My crush said he respects me one day then called me a slut two days later. Was he trying to flirt or?

He's my best friend's other best friend. Lets call the guy Aaron. Aaron used to bully me last year because I was lowkey a bit of a slut. This year, I've changed a lot and he's nice to me now. I also somehow developed a crush on him. We share several things in common and we both love to run. He remembered that from a couple months ago and brought it up recently. Also a couple days ago, somehow we got to the topic of my other friend being interested in me sexually. I told Aaron that the other guy had tried to grab my boobs once. Aaron said "I would too but I respect you." I was shocked at him having the balls to say that because he's a guy that has never made a move on his crushes previously, according to my bestie. So the next day, Aaron sat somewhere else. He didn't talk to me at all except when i was looking at his hair (he put it up like hyunjin) which he only said "hi" i said "hi" then he said "can I help you?" which he says a lot by the way. Then I had my bestie tell Aaron that I liked his hair because I didn't get the chance to do it myself.

When he called me a slut we were saying fuck you back and forth. Last time we did this and i looked away before saying "fuck you" back, he said "yay i win" or something to that effect

Well as stupid as it sounds he may be saying that in a loving, playful way. But I’d have to understand the context. Like we’re you two arguing or something? Or just joking around? Cause if it was joking around chances are he said it in a playful, caring kind of way. Like dudes we’ll say what’s up bitch to each other, even girls do that, but that’s in a caring way if you get what I mean. But if he said it in a serious manner than that’s different. When you say low key slut what exactly does that mean? Like sleeping around w a lot of dudes?

It was definitely playful. I had also gave him all the answers for a quiz game thing called Kahoot! that we did in class, which ended up earning him 3rd place and a candy. He seemed genuinely grateful when he thanked me too. With extra long eye contact as well. And I mean low key slut as in i sent nudes to a lot of guys and dated a guy who later shared my nudes. Which I really regret all of that by the way, and have made big efforts to change. I am still a virgin and the most I've ever done is be fingered by my boyfriend (now ex).

I see. I don’t think that necessarily classifies you as a slut as far as sending pics. If that was so then all these women who pose naked in magazines would be sluts too. Now if you were sleeping w every single one of them or performing some kind of sexual act I may think different. For the one person who did share your pics he should have…well I won’t say but he would have had something had that been my daughter. Yes I would have been upset w her, but not to the extent that I would have been w him. But in answer to your question of may have just been saying it in caring way as much as that sounds fucked up. Let’s say I had a friend who got kicked in the balls by a girl, my friends would “bag” on him by calling him “blue balls” or something like that.
