*frowns* Annoying question....

Now, as some of you may possibly have surmised, given how frequently I've mentioned him, I very much like Michael-in-my-Latin-class. That actually has very little (I think) to do with my question, just wanted to get that out in the open (in a sufficiently friend-protected post, of course).
The trouble is... he's confuzzling me! *whines*
Since the beginning of the school year, I've been going to the Classics club with him and watching I, Claudius (featuring a very young Jean-Luc Picard!!!). And I've noticed something... irksome. When he introduces me to various people, it's "This is Connie, she's interested in Klingon" or "This is Connie, she's very brilliant" or "This is Connie, you know, she's thinking about Indian Dance (that was to someone who takes Ballroom Dancing with him)". I've also noticed that nobody else does this and he doesn't do this to anyone else (at least, not when I'm around). So this behaviour is 1. not normal and 2. not normal for him. It's also irritating. For reasons I do not wish to divulge, I figured out very early in my school career that I didn't want people to excessively notice me. Now I don't mind being noticed *so* much (hence the famous bubble blowing), but I still want it on my terms, not his.
So, question: How do I get him to stop without saying "that's weird for ANYONE, and it's also weird just for you"?

My opinion? He likes you.
