I am teaching English to adults in Spain, can you help me to understand the behaviour of a student of mine?
Today the final straw, he was making sexual allusions to everything I said and kept on doing the clown for the whole lesson and trying to draw attention on himself and make me laugh, is that a sign he likes me or is he only being a narcisist?

My dear, it's a sign of both. He's an immature womanizer who's starved for attention.

Ask him to write down his "allusions" in English and keep them in a journal so you can ask your husband to react to them for you since you are very uncomfortable with them. If you're not married, make up an older male professor who is "willing" to do that. Or ask him to read them out loud to the class so he can have their undivided attention. Do not laugh, smile, or react to his sexual comments. Praise him when he does NOT make sexual references. And above all, discourage the class regarding their laughter and amusement. Finally, ask him (in front of the class) to cease making such comments and if he doesn't, ask him to leave the class permanently.

Could be either or neither. I'd tell him to look for another teacher.
4 :
He contains a child-like Consciousness. He isn't a Man, but a Grown Male.
