Inspired by this post: Why do guys never compliment a woman?

never even interacted with one lol

I had phrased something wrong, I said that I wanted to be a kinder person in general (I said it on social media), it was just stating a goal, being a little lighthearted, not trying to see attention, and someone of the opposite sex, that I hardly know, told me how kind and authentic she thinks I am. I don't really know the person, but I guess she's talking about the interactions we've had, and what I post. I apologized to her, because I took her compliment as her feeling sorry for me, and she said that she never thought that.

If someone that you knew from years ago, sends you a friend request on FB, you accept it. A year or so later, you add them on Snapchat, and they add you back. In a year or so, span you comment on like 2 of the person's pics, and they respond with hearts both times. Some months go by, and the person responds to one of your snaps, where you are playfully teasing yourself, and rebuffs it, like I was being serious. I started commented more on their snaps, having casual conversation, and they respond, usually with substance. The person watches my stories, because their is a thing where you can see it, and then I would compliment the person sometimes on appearance, or just having general conversation. After a while, they responded to a few more of my snaps, and give me weird compliments, like your hair looks fine, or would send emoji if they agreed with something I said on my story, if it applied to them, and complimented me, like they know me personally, when we don't interact in person, and haven't in quite some time, like 10 years ago. When I clarified that I was not trying to seek attention, because that's why I thought they responded, or I was giving off any negative vibes, they said they never took it that way. It just felt weird to me. I don't compliment that person on their personality because I don't interact with them IRL. I will compliment certain things like a drawing, or if they get an award, or something they are wearing, but I never actually complimented them, like I see or talk to them personally anymore. I know it's assumption, but it's still weird to compliment my personality. Do you think it's just friendly interaction, or that and something more? I'll say the person seems to be cool and is cute looking wise to me, but I don't know.
