Is this man being weird or normal?

Context: he is about 50-60 years old and I am 22 years old. He is connected to the college I attended (not a professor or instructor), and we met at an internship I had during college.

He wants to be friends with me, but I’m really hesitant. Why would he want to be friends with me? Is he just lonely?

We met twice for breakfast and he gave me a small present (something related to my work at the internship). I have since moved and am no longer near him, but he wants to keep in touch.

The line “there is no question I enjoy spending time with you” felt a little off to me. It felt… romantic?? Idk. Maybe I’m overthinking things. He has a wife, I have a boyfriend.

Also, he is autistic. So maybe he’s just communicating in his normal way and not meaning to be weird.
