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.

There is a chance he might be interested in you, so why not just ask him out to hang out or something?

I don't want to be weird and I have bad social anxiety. I'd be too nervous too. I'd question myself and worry that he'd say no.

[jason_waterfall]

it wouldn't make you weird. lol
Just strike up another convo with him and ask what he is doing this coming weekend. If he says he has no plans, just tell him you're free... and ask him ( casually) if he wants to hang out. When you ask, don't make it seem like a big deal so even if he says no, things won't be awkward and you can carry on chatting as normal.

What would we even do without it seeming likes it's a date?

[jason_waterfall]

Go to a movie or the mall or the park and just talk about random stuff, and get a sense if he likes you or not. This would be ideal because you can make a good impression without any pressure of it being a date and things being awkward. But pick a play were you're comfortable and just relax and have fun...
