I think it's somewhat of a dangerous strat: If he isn't coming out with it full-on about "hey, I think your daughter has a crush on me, I find it weird", they may think he's fishing, and that's an immediately distrustful situation.

If he brings it up, he has to set the tone, and that would be a fucking minefield.

If dad or mum comes at him with "hey, I think my daughter has a crush on you..." he can better observe the tone and decide how to react.
