he told me keep in touch ok!
hello there, right, when I said goodbye and see you in a months time after the lesson, he replied, keep in touch ok take care. now, I know the meaning of keep in touch but I don't know in his situation coz we tease and laugh also disagree from time to time. wondering if he wanted me to text him now and then. we're friends but also I have to admit I'm developing a teeny tiny crush on him. he's never said keep in touch before. he just looked gloomy while he was saying that. Thanks

You mentioned a lesson. I don't know what kind but lets say its music lessons for an instrument. If you won't see that person for a month, perhaps all they mean is for you to text or email once or twice during the time they are gone with something related to music like, "I have been practicing playing Beethovens Piano Concerto #3 very diligently and today my parents just said they noticed I was playing much better today. You know, stuff like that.
Lots of people say things out of habit or politeness that they don't mean as a gateway for you to begin telling them your life history, funny stories and how you feel, all at once.
We greet people with "How are you?" instead of saying Hi. But if we say how are you, every once in a while you get people who will really tell how they are.
"YOu really want to know? Well, I've had a headache all day for 3 days now and I suspect its due to fact I need a new pillow to sleep on. Plus my brakes started squealing and the neighbor threw trash over the fence into my garden, well garden waste but thats totally .... " and so it goes.
The phrase,, "Keep in touch" is another one that can go both ways. Sometimes the person means it just to be polite and other times really cares and wants you to keep in touch. That is why its best to stay on the safe side and not bombard him with tons of emails or texts or phone calls. Just assume it was only for politeness sake and act accordingly. Now lets say after the month is over and he's back, he asks why he didn't hear more often from you, then you could say he only asked you to keep in touch which you did, updating him twice. So you are wondering how often HE was hoping to hear from you. I don't know if he's just a friend or a tutor/teacher. If a friend, you could say, "You are making it sound like you want to be a bigger part of my life than just a friend by wanting to hear really often from me. And that puts him in a place where he has to explain. If he doesnt explain, ask him to explain as you can't read his mind. If its a tutor, you could use the words "a bigger part of my life than just student/tutor". If he does not make any move on you asking you out or asking to be friends or trade cell numbers, then likely he does not have the kind of interest you do. As to looking gloomy, I wouldn't try to read into a facial expression. For all you know, he might have had a bad headache that day and we all tend to look in pain or gloomy when not feeling up to snuff.
