I wouldn't give this another thought. Most women are on the fence on how attractive they are to the other sex. He gave you a confidence boost. Accept it and be happy

Well...except it DIDN'T boost her confidence. It bothered her.

Therein lies the 'power' of negging. The subtle self doubt, the wondering if it's true, or just misinterpretation. A lot of negging is easy to spot because it's obvious, but the one the OP mentioned is very subtle. They must have an updated script because everyone else seems to think it's just a compliment.
All the OP needs to do is more closely observe what he says, and how he says it.

So last night this new guy I'm seeing was telling me how much he liked me and then threw in a comment that's making me wonder, he said "and you're very pretty, you're much prettier than you think you are". Now I've never made any comments about my looks to him or anything, so not sure where this is coming from. When I asked my best friend she said it sounds like he thinks I may lack some confidence, for instance I don't always walk into a room with my held an high and stuff like that. I don't want to come across as lacking confidence, I mean I'll be honest I may not have the highest of self esteems and I have insecurities like everyone else, but I didn't realize it was coming across so strongly. So do you guys think that's what he meant or could it be just something he said without thinking? I could ask him but I really don't want to bring it up to him.
it's an awkward compliment. you're reading too much into it. should probably be glad he's not a smooth talker and a player. he'd lay pipe and be gone like the wind the moment you step out of the bedroom to urinate. If it really bothers you, tell the nerd to take a hike and look for someone with a well practiced glib tongue
