My advice is to keep this relationship professional as best you can. That would mean no discussion of feelings or parents with him. I think that it would be good to say that you will communicate weekly and ask if he could give you feedback on what you write each week.

I agree that the counseling center might be helpful in addressing the feelings that he is eliciting.

Him talking about his hobbies is unprofessional so it would be good to think of ways to avoid this if possible as it is a waste of your time. But I recognize that it might be a challenge to avoid it. Maybe keeping the relationship by email as much as you can is worth considering? Perhaps he would not email you about his hobbies.

Im sorry that he is acting the way that he is.
