Does this guy likes or dislikes me, based on the comments he makes about me?

[Anonymous]

We hang out with the same group of friends. He always makes a lot of comments and considerations about my personality, which annoys me a bit. A selection of things he said about me I can remember about:

- he often compares me to his mother

- He thinks “I know a lot of trivia” (not sure how to take that)

- He tends to think that I’m better at doing things than I actually am

- he sometimes comments my hobbies saying I’m ready to become a mom

- he once commented in a surprised way that I am more playful than he thought I would be

- he’s usually making compliments as to my abilities

- he’s usually very caring with me

- I’m pretty sure he talked to one of his male friends about me and complained that I am too independent as a woman (because his friend called me out about me not letting men be gallant with me and that’s something that I’ve already heard from him)

Girl, it's kind of hard to say for sure if that dude actually likes you based on all that. Some of what he says could go either way. Here's what I think:

- Comparing you to his mom is weird, but might mean he sees you as caring/nurturing like her?

- Saying you know trivia could be a backhanded compliment, like you're smart but not in a fun way? Boys are dumb tho

- Thinking you're better at stuff even when you're not is maybe him trying to build you up?

- Saying your hobbies are "mom-like" is rude af tho, wth

- Being surprised you're playful shows he had you in a box before

- Compliments on your abilities sounds like he respects you at least

- Being caring is definitely a green flag

- Complaining about you being "too independent" is MAJOR red flag misogyny

Overall seems like mixed signals - he both puts you on a pedestal and disrespects you. If it was me, I'd be avoiding putting any trust in a dude who talks about me behind my back like that, you feel? But guys are weird. Keep your guard up sis!
