Be careful not to misinterpret. But as long as he doesn't become inappropriate, just remain professional and conduct yourself as you normally would.
Subtly distance yourself

Sorry to disappoint you. He's being nice not flirting
Thank him for his consistently positive feedback and ask him to formalize it in your performance management tool. Remind him that a good word from someone in his 'position of authority' (key words) would go a long way. If he's sincere, you capitalize on it. If not, he backs off. You might also consider sending a note to HR with a few specific comments he has made and those key words so they know to look for the performance feedback (or you've covered yourself if he doesn't stop).
SC1- thank you - hes been a great mentor and advocate for my career at the firm but sometimes the things he says sounds borderline flirting and i just get awkward and not know how to handle it which is why id not want to goto Hr i think
Obviously we're all outsiders but it sounds like he's being genuine in his support for you. You may be over thinking it. Only you can decide when it crosses the line. I encourage you to consider both steps, but at least ask for the feedback using the words 'position of authority' so he hears your message. Good luck
Definitely sounds like you're overthinking it. Obviously we aren't there, but saying something that is "maybe kinda sorta flirty if I choose to take it that way" is not something you want to go to HR with. If he's not making unwanted advances or inappropriate comments/contact I would say that it's innocent and you hurt both his and your career by making anything of it. It's not the preferred way to say "thanks for being such a good mentor to me."
Be carful not to ruin someone's reputation because he "may be borderline flirting".
