Boy's weird lunch compliment accidentally becomes the cutest courtship

Someone's sharing a school lunch story: They're eating lunch in class when their friend — who apparently used to like them — suddenly says 'eat well lol.' They're like '...okay?' and move on.

Next day at lunch, the same guy says it AGAIN. Now they're confused. But the day after THAT, the guy suddenly goes 'why didn't you tell me to eat well back?? lol'

So this dude invented his own secret love language — saying 'eat well' and waiting for it to be returned — and never told anyone the rules. Poster admits: okay yeah, that was a little cute.
