What does it mean when a guy and his male friend exchange a smirk, but they does they every time they see you for over a year?

I know this means (likely) that the guys think the girl is hot/good looking, but what I don't understand is why the guys would do this for so long, i. e., seeing the girl on average once a month or once every two weeks for over a year. For example, I walk into the room at a busy community event, they notice me then exchange a smirk with each other. I thought one of the guys, who was single, liked me cause he would do other things like stare at me when he thought I wasn't looking, hover around me, try to follow behind me in line, etc. But he never spoke to me and when I would try to make eye contact with him (i. e., to smile, work into saying hi), he generally would look away quickly and then smile to himself and/or smirk at his friend. I am by myself at these community events every time.

I recently looked at the guy's instagram and saw that he started dating a girl (it was obvious), but I saw him that week and he was still doing the smirky thing and purposefully followed behind me in line, and they both were staring at me hard. They are now a couple from what I saw on his instagram and I stopped seeing him around. But it baffles me... if he knew he never wanted to pursue things with me, why carry that on for so long. I feel lead on.

If he doesn't know you or you don't know him then it's gotta be the booty. No nicer way to put it you're that one hottie they probably talked about seducing as a joke but neither of them got the guts to do it so they do this as a way to tell each other "here she comes go for it" "nah dude another time"

Yes it was wrong to lead you on and many things he did was not appropriate given that he never had any interest in you.

They're lusting after you. Steer clear. It's not that theu like you. They see you in bed with one of them or both. Nobody can just like you. And don't really know you either. They're playing games. Guys you want to ignore.

The reason you think is likely it, what's the big deal? You have asked this several times.

Good memory, haha. I was thinking of this again because I heard he's back now and was looking for me... which made me think, if I was just a hot girl to him this whole time, then why look for me specifically? There are other hot girls around.

That doesn't matter to guys. Just like you can't understand this I (and guys) have no idea why something like this even matters. You girls LOVE attention, but then when you get it that attention gets dissected and questioned every which way. It's like you can never just let it be.
