreciate your lack of sensitivity.
For your information I don't actually date and have never actually had a boyfriend. You all imply that ALL men go after what they want and so I should wait for them to come to me, but I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY BEEN ASKED OUT ON A DATE!!!! You're all pretty much implying that I'm a loser for never having been asked out and for not understanding how guys think.
This man is no longer my teacher and I am much younger than most of you. I don't play games, I don't plan on meeting the right guy in a bar, I will never have a one-night-stand, I want someone with whom I share a common interest, and so far this man and I do.
I want you to be honest about how you percieve the situation, I really do. But for god's sake I'm young, inexperienced, and quite frankly unlucky in love.
No one is implying that you are a loser.
Think of it this way, though - okay, maybe he is interested.
