I think I could roll with it. I imagine you two sort of built mental pictures of each other and it feels weird.
I know you wanted him to act like a cartoon character and douse you with compliments, but that might have been an unrealistic expectation depending on the circumstances and your paramour specifically.
You might be ugly. You might also be dealing with a beta that doesn't know how to compliment. Or maybe it's just online weirdness like I said with the mental pictures or whatever.
Point is, you don't really have to let this wreck your self confidence, just yet. If he's still talking to you that's a win.
Maybe he's autistic.

I’ve come out with ‘you wash up well’ or ‘yeah you are passable’
both however are said with some humour as we both know she looks stunning.
i have also dead panned a ‘I thought you were getting dressed up for tonight’ but that’s been a few months into dating before.
the thing is everyone is different, I am not a huge one on how a person looks, it’s more about them, yes an emotional connection.
i would pick up on things like tattoos, piercings, boots, etc or how a dress looks good, however rarely would say a girl looks hot, sexy etc, unless I had that emotional connection, as it’s just clothes etc.
I probably would be hurt but I'd brush it off. I wouldn't confront him though because I would be afraid he would think I'm overreacting.

Yeah, this "not bad looking" term is indeed like a punch in the nose. The expression itself get things down, especially if it's used right from the start.
I’m noticing a trend of people being weird when it comes to paying compliments. Is it possible he froze up and just said the first thing to come to his mind?
