Say honestly was it really a bit creepy of me? Should I try meeting her again?

I am a 23 year old guy living in Bangalore in India but born in Siliguri in West Bengal in India and I never had a gf and usually I always had been shy near girls but recently I have been trying to socialize more with women in my University where I study MBA now and also initiating conversation with random foreign women in our city who are expats. Yes as Bangalore is a big metropolitan city and the IT(tech) hub of India, foreigners do come here as expats. I initiated conversation with 3 such expat women. 5 months ago was with a French woman near my University and then 2 months ago was again with a German woman in this really posh area of the city. But yesterday I went to this big shopping complex in one of the most upscale neighborhood of our city. The shopping complex has many international luxury brands which draws the expats there. Yesterday I went inside this cafe and saw a white Caucasian woman working on her laptop. I was having a cold coffee there and walked up to her and initiated a conversation with her and she was friendly and comfortable with talking with me. She is 29 year old and from the US so she is an American expat here in Bangalore working in a tech company.

I also said her that I am an MBA student and we even asked each other's name. Then we had a conversation about how she is finding the city and stuffs and mostly normal stuffs and then after some conversation I asked for her Instagram to connect but she said she doesn't use Instagram so unfortunately we couldn't connect further and as we just met, I didn't ask her number as its more personal than Instagram. It was one of the few times I felt good being single because in the cafe, most were married couples or with friends so the men couldn't talk with her but as a single young man, I could freely talk to her. Then after having done with the cold coffee, I decided to compliment here. Yeah after talking with her I felt as if I was as charming as Justin Timberlake even though I look kinda nerdy in my glasses. So before leaving the cafe, I said her that she is really cute but she just replied "Okay" and then we said each other bye and nice to meet you and then I walked out of the cafe and she continued working on her laptop. Did I really mess up calling her cute? Should I again go to the shopping complex to meet her another weekend or just focus on the women I am talking to in my University and go for either of them?

I would say you came on a bit strong with the compliment, as it wasn’t really a dating context and you had a clue from her not wanting to give any contact details. From what you describe it doesn’t seem as bad as creepy, but I would not try to find her there again as this certainly could come across that way
