Is it weird he still talks to me?

I asked my crush out about a month ago and he rejected me. It was no big deal though, and sure it was awkward for awhile, but after about two weeks he started talking to me.

Of course this sounds normal, except he never talked to me UNTIL I asked him out. We had no interactions whatsoever, maybe asking each other about homework once or twice, but otherwise none at all. And then all of a sudden he starts talking to me.

He even started following me on Instagram, and he was the one who followed me first. He also likes every photo I post... not even my close friends like every single photo.

Also the other day he complimented me, which threw me off completely. If I were in his shoes I would NEVER compliment a guy I rejected. I would assume it would just send off the wrong message, right?

Is this weird? Does this mean anything? I asked other people and they say that he possibly likes me, but that doesn't make sense since I asked him out and he declined.

What's your opinion? Does he like me? And if he does, what do I do? Ask him out again? I don't want to seem too straightforward...

I think maybe he declined because he didnt know you well enough and then maybe he thought about it and decided youre worth getting to know and maybe now he does kinda like you. But i wouldnt ask him out yet. You already did so he knows you like him. Its his turn to make the move. If i were you id wait for him to ask you out this time. Maybe be kinda flirty to let him know youre still interested haha
