<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Ok, so throwaway for obvious reasons.
I've recently moved into a new part of town about a year ago, and I met Vin. Vin, for the most part, was a bit troubled, but has a good heart, is very sweet, and loyal to boot. He has a rough life with two divorced parents and a year out of school, so it's natural that he has a side for dark humor, which can hurt or help, depending on the situation. Recently, when we moved to highschool, he decided to ask me to homecoming (which I was hoping for, as we grew to have feelings for each other) and I agreed wholeheartedly.

However, recently things had begun to be.. wierd for me. Everytime we would text or call, he would always mention how glad he is to have me, and how sweet, kind, and cute I am. He's always sincere about it,  and he's never tried using it as a way of blackmail or manipilation. But... he's been doing it a lot lately. More often than I would like. The first time, I thought it was the sweetest thing. Now... he just says it all the time, to fill in the awkward silence.

 And everytime he praises me I feel obligated to respond in a similar fashion, and tbh, it gets annoying. I really like him, but it's tough to talk to a person that just wants to always talk about you. How should I deal with this? I feel that his words would have more meaning if he'd say that sort of thing less often.
<bot>: My date/friend likes to put me on a pedestal a lot, and it makes me feel inadequate and annoyed because I'd prefer to talk about koalas vs sloths.
