Search Results: telling a crush i like him

I have a huge crush on this guy who owns a cafe. I’ve been a regular customer since it opened and we have gotten quite close. We flirt a lot and sometimes it’s very sexual.
Recently he said something which made me feel giddy but I’m not entirely sure what he meant by it. First we were flirting and he put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me tightly into an embrace. He then pushed my head into his shoulder/chest area and then suddenly remembered there is a pandemic!

His colleague was looking at my bum and he told him off. I jokingly said, “well I do have a nice bum”
He had a look and said “it’s ok, I’ve seen nicer bums”
I told him off and told him that he’s mean to me. His reply was “I could tell you that you are the most beautiful girl in the world but you wouldn’t believe me because there is no most beautiful, there is always someone better. There are people better than me and people better than you”

Was he telling me I’m beautiful? How would you interpret his comment?

So I was chatting to my crush. We have a very flirty relationship. And the flirting has become very sexual.

Today I was talking to him and his colleague kept walking past and looking at my bum. My crush jokingly told him off and then I said as a joke “surely you can’t blame him, I’ve got a nice bum”

He then had a look and he said “your bum is ok, but I’ve seen nicer bums”

I said “you’re so mean to me” then he said

“I could tell you you’re the most beautiful girl in the world but you wouldn’t believe me”

I said “coming from you I wouldn’t believe it” and he said “exactly, there’s people better than me and better than you”

Before this he was stood extremely close to me so his body was touching mine slightly.

I’m asking because in my opinion he is way out of my league.
