Scenario:
Someone that you've never really known about before started to slowly talk to you a little bit, had at most 20-second friendly conversations with you, and messaged you a little bit. If this person said "I want to be friends with you," would you be creeped out?
I have no idea how this "making friends" thing works. It just...happened every time before this.

yes tbh i mean "i want to be friends with you" just makes it feel kind of forced
but i'd still talk to them and see if you'll end up becoming genuine friends, despite them saying that

Nah. I'd be flattered.

I mean... It seems childish, but not creepy. Depending on the context, they could just be making sure you're on the same page with things.

Hmm...what about "I like talking to you."?

I don't think it is creepy at all. The person probably wants to be friends, and why not?
Your dos and don'ts of friend making are different from other people.

That would be a nice thing to say, I think. It's kind of like "I appreciate you" or "I like you" or something of that nature, and it's really hard for more shy people to say - especially to someone they actually value. soo yeah

whoops
so to make this clear
I'm trying to see if saying these things to someone else would be a bad idea.
No one's saying this to me.
I need to be more specific.

out of the two, i think 'i like talking to you' is the better route to take. not that stating that you'd like to instate a friendship is bad, but as people have said it can become forced, whereas saying that you like talking to someone/spending time with them/ whatever along those lines is more of a sincere compliment that could make befriending the other person easier. if giving each other casual compliments (i like your shirt, good job on that presentation in class, etc) isn't something you usually do, you could either go for the 'i want to be friends' approach or follow the compliment with a proposition, like 'maybe we could hang out properly some time?' or something.
idk, just my two cents. take it all with a grain of salt, we're all different and befriending people is very unique to every situation.
