Why do some guys awkwardly flirt by picking at you?

[graacceey]

Rather than just say “. Hey. You’re pretty.” They’ll pick at your height or your glasses etc

Not everyone knows how to start :D

And even if they gathered the courage and managed to say something, it's not always as good as it was in their head :D

For me flirt is a way of meeting and getting to know people.

Some years ago, on a company outing (before COVID, outings were obligatory), I spotted a guy I'd never seen before. I needed like an hour or so to gather all my courage to flash the smile number 7 and say, "Hey, I didn't see you here earlier. Are you new?". He wasn't new. He worked there longer than me, in the C-level position... lol
But we got along quite nicely and still are in contact. The only person who openly calls me "Red" lol

Give them a chance and join the game. Don't expect much, and enjoy

they don't know what to do so they try something 🤷‍♀️

which they'll have better results with than trying nothing

It's a way for some guys to show that they like you.

Doesn’t sound like flirting to me…

I don't think that's flirting.
