For example we were at school gates and he said 'I saw your comment on facebook about playing football, you should be taking it easy Madam (as if he was telling off a little kid) otherwise you will end up in A and E again'. This related to me playing football with my son as I had a major op a while ago but he has been quite a caring person asking how I am.I suppose everyone is different in the way that they use it.

 Maybe he doesn't feel the need to comment on your posts. I do think you are over thinking this.

It is possible that he cares about you but he is unavailable so he is avoiding to show interest,or that he is worried that his comments on fb could reveal his true feelings for you, or he is hesitating to start something that he is forbiden to do. These are only guesses from a male perspective, you just have to use your own female intuition to find the answers.

His behavior puzzles you and your want some answers on why a person would behave this way.It is quite valid for you to be wondering why he behaves this way. You are questioning his actions, words and wha he does and the way he does it.Is he just making conversation? Or is he flirting? Or does he think he is just being sociable?I think it is his clumsy way of getting your attention. If you want his attention then well and good. Smile back and signal in other ways by being happy to talk for a while. Though make sure you are on your way before he has to say that he needs to be on his way. Leave him hoping and wishing for more. Find out a bit more about him, if you are interested.If the way he tries to get your attention does not resonate with you then just be cheery but brisk with him. Always be too busy to chat. Always have something or somewhere else you need to be without explaining what nor where. Either way he will get the message loud and clear, unless he cannot read the signs.

Apologies for a silly question? You haven't actually ASKED a question! But I guess you're asking "is this normal?" or "why doesn't he comment on my status?"
Well, you're right. Everybody uses facebook differently. Perhaps he doesn't comment on your status because he gets to see you fairly often and would prefer to "comment" in person.
Perhaps he feels you might "over-analyse" any comments he makes and wonder why he made them. (After all, you're over-analysing now about why he DOESN'T post.)
Perhaps he feels that other people might misunderstand any comments he makes and draw unnecessary attention to your page. For example, the remark he made to you in person "you should be taking it easy Madam" could be misconstrued to be a proper telling off instead of a cutesy "take care of yourself" remark. You yourself had to add the comment that it was said as if he was "telling off a child" so the meaning was clear. Written words don't REALLY give the actual meaning of the message and can be taken the wrong way. Perhaps that's what he wants to avoid
But I speculate - why not ask him? Or simply say that you'd like him to comment on your status sometimes because it makes you feel special or whatever if it means so much to you.
