Search Results: being polite or flirting

So I was told that I would be making a promotional video for my college course and all the other students were rather jealous. I asked if it was just because I am student rep but my teacher said he chose me because of my speech and how I can talk in front of almost anyone without stuttering which I guess is true.

The subject at hand is that, during this jealous argument from the students, this American boy in my class shouted to the class that I am the best looking for the video... I was kind of surprised at the beginning but didn't display it because if it was a flirt, I wouldn't want to upset him.

Not to mention, I could list off the top of my head about 3 students who look better and more appropriate for the video, hell I know 2 that look like actual models!

This sort of resulted in a small number of students that I am not fond of accusing him of being gay and flirting with me which annoyed me, not all the class do that, it is only about 1-2 students in a class of 15.

Now the problem at hand is that if he only meant it as a compliment or flirting is difficult for me as I really dislike him but was polite during this situation as I didn't want to make him feel like he can't open up about his feelings without ridicule.

I honestly can't think of one thing I like about him while I can think of many things I dislike about him and how our personalities don't click AT ALL.

Please no homophobic comments, if you put any on here, they will be blocked or reported so be careful ;)

Oh and I know he is gay, he stated when he first joined that he is gay which must be difficult for a class of 15 with only 1 girl in the class :D

I am Bisexual like I have stated before but he is NOT my taste.

Please do help me with this, I don't know how to behave around him now, should I be the same or should I avoid him a bit more so he doesn't think I like him that way?

I've never been in this situation, I don't know how it works...
