 OP,
With your update. it's possibly just a calming habit that he is not aware off.

 It may mean nothing, but if it does, then it probably does not mean what prompted you to ask this question.

My Dad does that all the time and since I'm certain he doesn't need to remind me he's married to my Mum, I'd guess it's just a habit for many people.

 Maybe just anxious, especially if the chit chat is flirty or just habit

I thought we were in the "friend zone."now :-). i am very happily married and a mom. Just want our interaction to be "normal"and thought it was really odd behavior.

I agree with WiseOwlE
For some it can also be a habit, like biting his nails, drumming his fingers.
It more than likely not something he is fully aware of.

Under what circumstances does this happen, and how often does it have to?
