If guy compliments my hobbies and emphasizes how cool it is, is he flirting?

I complimented his hobby and he complimented my hobby back lol.

In general, I don’t think that’s an obvious flirty thing to say. Especially the word “cool” makes it sound more like friendly conversation. But if he generally seems very interested in you, that could very well be his form of flirting. Some guys are less direct than others.

If you like him, smile a lot when talking with him and maybe touch him a little on the arm or so.

He may be flirting with you but I feel there would be much more obvious signs of this. What you describe sounds like the natural human instinct of reciprocity, where you feel obliged to give something back to someone, this could be in physical form like a gift or in the form of a compliment like yours.

Not enough information so could be no. I might compliment the hobby just cause it's cool

Ur right. I texted him first (we don’t really know each other). We were talking about his hobby (he’s posted about it on his social media).
After I complimented his hobby he asked if I have a hobby.
If he wasn’t interested wouldn’t u think that he would keep the convo short and not ask questions back and compliment my hobby?

He could just be really nice but maybe he thinks you're cute too it's not for sure but I think it's either one of those two options

[Asker]

by the way we were talking in the instagram dm’s and he was liking my messages too (when u like a message heart icon shows up below the message). Also he was using a lot of emojis (smiley face and the laughing face)
Like u said either he’s really nice or interested lol.

[Tea-Spaghetti]

yeah good luck if you're interested in him :)

very likely but not definative

[Asker]

Why do u think so ?

[magiusX26]

could be a hobby he has heard of and really excites him. could be he is trying to flirt. could even be something else, I don't know what mind you.

[Asker]

But u think he’s likely flirting?

[magiusX26]

its more likely than not, so yes

[slatyb]

Yes. Were you?

[Asker]

Yes haha.

[Asker]

But I don't know he could be just friendly.
