Is he genuinely attracted to me or love-bombing and negging my looks?

So I started chatting with a man that I met online who lives out of state. We’ve been talking consistently for about three weeks. He’s very respectful and very sweet. We’ve started to FaceTime, and I’ve noticed that he’s so caught up in my looks. I’m a very beautiful woman—no over-exaggeration—but he’ll compliment me at least 30 times and just stare me down. Granted, I know FaceTime is all about looking at the person you’re talking to, and I’m happy he finds me attractive, but it’s kind of a lot. He’ll tell me, “OMG, you look like a model,” “You’re so pretty,” or “You’re beautiful” at least 30 times.

Also, some of the comments he’s made have thrown me off. He’s also seemed so caught up in my skin color. He asked, “So what skin color are you? Because your face, hands, and neck are different colors.” I thought this was odd and maybe a form of negging.

I have big natural curls, and sometimes I like the messy bedhead look. He asked me, “Do you always wear your hair messy?”

He also asked me to do a staring contest with him on FaceTime. He’ll be deeply staring at me, and he said it’s because he’s paying attention to every detail on my face. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it feels like it went from compliments to just straight negging.

Also when he’ll keep complimenting I’ll get annoyed and tell him enough. He’ll respond saying “well you don’t think you’re beautiful, I want you to feel confident about yourself” …. Like be fr, I know I’m beautiful but you don’t have to compliment me 80 times in a span of a hour..

Am I tripping?
