Crush called me "sweet." If if it was meant playfully, could this be interpreted as him complimenting me? Could he be displaying interest?

So, I sit with my crush and our friends at lunch. Last Friday, I sat in my usual seat, but there was gum stuck on the side of table that got on my shirt. I was so embarrassed, especially since this happened in front of my crush!

Therefore, today when I had lunch with them, I moved a seat over directly next to my crush. My friend immediately noticed and said "Oh, (my name) just wants to sit next to (my crush)~"

Suddenly, my crush sits next to me, and replies, "Aw, how sweet."

I sarcastically reply to cover up my blush, saying "Yeah, you should be touched."

I felt so embarrassed to be called out, despite my denying their claims. But, my crush didn't seem to be fazed, and we talked a lot in the halls afterwards.

He also complimented me later in the day. I drew a realistic picture of him and I confronted him about it since my friend texted it to him over the weekend and didn't respond to it. He said "Oh yeah, it was pretty good." As we were walking, I tried to prevent it the whole drawing him thing from being weird so I kept rambling and we ended up far away from our classes because we were just following each other and not paying attention. 😂😂😂
Yes, it's a compliment! Even if it was playful, he's displaying his interest in you!
No, he's just joking. He probably doesn't like you.
